Entity Documentation - minecraft:shooter (Entity)

minecraft:shooter defines the entity's ranged attack behavior. The "minecraft:behavior.ranged_attack" goal uses this component to determine which projectiles to shoot.

Parameters

Name	Default Value	Type	Description
aux_val	-1	Integer	ID of the Potion effect for the default projectile to be applied on hit
def	not set	String	Actor definition to use as projectile for the ranged attack. The entity definition must have the projectile component to be able to be shot as a projectile
magic	False	Boolean	Sets whether the projectiles being used are flagged as magic. If set, the ranged attack goal will not be used at the same time as other magic goals, such as minecraft:behavior.drink_potion
power	0.00	Decimal	Velocity in which the projectiles will be shot. A power of 0 will be overwritten by the default projectile throw power.
projectiles	--	List	List of projectiles that can be used by the shooter. Projectiles are evaluated in the order of the list; after a projectile is chosen, the rest of the list is ignored.
sound	--	String	Sound that is played when the shooter shoots a projectile.
