====== minecraft:damage_item ======
The ''minecraft:damage_item'' action damages the item stack in the context by the amount given.
Note that this is different from the [[mc>Item_modifier#function_set_damage|minecraft:set_damage]] item modifier, as this actually breaks the item stack once fully damaged and takes into account preserved items and the [[mc>Unbreaking]] enchantment.
It also calls the [[mc>Advancement/JSON_format#minecraft:item_durability_changed|minecraft:item_durability_changed]] advancement trigger.
This action is unsuccessful if the item stack is empty or is not damageable.
