AoE cleave

A weapon that hits everything near your target, not just the one you swung at. This recipe shows the key idea of selectors — who: decides who an effect lands on, and @Aoe{r=N} means "every living entity within N blocks."

How it works​

  • DAMAGE deals a flat amount of extra damage.
  • who: "@Aoe{r=4}" redirects it from the default single victim to everyone within 4 blocks of the target (excluding you). The radius grows with level.
  • The @Aoe selector can also filter and cap targets — see below.

Variations​

  • Only hit monsters, cap at 5 targets:

    - { DAMAGE: { amount: 4, who: "@Aoe{r=5, filter=MONSTERS, limit=5}" } }

  • Stun the crowd instead of damaging it:

    - { POTION: { effect: SLOWNESS, level: 2, duration: 60, who: "@Aoe{r=4}" } }

  • Spare the one you actually swung at — hit only the crowd around them:

    - { DAMAGE: { amount: 4, who: "@Aoe{r=5, exclude=victim}" } }

See the @Aoe selector for filter (ALL / PLAYERS / MONSTERS / MOBS / ENEMIES / ALLIES), limit, and exclude (none — the default — or victim, which removes the combat victim from the matches).
