BeforeLivingEntityDeathEvent

Represents an event triggered right before a living entity dies, giving access to the entity and the cause of death. This event can be canceled to prevent the entity from dying.

Note: In vanilla Minecraft, death occurs when entity.health <= 0 is detected each tick. Canceling this event alone does not prevent the death — the interceptor is expected to take action (e.g., restore health).

Example

local i = spell:intercept({"BeforeLivingEntityDeathEvent"}, function(evt)
  if evt.entity.type.id == "zombie" then
    evt.entity.health = 1  -- Prevents death by restoring health
    return false           -- Cancel the death event
  end
  return true              -- Allow death to proceed
end)

while true do sleep(20) end  -- Keep the spell active
