This attribute is only available in newer MM 5.0 builds.
All available damage causes can be found on [spigot javadocs](https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/entity/EntityDamageEvent.DamageCause.html)
Note: Only `entity_attack`, `entity_sweep_attack`, `thorns`, `sonic_boom`, `entity_explosion`, and `projectile` will return an entity damager,
meaning that `<trigger.name>` will not return "Unknown".
### Element Attribute
As seen above, the damage mechanic offers the ability to set an "element" for the damage, like so:
```yaml
-damage{amount=10;element=FIRE} @target ~onUse
-damage{amount=10;element=ICE} @target ~onUse
```
This element can be named anything, and can be used in a mob's DamageModifiers to alter resistance to the damage type as needed:
```yaml
DamageModTest:
Type:COW
DamageModifiers:
-LIGHTNING 0.1
-FIRE 2.0
-AIR 1.0
-ICE 0.5
Skills:
-message{m="Damaged by <skill.var.damage-type> for <skill.var.damage-amount>"} @PIR{r=50} ~onDamaged
```
These options can also be used in the "onDamaged" aura, using the `damageMods="FIRE 0.5"` attribute.
### Tags Attribute
```yaml
-damage{amount=5;tags=WITCHCURSE,FIRE}
```
This allows you to set any tag you want on this type of damage to be used with the [DamageTag](/skills/conditions/damagetag) condition.
Tags are arbitrary, and can thus have any name, as long as that does not contain invalid characters.
You can set an indefinite number of tags for each damage mechanic.
