```
public interface DamageSource
```
Represents a Cause for damage on the Entity being damaged. Usually the DamageSource will have different properties based on the source of damage, such as EntityDamageSources, BlockDamageSources, and FallingBlockDamageSources.
Almost always, the DamageSource will be the first element in the Cause of the event. Any additional modifiers that "aid" the Cause of the event will be listed subsequently.
