Java Edition exclusive (added in 1.19.4). The damage amount is a non-negative float. The damageType must be a registered damage type resource location (e.g. minecraft:fall, minecraft:magic, minecraft:player_attack, minecraft:sonic_boom, minecraft:mace_smash). If the damage type is omitted, minecraft:generic is used. Damage bypasses godmode and absorption can still apply depending on type.
