Attributes control certain numeric properties of players, mobs, and armor stands. Every entity has a base value for each of its attributes, and modifiers that determine the final value.

List of attributes

Each attribute is identified with a namespaced identifier, and has a default, minimum, and maximum value.

Most attributes are present on all living entities, but some attributes only apply to specific entity types. Additionally, some entity types have a base value other than the default.

Modifiers

Attribute modifiers are persistent increases or decreases to an attribute's base value by preset operations.

Each modifier has a namespaced identifier to uniquely identify it. Modifiers affect exactly one attribute, increasing or decreasing its value depending on the modifier's operation and value. The resulting value after modification is capped by the attribute's minimum and maximum limits.

Operations

A modifier may perform one of three possible operations:

Operation	Description
add_value	Adds all of the modifiers' amounts to the base attribute. $Total = Base + {Amount}_{1} + {Amount}_{2} + \dots + {Amount}_{n}$ For example, applying two add_value modifiers with amounts of 2 and 4, to attribute base of 3: $Total = 3 + 2 + 4 = 9$
add_multiplied_base	Multiplies the base attribute by (1 + sum of modifiers' amounts). $Total = Base \times (1 + {Amount}_{1} + {Amount}_{2} + \dots + {Amount}_{n})$ ^{[note 1]} For example, applying two add_multiplied_base modifiers with amounts of 2 and 4, to attribute base of 3: $Total = 3 \times (1 + 2 + 4) = 3 \times 7 = 21$
add_multiplied_total	Multiplies the base attribute by (1 + modifiers' amounts) for every modifier. $Total = Base \times (1 + {Amount}_{1}) \times (1 + {Amount}_{2}) \times \dots \times (1 + {Amount}_{n})$ For example, applying two add_multiplied_total modifiers with amounts of 2 and 4, to attribute base of 3: $Total = 3 \times (1 + 2) \times (1 + 4) = 3 \times 3 \times 5 = 45$

If multiple modifiers are applied to an attribute, the game first executes all add_value modifiers, then all add_multiplied_base modifiers, and finally all add_multiplied_total modifiers. The Total value is always carried as the Base for the next set of modifiers.

The final value is clamped to fit the attribute's minimum and maximum value range.

↑ Simplified, the calculation used in the game's code is like: $Total = Base + (Base \times {Amount}_{1}) + (Base \times {Amount}_{2}) + \dots + (Base \times {Amount}_{n})$

Applying modifiers

Various systems in the game add and remove modifiers.

Commands

The /attribute command can add or remove specific modifiers, including custom ones.

Items

The attribute_modifiers item component defines modifiers that are automatically added to an entity when the item is equipped in a certain slot, and removed when it is removed.

All vanilla weapons and armor use this component to add and remove modifiers with the following IDs:

Modifier ID	Attribute	Items
`minecraft:base_attack_damage`	`attack_damage`	Swords Spears Trident Mace Axes Pickaxes Shovels Hoes
`minecraft:base_attack_speed`	`attack_speed`	Swords Spears Trident Mace Axes Pickaxes Shovels Hoes

`minecraft:waypoint_transmit_range_hide`	`waypoint_transmit_range`	Carved Pumpkin Heads

Enchantments

Enchantment attribute effects define modifiers that are automatically added to an entity when the enchanted item is equipped in a certain slot, and removed when it is removed.

Some vanilla enchantments use this effect to add and remove modifiers with the following IDs. The listed IDs are appended with / followed by the name of the slot the enchantment is active in.

Modifier ID	Attribute	Enchantment
`minecraft:enchantment.aqua_affinity`	`submerged_mining_speed`	Aqua Affinity
`minecraft:enchantment.blast_protection`	`explosion_knockback_resistance`	Blast Protection

Sulfur Cube Archetypes

Sulfur cube archetype definitions define modifiers that are automatically added to a sulfur cube when one of the specified items is given to it, and removed when it is removed.

The vanilla archetypes add and remove modifiers with the following IDs:

Modifier ID	Attribute
`minecraft:bouncy_add_knockback_resistance` `minecraft:fast_flat_add_knockback_resistance` `minecraft:fast_sliding_add_knockback_resistance` `minecraft:high_resistance_add_knockback_resistance` `minecraft:light_add_knockback_resistance` `minecraft:regular_add_knockback_resistance` `minecraft:slow_flat_add_knockback_resistance` `minecraft:slow_sliding_add_knockback_resistance` `minecraft:sticky_add_knockback_resistance`	`knockback_resistance`
