Examples:
spawn 5 creepers behind the player
Experience 🔗
| Patterns: |

Inventory 🔗
| Patterns: | |
| Since: | 1.0 |
An inventory of a player or block. Inventories have many effects and conditions regarding the items contained. An inventory has a fixed amount of slots which represent a specific place in the inventory, e.g. the helmet slot for players (Please note that slot support is still very limited but will be improved eventually).
Examples:
Inventory Action 🔗
| Patterns: |
|
| Since: | 2.2-dev16 |
What player just did in inventory event. Note that when in creative game mode, most actions do not work correctly.
Examples:
Inventory Slot 🔗
| Patterns: | |
| Since: |
Represents a single slot of an inventory. Notable slots are the armour slots and furnace slots. The most important property that distinguishes a slot from an item is its ability to be changed, e.g. it can be set, deleted, enchanted, etc. (Some item expressions can be changed as well, e.g. items stored in variables. For that matter: slots are never saved to variables, only the items they represent at the time when the variable is set). Please note that tool can be regarded a slot, but it can actually change it's position, i.e. doesn't represent always the same slot.
Examples:
set tool of player to dirt
delete helmet of the victim
set the colour of the player's tool to green
enchant the player's chestplate with projectile protection 5
delete helmet of the victim
set the colour of the player's tool to green
enchant the player's chestplate with projectile protection 5
Inventory Type 🔗
| Patterns: |
|
| Since: | 2.2-dev32 |
Minecraft has several different inventory types with their own use cases.
Examples:
Item / Material 🔗
| Patterns: |
|
| Since: | 1.0 |
An item, e.g. a stack of torches, a furnace, or a wooden sword of sharpness 2. Unlike item type an item can only represent exactly one item (e.g. an upside-down cobblestone stair facing west), while an item type can represent a whole range of items (e.g. any cobble stone stairs regardless of direction). You don't usually need this type except when you want to make a command that only accepts an exact item. Please note that currently 'material' is exactly the same as 'item', i.e. can have an amount & enchantments.
Examples:
set {_item} to type of the targeted block
{_item} is a torch
{_item} is a torch
Item Type 🔗
| Patterns: |
|
| Since: | 1.0 |
An item type is an alias, e.g. 'a pickaxe', 'all plants', etc., and can result in different items when added to an inventory, and unlike items they are well suited for checking whether an inventory contains a certain item or whether a certain item is of a certain type. An item type can also have one or more enchantments with or without a specific level defined, and can optionally start with 'all' or 'every' to make this item type represent all types that the alias represents, including data ranges.
Examples:
give 4 torches to the player
add all slabs to the inventory of the block
player's tool is a diamond sword of sharpness
remove a pickaxes of fortune 4 from {stored items::*}
set {_item} to 10 of every upside-down stair
block is dirt or farmland
add all slabs to the inventory of the block
player's tool is a diamond sword of sharpness
remove a pickaxes of fortune 4 from {stored items::*}
set {_item} to 10 of every upside-down stair
block is dirt or farmland
Living Entity 🔗
| Patterns: |
|
| Since: | 1.0 |
Examples:
spawn 5 powered creepers
shoot a zombie from the creeper
shoot a zombie from the creeper
Location 🔗
| Patterns: | |
| Since: | 1.0 |
A location in a world. Locations are world-specific and even store a direction, e.g. if you save a location and later teleport to it you will face the exact same direction you did when you saved the location.
Examples:
Metadata Holder 🔗
| Patterns: | |
| Since: | 2.2-dev36 |
Something that can hold metadata (e.g. an entity or block)
Examples:
set metadata value "super cool" of player to true
Money 🔗
| Patterns: |
|
| Since: | 2.0 |
A certain amount of money. Please note that this differs from numbers as it includes a currency symbol or name, but usually the two are interchangeable, e.g. you can both
add 100$ to the player's balance and add 100 to the player's balance. Examples:
add 10£ to the player's account
remove Fr. 9.95 from the player's money
set the victim's money to 0
increase the attacker's balance by the level of the victim * 100
remove Fr. 9.95 from the player's money
set the victim's money to 0
increase the attacker's balance by the level of the victim * 100
Number 🔗
| Patterns: |
|
| Since: | 1.0 |
A number, e.g. 2.5, 3, or -9812454. Please note that many expressions only need integers, i.e. will discard any frational parts of any numbers without producing an error.
Examples:
set the player's health to 5.5
set {_temp} to 2*{_temp} - 2.5
set {_temp} to 2*{_temp} - 2.5
Object 🔗
| Patterns: | |
| Since: | 1.0 |
The supertype of all types, meaning that if %object% is used in e.g. a condition it will accept all kinds of expressions.
Examples:
Offlineplayer 🔗
| Patterns: | |
| Since: |
A player that is possibly offline. See player for more information. Please note that while all effects and conditions that require a player can be used with an offline player as well, they will not work if the player is not actually online.
Examples:
Player 🔗
| Patterns: | |
| Since: | 1.0 |
A player. Depending on whether a player is online or offline several actions can be performed with them, though you won't get any errors when using effects that only work if the player is online (e.g. changing his inventory) on an offline player. You have two possibilities to use players as command arguments: <player> and <offline player>. The first requires that the player is online and also accepts only part of the name, while the latter doesn't require that the player is online, but the player's name has to be entered exactly.
Examples:
Potion Effect Type 🔗
| Patterns: |
|
| Since: |
A potion effect type, e.g. 'strength' or 'swiftness'.
Examples:
apply swiftness 5 to the player
apply potion of speed 2 to the player for 60 seconds

Region 🔗
| Patterns: |
|
| Since: | 2.1 |
A region of a regions plugin. Skript currently supports WorldGuard, Factions, GriefPrevention and PreciousStones. Please note that some regions plugins do not have named regions, some use numerical ids to identify regions, and some may have regions with the same name in different worlds, thus using regions like "region name" in scripts may or may not work.
Examples:
Server Icon 🔗
Spawn Reason 🔗
| Patterns: | |
| Since: | 2.3 |
The spawn reason in a spawn event.
Examples:
natural, jockey, chunk generation, mob spawner, egg, spawn egg, lightning, built snowman, built iron golem, built wither, village defense, village invasion, breed, slime split, reinforcements, nether portal, dispense egg, infection, cured, ocelot baby, silverfish reveal, mount, trap, ender pearl, perching, drowned, shear, customized, default

Text 🔗
| Patterns: |
|
| Since: | 1.0 |
Text is simply text, i.e. a sequence of characters, which can optionally contain expressions which will be replaced with a meaningful representation (e.g. %player% will be replaced with the player's name). Because scripts are also text, you have to put text into double quotes to tell Skript which part of the line is an effect/expression and which part is the text. Please read the article on Texts and Variable Names to learn more.
Examples:
broadcast "Hello World!"
message "Hello %player%"
message "The id of ""%type of tool%"" is %id of tool%."
message "Hello %player%"
message "The id of ""%type of tool%"" is %id of tool%."
Time 🔗
| Patterns: |
|
| Since: | 1.0 |
A time is a point in a minecraft day's time (i.e. ranges from 0:00 to 23:59), which can vary per world. See date and timespan for the other time types of Skript.
Examples:
at 20:00:
time is 8 pm
broadcast "It's %time%"
time is 8 pm
broadcast "It's %time%"
Timeperiod 🔗
| Patterns: |
|
| Since: | 1.0 |
A period of time between two times. Mostly useful since you can use this to test for whether it's day, night, dusk or dawn in a specific world. This type might be removed in the future as you can use 'time of world is between x and y' as a replacement.
Examples:
time in world is night
Timespan 🔗
| Patterns: |
|
| Since: | 1.0 |
A timespan is a difference of two different dates or times, e.g '10 minutes'. Timespans are always displayed as real life time, but can be defined as minecraft time, e.g. '5 minecraft days and 12 hours'. See date and time for the other time types of Skript.
Examples:
every 5 minecraft days:
wait a minecraft second and 5 ticks
every 10 mc days and 12 hours:
halt for 12.7 irl minutes, 12 hours and 120.5 seconds
wait a minecraft second and 5 ticks
every 10 mc days and 12 hours:
halt for 12.7 irl minutes, 12 hours and 120.5 seconds
Tree Type 🔗
| Patterns: |
|
| Since: |

Examples:
{variable} is a number # check whether the variable contains a number, e.g. -1 or 5.5
{variable} is a type # check whether the variable contains a type, e.g. number or player
{variable} is an object # will always succeed if the variable is set as everything is an object, even types.
disable PvP in the event-world
kill the loop-entity
{variable} is a type # check whether the variable contains a type, e.g. number or player
{variable} is an object # will always succeed if the variable is set as everything is an object, even types.
disable PvP in the event-world

World 🔗
| Patterns: |
|
| Since: | 1.0, 2.2 (alternate syntax) |
One of the server's worlds. Worlds can be put into scripts by surrounding their name with double quotes, e.g. "world_nether", but this might not work reliably as text uses the same syntax.
Examples:
broadcast "Hello!" to the world "world_nether"
