Effects

Sends an action bar message to an audience.

Set whether an allay can or cannot duplicate itself.

This is not the same as breeding allays.

Allows or prevents the leash from being dropped in an unleash event.

Sets whether or not living entities will be able to age.

Applies bone meal to a crop, sapling, or composter

Sets whether the lure enchantment should be applied, which reduces the wait time.

Applies a potion effect to an entity.

Bans or unbans a player or an IP address.

If a reason is given, it will be shown to the player when they try to join the server while banned.

A length of ban may also be given to apply a temporary ban. If it is absent for any reason, a permanent ban will be used instead.

We recommend that you test your scripts so that no accidental permanent bans are applied.

Note that banning people does not kick them from the server.

You can optionally use 'and kick' or consider using the kick effect after applying a ban.

Makes a boss bar have or not have a flag.

The `play boss music` flag does not actually play any sound or do anything.

However you can use a resource pack to play your own custom sound.

Breaks the block and spawns items as if a player had mined it

You can add a tool, which will spawn items based on how that tool would break the block

(ie: When using a hand to break stone, it drops nothing, whereas with a pickaxe it drops cobblestone)

Broadcasts a message to the server.

Interrupts the action entities may be trying to complete.

For example, interrupting eating, or drawing back a bow.

Only usable in commands. Makes it so the current command usage isn't counted towards the cooldown.

Cancels drops of items in a death, block break, block drop, and block harvest events.

The dropped experience can be cancelled in a death and block break events.

Please note that using this in a death event doesn't keep items or experience of a dead player. If you want to do that, use the Keep Inventory / Experience effect.

Cancels the event (e.g. prevent blocks from being placed, or damage being taken).

A general effect that can be used for changing many expressions.

Some expressions can only be set and/or deleted, while others can also have things added to or removed from them.

Charges or uncharges a creeper or wither skull. A creeper is charged when it has been struck by lightning.

Clear the stored entities of an entity block storage (i.e. beehive).

Colors items in a given color. You can also use RGB codes if you feel limited with the 16 default colors. RGB codes are three numbers from 0 to 255 in the order (red, green, blue), where (0,0,0) is black and (255,255,255) is white. Armor is colorable for all Minecraft versions. With Minecraft 1.11 or newer you can also color potions and maps. Note that the colors might not look exactly how you'd expect.

Executes a command. This can be useful to use other plugin in triggers.

If the command is a BungeeCord side command, you can use the '[bungeecord]' keyword option to execute the command on the proxy.

Sets whether the provided command blocks are conditional or not.

Connect a player to a server running on your proxy, or any server supporting transfers. Read below for more information.

If the server is running Minecraft 1.20.5 or above, you may specify an IP and Port to transfer a player over to that server.

When transferring players using an IP, the transfer will not complete if the `accepts-transfers` option isn't enabled in `server.properties` for the server specified.

If the port is not provided, it will default to `25565`.

Prevent the firework used in an 'elytra boost' event to be consumed.

Makes the brewing stand in a brewing fuel event consume its fuel.

Preventing the fuel from being consumed will keep the fuel item and still add to the fuel level of the brewing stand.

Moves the loop to the next iteration. You may also continue an outer loop from an inner one. The loops are labelled from 1 until the current loop, starting with the outermost one.

Copies objects into a variable. When copying a list over to another list, the source list and its sublists are also copied over.

Note: Copying a value into a variable/list will overwrite the existing data.

Damage, heal, or repair an entity or item.

Servers running Spigot 1.20.4+ can optionally choose to specify a fake damage cause.

Make an allay or piglin start or stop dancing.

Providing a location only applies to allays. They will check to see if the the block at the location is a jukebox and playing music. If it isn't, they will stop dancing. If no location is provided, the allay will dance indefinitely.

Providing a timespan only applies for piglins. It determines the length of time they will dance for. If no timespan is provided, they will dance indefinitely.

Delays the script's execution by a given timespan.

When used as an effect, all code after the wait runs once the delay elapses. The whole trigger pauses until the wait finishes.

When used as a section, only the code within the section is deferred. Code after the section continues immediately, and the body runs on the same event once the delay elapses. This is useful for scheduling follow-up work without blocking the rest of the trigger.

Note that delays are not persistent. For example, ban player → wait 7 days → unban player will not resume if the server restarts during the delay.

Inside a section body, outer loop-values are not available because the body is parsed as a separate trigger. Event values (like player) still work. If you need a value from before the delay, copy it to a local variable. Local variables are snapshotted when the section is scheduled, so subsequent changes aren't reflected.

Immediately detonates an entity. Accepted entities are fireworks, TNT minecarts, primed TNT, wind charges and creepers.

Execute an effect if a condition is true.

Drops one or more items.

Enables, disables, unloads, or reloads a script.

Disabling a script unloads it and prepends - to its name so it will not be loaded the next time the server restarts.

If the script reflection experiment is enabled: unloading a script terminates it and removes it from memory, but does not alter the file.

Enchant or disenchant an existing item. Enchanting at a specific level will act as if an enchanting table was used, and will apply the enchantments randomly chosen at that level. Treasure enchantments, like mending, can optionally be allowed. Note that enchanting a book at a specific level will turn it into an enchanted book, rather than a book with enchantments.

Make an enderman teleport randomly or towards an entity.

Teleporting towards an entity teleports in the direction to the entity and not to them.

Enforces or un-enforce a server's whitelist.

All non-whitelisted players will be kicked upon enforcing the whitelist.

Make a living entity despawn when the chunk they're located at is unloaded.

Setting a custom name on a living entity automatically makes it not despawnable.

More information on what and when entities despawn can be found at reference.

Change visibility of the given entities for the given players.

If no players are given, will hide the entities from all online players.

When reveal is used in combination of the hidden players expression and the viewers are not specified, this will default it to the given player in the hidden players expression.

Note: all previously hidden entities (including players) will be visible when a player leaves and rejoins.

Equips or unequips an entity with the given itemtypes (usually armor).

This effect will replace any armor that the entity is already wearing.

Whether the item can be dispensed by a dispenser.

NOTE: Equippable component elements are experimental. Thus, they are subject to change and may not work as intended.

Whether an entity should equip the item when right clicking on the entity with the item.

NOTE: Equippable component elements are experimental. Thus, they are subject to change and may not work as intended.

Whether the item should take damage when the wearer gets injured.

NOTE: Equippable component elements are experimental. Thus, they are subject to change and may not work as intended.

Whether the item can be sheared off of entities.

NOTE: Equippable component elements are experimental. Thus, they are subject to change and may not work as intended.

Whether the item can be swapped by right clicking with it in your hand.

NOTE: Equippable component elements are experimental. Thus, they are subject to change and may not work as intended.

Exits a given amount of loops and conditionals, or the entire trigger.

Expand or shrink the size of a world border.

Using `by` adds/subtracts from the current size of the world border.

Using `to` sets to the specified size.

Starts the explosion process of a creeper or instantly explodes it.

Creates an explosion of a given force. The Minecraft Wiki has an article on explosions which lists the explosion forces of TNT, creepers, etc.

Hint: use a force of 0 to create a fake explosion that does no damage whatsoever, or use the explosion effect introduced in Skript 2.0.

Starting with Bukkit 1.4.5 and Skript 2.0 you can use safe explosions which will damage entities but won't destroy any blocks.

Causes a command to fail execution with an error message displayed to the executor.

Feeds the specified players.

Makes a living entity attack an entity with a melee attack.

Using 'attack' will make the attacker use the item in their main hand and will apply extra data from the item, including enchantments and attributes.

Using 'damage' with a number of hearts will not account for the item in the main hand and will always be the number provided.

Make a panda or horse type (horse, camel, donkey, llama, mule) start/stop eating.

Forces the items to glint or not, or removes its existing enchantment glint enforcement.

Make a panda get on/off its back.

Forces player(s) to respawn if they are dead. If this is called without delay from death event, one tick is waited before respawn attempt.

Generates the loot in the specified inventories from a loot table using a loot context. Not specifying a loot context will use a loot context with a location at the world's origin.

Note that if the inventory is full, it will cause warnings in the console due to over-filling the inventory.

Make a goat have or not have a left, right, or both horns.

Make mobs left or right-handed. This does not affect players.

Hides a player from the hover list and decreases the online players count (only if the player count wasn't changed before).

Lights entities on fire or extinguishes them.

Add an entity into the entity storage of a block (e.g. beehive).

The entity must be of the right type for the block (e.g. bee for beehive).

Due to unstable behavior on older versions, adding entities to an entity storage requires Minecraft version 1.21+.

Prevent a dropped item from naturally despawning through Minecraft's timer.

Show or hide the tooltip of an item.

If changing the 'entire' tooltip of an item, nothing will show up when a player hovers over it.

If changing the 'additional' tooltip, only specific parts (which change per item) will be hidden.

Keeps the inventory or/and experiences of the dead player in a death event.

Kicks a player from the server.

Kills an entity.

Apply the same velocity as a knockback to living entities in a direction. Mechanics such as knockback resistance will be factored in.

Launch firework effects at the given location(s).

Leash entities to other entities, or unleash them.

Most mobs, iron golems, snow golems, and boats can be leashed.

Strike lightning at a given location. Can use 'lightning effect' to create a lightning that does not harm entities or start fires.

Loads server icons from the given files. You can get the loaded icon using the

last loaded server icon expression.

Please note that the image must be 64x64 and the file path starts from the server folder.

Load your worlds or unload your worlds

The load effect will create a new world if world doesn't already exist.

When attempting to load a normal vanilla world you must define it's environment i.e "world_nether" must be loaded with nether environment

Suppresses target warnings from the current script.

Writes text into a .log file. Skript will write these files to /plugins/Skript/logs.

NB: Using 'server.log' as the log file will write to the default server log. Omitting the log file altogether will log the message as '[Skript] [<script>.sk] <message>' in the server log.

Forces the mob(s) or player(s) to look at an entity, vector or location. Vanilla max head pitches range from 10 to 50.

Force a animal to become an adult or baby.

Make an allay duplicate itself.

This effect will always make an allay duplicate regardless of whether the duplicate attribute is disabled.

Sets whether or not entities will be able to breed. Only works on animals.

Make a warden sense a disturbance at a location, causing the warden to investigate that area.

The warden will not investigate if the warden is aggressive towards an entity.

This effect does not add anger to the warden.

Makes the egg hatch in a Player Egg Throw event.

Make a goat or enderman start or stop screaming.

Makes items fire resistant.

Forces a player to start/stop flying.

Make a goat ram an entity.

Ramming does have a cooldown and currently no way to change it.

Sets if an entity's explosion will leave behind fire. This effect is also usable in an explosion prime event.

Makes an interaction either responsive or unresponsive. This determines whether clicking the entity will cause the clicker's arm to swing.

Interactions default to unresponsive.

Makes a living entity visible/invisible. This is not a potion and therefore does not have features such as a time limit or particles.

When setting an entity to invisible while using an invisibility potion on it, the potion will be overridden and when it runs out the entity keeps its invisibility.

Makes an entity invulnerable/not invulnerable.

Make a panda start/stop rolling.

Make a panda start/stop sneezing.

Forces a player to send a message to the chat. If the message starts with a slash it will force the player to use command.

Makes a sign (either a block or item) have glowing text or normal text. If a sign side is not specified, the front side will be used by default.

Sends a message to an audience, such as a player or the console.

Only styles written in given string or in formatted expressions will be parsed.

Grant/revoke a user operator state.

Opens a written book to a player.

Opens an inventory to a player. The player can then access and modify the inventory as if it was a chest that they just opened.

Please note that currently 'show' and 'open' have the same effect, but 'show' will eventually show an unmodifiable view of the inventory in the future.

Open or close the lid of the block(s).

Make an entity pathfind towards a location or another entity. Not all entities can pathfind. If the pathfinding target is another entity, the entities may or may not continuously follow the target.

Make entities, players, or leaves be persistent.

Persistence of entities is whether they are retained through server restarts.

Persistence of leaves is whether they should decay when not connected to a log block within 6 meters.

Persistence of players is if the player's playerdata should be saved when they leave the server. Players' persistence is reset back to 'true' when they join the server.

Passengers inherit the persistence of their vehicle, meaning a persistent zombie put on a non-persistent chicken will become non-persistent. This does not apply to players.

By default, all entities are persistent.

Make an axolotl start or stop playing dead.

Plays or draws a specific effect at a location, to a player, or on an entity.

Effects can be:

* Particles.

* Game effects, which consist of combinations of particles and sounds, like the bone meal particles, the sound of footsteps on a specific block, or the particles and sound of breaking a splash potion.

* Entity effects, which are particles or animations that are entity-specific and can only be played on a compatible entity. For example, the ravager attack animation can be played with this effect.

All effects vary significantly in availability from version to version, and some may simply not function on your version of Minecraft. Some effects, like the death animation entity effect, may cause client glitches and should be used carefully!

Plays a sound at given location for everyone or just for given players, or plays a sound to specified players. Both Minecraft sound names and Spigot sound names are supported. Playing resource pack sounds are supported too. The sound category is 'master' by default.

When running 1.19+, playing a sound from an entity directly will result in the sound coming from said entity, even while moving.

If the sound is custom, a location emitter will follow the entity. Do note that pitch and volume

are reflected based on the entity, and Minecraft may not use the values from this syntax.

Minecraft sometimes has a set of sounds under one sound ID that will randomly play. To counter this, you can directly state which seed to use.

Please note that sound names can get changed in any Minecraft or Spigot version, or even removed from Minecraft itself.

Sets whether all player related information is hidden in the server list.

The Vanilla Minecraft client will display ??? (dark gray) instead of player counts and will not show the

hover hist when hiding player info.

The version string can override the ???.

Also the Online Players Count and

Max Players expressions will return -1 when hiding player info.

Poison or cure an entity. If the entity is already poisoned, the duration may be overwritten.

Modify whether a potion effect is ambient.

That is, whether the potion effect produces more, translucent, particles.

Modify whether a potion effect shows an icon.

Modify whether a potion effect is infinite.

That is, whether the potion effect will ever expire.

Modify whether a potion effect shows particles.

Push entities in a given direction or towards a specific location.

Set the PvP state for a given world.

Registers a new tag containing either items or entity datas. Note that items will NOT keep any information other than their type, so adding `diamond sword named "test"` to a tag is the same as adding `diamond sword`

Item tags should be used for contexts where the item is not placed down, while block tags should be used for contexts where the item is placed. For example, and item tag could be "skript:edible", while a block tag would be "skript:needs_water_above".

All custom tags will be given the namespace "skript", followed by the name you give it. The name must only include the characters A to Z, 0 to 9, and '/', '.', '_', and '-'. Otherwise, the tag will not register.

Please note that two tags can share a name if they are of different types. Registering a new tag of the same name and type will overwrite the existing tag. Tags will reset on server shutdown.

Releases the stored entities in an entity block storage (i.e. beehive).

When using beehives, providing a timespan will prevent the released bees from re-entering the beehive for that amount of time.

Due to unstable behaviour on older versions, this effect requires Minecraft version 1.21+.

Replaces all occurrences of a given text or regex with another text. Please note that you can only change variables and a few expressions, e.g. a message or a line of a sign.

Makes a trigger or a section (e.g. a function) return a value

Causes a bell to ring.

Optionally, the entity that rang the bell and the direction the bell should ring can be specified.

A bell can only ring in two directions, and the direction is determined by which way the bell is facing.

By default, the bell will ring in the direction it is facing.

Rotates displays, quaternions, or vectors around an axis a set amount of degrees, or around all 3 axes at once.

Vectors can only be rotated around the global X/Y/Z axes, or an arbitrary vector axis.

Quaternions are more flexible, allowing rotation around the global or local X/Y/Z axes, arbitrary vectors, or all 3 local axes at once.

Global axes are the ones in the Minecraft world. Local axes are relative to how the quaternion is already oriented.

Rotating a display is a shortcut for rotating its left rotation. If the right rotation needs to be modified, it should be acquired, rotated, and re-set.

Note that rotating a quaternion/display around a vector results in a rotation around the local vector, so results may not be what you expect. For example, rotating quaternions/displays around vector(1, 0, 0) is the same as rotating around the local X axis.

The same applies to rotations by all three axes at once. In addition, rotating around all three axes of a quaternion/display at once will rotate in ZYX order, meaning the Z rotation will be applied first and the X rotation last.

Executes a task (a function). Any returned result is discarded.

Save all worlds or a given world manually.

Note: saving many worlds at once may possibly cause the server to freeze.

Controls how suggestions are filtered for script commands. With no filtering, suggestions are simply displayed as set. With 'starts with' filtering, only suggestions that start with the current input are displayed. With 'contains' filtering, only suggestions that contain the current input are displayed.

Makes a player see a block as something else or as the original.

Request that the player's client download and switch resource packs. The client will download

the resource pack in the background, and will automatically switch to it once the download is complete.

The URL must be a direct download link.

The hash is used for caching, the player won't have to re-download the resource pack that way.

The hash must be SHA-1, you can get SHA-1 hash of your resource pack using

this online tool.

The resource pack request action can be used to check

status of the sent resource pack request.

Shears or un-shears a shearable entity with drops by shearing and a 'sheared' sound. Using with 'force' will force this effect despite the entity's 'shear state'.

Please note that..:

- Force-shearing or un-shearing on a sheared mushroom cow is not possible

Shoots a projectile (or any other entity) from a given entity or location.

Controls whether or not an entity is silent.

Sorts a list variable using either the natural ordering of the contents or the results of the given expression.

Be warned, this will overwrite the indices of the list variable.

When using the full sort %~objects% (by|based on) <expression> pattern,

the input expression can be used to refer to the current item being sorted.

(See input expression for more information.)

Spawns entities. This can be used as an effect and as a section.

If it is used as a section, the section is run before the entity is added to the world.

You can modify the entity in this section, using for example 'event-entity' or 'cow'.

Do note that other event values, such as 'player', won't work in this section.

If you're spawning a display and want it to be empty on initialization, like not having a block display be stone, set hidden config node 'spawn empty displays' to true.

Note that when spawning an entity via entity snapshots, the code within the section will not run instantaneously as compared to spawning normally (via 'a zombie').

Make a player start or stop sprinting.

If the player is not moving when this effect is used, they will be put in sprint mode for a tick and then stopped (this causes the FOV to change). Using it a second time, without the player manually sprinting in between, causes the player to stay in sprint mode, with some quirks.

- Particles may not be produced under the player's feet.

- The player will not exit the sprinting state if they stop moving.

- Restrictions like low hunger will not prevent the player from sprinting

- The player pressing shift will stop them sprinting, and pressing sprint will re-assert normal sprinting behavior

Using this effect two or more consecutive times on a stationary player produces undefined behavior and should not be relied on.

Stops or restarts the server. If restart is used when the restart-script spigot.yml option isn't defined, the server will stop instead.

Stops specific or all sounds from playing to a group of players. Both Minecraft sound names and Spigot sound names are supported. Resource pack sounds are supported too. The sound category is 'master' by default. A sound can't be stopped from a different category.

Please note that sound names can get changed in any Minecraft or Spigot version, or even removed from Minecraft itself.

Make a strider start/stop shivering.

An effect to suppress local variable type hint errors for the syntax lines that follow this effect.

NOTE: Suppressing type hints also prevents syntax from providing new type hints. For example, with type hints suppressed, 'set {_x} to true' would not provide 'boolean' as a type hint for '{_x}'

Makes an entity swing their hand. This does nothing if the entity does not have an animation for swinging their hand.

Tame a tameable entity (horse, parrot, cat, etc.).

Teleport an entity to a specific location.

This effect is delayed by default, as it waits for the chunk of the location to be loaded before teleporting.

The keyword 'force' may be used to bypass this behavior (preventing the delay), but note that it may cause lag spikes or other server performance issues when teleporting to unloaded chunks.

Teleport flags are properties to retain during a teleport, such as direction, passengers, and velocities.

Applies or removes drop shadow from the displayed text on a text display.

Forces a text display to either be or not be visible through blocks.

Clears or resets the title of an audience to the default values.

While both actions remove the title being displayed, reset will also reset the title timings.

Sends a title and/or subtitle to an audience with an optional fade in, stay, and/or fade out time.

If sending only the subtitle, it will only be shown if the audience currently has a title displayed. Otherwise, it will be shown when the audience is next shown a title.

Additionally, if no input is given for the times, the previous times of the last sent title will be used (or default values). Use the reset title effect to restore the default values for the times.
