Class EntityHealthComponent

Defines the health properties of an entity.

Example: applyDamageThenHeal.ts

// A function that applies damage and then heals the entity
import { Entity, EntityComponentTypes, system, world } from '@minecraft/server';

function applyDamageAndHeal(entity: Entity) {
    entity.applyDamage(19); // Many mobs have max damage of 20 so this is a near-death mob

    system.runTimeout(() => {
        const health = entity.getComponent(EntityComponentTypes.Health);
        if (health) {
            world.sendMessage(`Entity health before heal: ${health.currentValue}`);

            health.resetToMaxValue();

            world.sendMessage(`Entity after before heal: ${health.currentValue}`);
        } else {
            console.warn('Entity does not have health component');
        }
    }, 40); // Run in a few seconds (40 ticks)
}

Example: healthDisplay.js

import { system, world } from "@minecraft/server";

system.runInterval(() => {
    const players = world.getPlayers();
    for (const player of players) {
        const health = player.getComponent("health");
        player.onScreenDisplay.setActionBar(
            `Health: ${health.currentValue} / ${health.effectiveMax}`
        );
    }
});
