Entity Documentation - minecraft:shooter

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

Note

Ammunition used by minecraft:shooter must have the minecraft:projectile component in order to function properly.

Note

Expanded in 1.19.60: the projectiles list can now specify multiple projectile definitions with condition filters, and power, magic, and sound are exposed for per-shooter customization.
