Hi all,

Minecraft 1.21 messed our commands up.

I'm in Java and currently trying to figure out a way to test if a player is wearing armor with any level of the protection enchantment using the "/execute if items" command.

Currently, I have this:

/execute if items entity @s armor.* *[minecraft:enchantments={levels:{"minecraft:protection":4}}]

This test will pass if the player is wearing any armor with Protection 4 on it. However, I need a way to test if the player has ANY level of protection, not just 4.

Any advice/answers are greatly appreciated!

Edit: I am doing this in a datapack, so predicate suggestions also work!

I ended up figuring this out through this predicate generator!

https://misode.github.io/predicate/

Here is the predicate:

{
  "condition": "minecraft:entity_properties",
  "entity": "this",
  "predicate": {
    "slots": {
      "armor.*": {
        "predicates": {
          "minecraft:enchantments": [
            {
              "enchantments": "minecraft:protection",
              "levels": {
                "min": 1,
                "max": 255
              }
            }
          ]
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

When run, this predicate will detect if the target is wearing any armor with any level of protection.

Figured I would leave this up if anyone else was struggling with the same issue.
