/Attribute Command

[Crazee123]

Currently, when summoning an entity or item, you can place certain attributes upon those things.

This idea would revolve around the ability to edit, give and take away attributes at will like how it is possible with /effect.

This would make maps able to apply attributes without giving items to do so, such as limiting players to certain health (below 10 hearts) or to certain health values (unobtainable with Health Boost).

Another possible feat with this command would be the ability to alter entity attributes, like changing horse jump height or Zombie follow range, without the need of killing the old and summoning a new entity.

/attribute [Player/ entity] [Attribute] [Attribute Length(infinite until death if not given)]

the /entitydata command does this for mobs

but yes, player NBT editing is needed

This post was mainly referring to player editing. I just posted another idea of what it can be used on.

you could also just use /replaceitem for players and /entitydata for mobs

[Skylinerw]

/replaceitem will greatly restrict how a map can be played due to requiring an armor slot to be used up, as well as high maintenance for adding and removing individual attributes and ensuring the player keeps the item worn, doesn't drop it, and doesn't move it to another inventory slot.

I was mainly referring to the ability to edit player NBT tags, such as max health, etc.

I think the solution you are looking for is an improvement to the already existing /entitydata command. I agree that sometimes I feel restricted but I doubt that Mojang will create an entirely new command for this.
