Conditional crit (executioner)

An execution enchant: extra damage, but only when the victim is near death. This recipe shows conditions — a boolean gate that must pass before the effects run.

# content/enchants/executioner.yml
tier: mythic
display: "&4&lExecutioner"
description: "Execute foes who are near death."
trigger: ATTACK
applies-to: [SWORD, AXE]
group: combat
levels:
  1:
    chance: 30
    condition: "%victim.health% < 4"
    effects:
      - { DAMAGE_MOD: { side: attack, mode: flat, amount: 4 } }
      - { PARTICLE: { particle: CRIT, count: 10 } }
  2:
    chance: 40
    condition: "%victim.health% < 5"
    effects:
      - { DAMAGE_MOD: { side: attack, mode: flat, amount: 6 } }
      - { PARTICLE: { particle: CRIT, count: 14 } }
  3:
    chance: 50
    cooldown: 0
    condition: "%victim.health% < 6"
    effects:
      - { DAMAGE_MOD: { side: attack, mode: flat, amount: 8 } }
      - { PARTICLE: { particle: CRIT, count: 18 } }
      - { MESSAGE: { text: "&4&lExecuted!" } }

How it works

• condition: "%victim.health% < 4" gates the whole activation. If the victim has 4 or more health, the enchant does nothing — no roll, no effects.
• DAMAGE_MOD with side: attack, mode: flat adds raw damage to this hit (the damage fold). Use mode: add for a percent boost instead of a flat amount.
• The health threshold and bonus both climb with level.

Conditions in depth

A condition is a boolean over %scope.name% variables, combined with && || ! ( ) and operators like < > == != contains:

condition: "%victim.health% < 6 && %onground%"          # wounded AND you're grounded
condition: "%victim.helditem% contains \"SWORD\""       # victim is holding a sword

A condition can also end in a flow clause to nudge the activation instead of just gating it:

condition: "%sneaking% : %force%"        # force the crit while sneaking
condition: "%victim.health% < 8 : +20 %chance%"   # +20% chance vs. wounded foes

See the conditions reference for every variable, operator, and flow clause (%stop%, %force%, %allow%, ±N %chance%).
