Description
11th Aug 2023: I am taking a break from modding. I will be back, but not sure when. I will still try to respond to comments when I can.
What is Data Attributes?
Data Attributes is a Minecraft mod, initially released for Minecraft 1.17.1 using the Fabric ecosystem. The mod does two things: overhauls Minecraft's entity attribute system to be more dynamic and to include follow on attributes (something found in many other games); and exposes entity attributes to datapack manipulation - allowing servers/pack makers easy customisation of every aspect of the entity attribute system.
Why
Originally, Data Attributes existed as part of the PlayerEx mod. However, the system implemented in 1.16.5 was the "first draft", and was clunky and badly optimised (not to mention full of bugs). My mod group and I wanted to use this datapack attributes system as part of some other mods that we were working on, so I developed this as a more robust and standalone project.
Usage
By itself, this mod adds no in-game content. It simply allows entity attributes to be customised/added using datapacks. Please read the wiki before using the mod.
Notice
Data Attributes is not compatible with AttributeFix - they have the same capabilities!
