How do i get my custom mob to drop items with lores and have 2 diffrent attributes? (Minecraft 1.16.4 java)

Im making a boss type of a mob in my server and i couldnt find how to make a mob drop items with lores and 2 attributes. ( i need an illusioner to drop a skeleton head that is named "skull of the chosen) has a lore (Potassium) and has attributes (8 max_health, 3.1 attack_damage)) pls help

Solution 1:

You can modify the mob's DeathLootTable NBT to reference a custom loot table. Inside that loot table, you can then use the minecraft:set_attributes, minecraft:set_name and minecraft:set_lore item modifiers to apply attribute modifiers and change the name and lore of the skull item.

Here's an example: let's say that you have a loot table named boss_mob.json inside your data/example/loot_tables/entities folder (you would refer to the loot table as example:entities/boss_mob), and that your mob (in this case, an illusioner) has the example.boss_mob tag (either added by the /tag command or the Tags NBT)

Here's how the setup would look like:

(the command to modify the DeathLootTable NBT of all the entities that have the example.boss_mob tag)

execute as @e[tag = example.boss_mob] run data modify entity @s DeathLootTable set value "example:entities/boss_mob"

(the contents of the data/example/loot_tables/entities/boss_mob.json loot table)
