String Variables

String Variables are primarily used in Message Routines. Many of the {variable}_types can even be changed with a TypeName alias. See: FAQ: Is it possible to make custom Death messages?.

• {item}_type - For example player_wielded_type Returns a Bukkit Enum unless aliased by TypeNames.
• {entity}_type - For example attacker_type, among many possible results.
• damage_type - Because non-entity damage sources require a different format.
• heal_type - Checks for the source whenever an entity gains health.
• {entity}_name - The name of the player referenced, if applicable.
• {entity}_owner - Only applicable to Ocelots and Tamed_wolves.
• {entity}_target - The entity Name (or if no name, the Type) of the entity being chased/attacked by the {entity}.
• {entity}_passenger - Returns any entity riding on another, such as a boat passenger.
• {entity}_rider - For any entity that has a passenger, for example minecarts or spiderJockeys.
• {entity}_world - Gives the world name based on where the event occurred.
• {cause} - Gives the cause of an event, such as Teleport
• {spawn_reason} - Gives the cause of the Spawn Event
• {entity}_tags - A list of all integer tags on the entity.
• {player}_displayname
• {player}_listname
• {block}_line({integer}) - The exact string on that sign, at line number {number}.

Relevant

All Integer Variables are also usable in the same way, but will (as expected) show a number, not a word.
