Minecraft:Commands/kill

Kills and removes entities (players, mobs, items, etc.).

Usage

Directly kills living targets compulsorily (directly removes the entity) and prompts Template:Cd, or Template:Cd if multiple entities are killed, which is irrespective of any of the targeted mob(s)' protective effects (Minecraft:armor, Minecraft:Protection, and Minecraft:Resistance). However, the damage can be adjusted by the Minecraft:ender dragon. Minecraft:Totems of undying can't be triggered when their owner(s) die(s) because of this command.

When the command kills mob(s), it issues the appropriate Minecraft:death message. Players and mobs killed this way drop loot, and Minecraft:slimes, Minecraft:magma cubes, and Minecraft:sulfur cubes that are not of minimum size spawn smaller ones. Non-mob entities disappear if they are targeted.

Template:IN, Minecraft:ender dragons killed by this command will skip their death animation and immediately open the Minecraft:exit portal.

Template:IN, players in Minecraft:Creative mode cannot be killed using this command.
