/health

/health (add|remove) <value> [<source>]

A command that allows mapmakers to add or remove a specific amount of health from players and entities, without having to rely on arrows or status effects to do so.

    This would be very useful!

    this is a good idea, but I would rather have it implemented differently -

    add and remove sub-commands should be merged into a single one called 'modify' where positive values will heal the entity while negative ones will damage them . Another sub-command should be added called 'set' which would set the the health to provided value, setting health to negative or 0 will kill the entity.

    as for the source, I think it should be the scoreboard from an entity.

    To clarify, this what the syntax is in my head:

    /health <targetEntity> (modify|set) ...
    	...value <value>
    	...from <sourceEntity> <scoreboardObjective>

    Some examples:

    • To bring everyone to half a heart: /health @a set 1
    • To damage someone in boss battle: /health @s modify from @e[tag=boss, limit=1] strength

    YES! This would save so many headaches and inconsistencies. Make it happen!

    I like this implementation, like really like this implementation, the only change i would personally make would be to replace the word "modify" with "add", solely for readability reasons. otherwise, i think this is the best version of this command that i've seen on here.

    They should also do the same with the hunger bar, with /hunger or something like that. It would revolutionize map-making, pranks, and just multiplayer as a whole. Please add these to Minecraft, Mojang!
