Minecraft Java Edition – Troubleshooting Scoreboard Criteria for Damage Dealt Absorbed Not Working

minecraft-commandsminecraft-java-edition

So, i set up the scoreboard with criteria minecraft.custom:minecraft.damage_dealt_absorbed and set it to my sidebar. Then, I hit my friend that have absorption effect active on him. I expected the score to go up but nothing actually happens. Is it a bug or did I do something wrong? Besides, how can I detect when a player with absorption effect takes damage.

It does appear that this is due to a bug.

I don't know if there's an alternative, but it may be possible to run a function, when a player takes any kind of damage, and then check if the player has absorbtion.
