Lock Down Boss Entities and Prevent Escape

Immobilizing Your Boss

Keep boss entities exactly where you want them during fights or cutscenes.

1. Target your boss with /eca lockLocation <boss> <x y z> to freeze it at specific coordinates

2. The entity cannot move or be pushed away from that position

3. Use /eca setForceLoading <boss> to ensure chunks around the boss stay loaded, preventing despawn

4. Combine with /eca setInvulnerable <boss> if the boss should not take damage during setup phases

Controlling Health and Damage

Manage boss durability independently:

  • Set exact health with /eca setHealth <boss> <amount>
  • Lock max health at a value with /eca lockMaxHealth <boss> <value> so healing effects cannot increase it
  • Prevent all regeneration using /eca banHealing <boss>
  • Force damage onto the boss with /eca hurt <boss> <amount> to bypass resistance mechanics

These tools let you create predictable, scripted boss encounters where positioning and health are guaranteed.
