AttributeManager

A Paper plugin for easily modifying entity attributes in a controlled manner. Allows server admins to set per-entity or server-wide global attribute values, with values persisting across player reconnects.

Commands

Each enabled attribute registers its own command based on the attribute name (e.g. scale, max_health → /max_health).

/<attribute> <selector|global> <set|reset> [value]

Form	Description
/<attribute> <selector> set <value>	Sets the attribute to value for all matched entities
/<attribute> <selector> reset	Resets the attribute to its default (or global value if one is active) for matched entities
/<attribute> global set <value>	Sets a server-wide default applied to all online players and any player who joins
/<attribute> global reset	Clears the global default, restoring per-entity overrides or Minecraft defaults on join

<selector> accepts any valid Minecraft entity selector, e.g. @a, @p, PlayerName, @e[type=zombie].

Examples

/scale global set 0.5
/max_health @a set 40
/movement_speed PlayerName reset
/scale global reset

Permissions

Each attribute command has its own permission node:

attributemanager.command.<attribute_key>

The <attribute_key> is the full Minecraft namespaced key value of the attribute, e.g.:

Command	Permission
/scale	attributemanager.command.generic.scale
/max_health	attributemanager.command.generic.max_health
/movement_speed	attributemanager.command.generic.movement_speed

Enabling attributes

Each attribute is disabled by default. Set an attribute to true to register its command. A server restart is required after changing these.

How global vs. per-entity values interact

• global set applies a value to all currently online players and stores it as the server default for new joins.
• <selector> set stores a per-entity override on top of the global value.
• <selector> reset removes the per-entity override; the player reverts to the global value (if active) or the Minecraft default.
• global reset clears the global default; players with a per-entity override keep it, others revert to the Minecraft default.
• Values are applied again on player join, so they survive disconnects.
