Similar to how the repair pack can apply an effect to damaged buildings (entities) (I am unsure how this is done), I would like an item that I can use on entities which will apply an effect of my creation. Yet I can not seem to be able to do this with the 0.13.17 defined events. My only other option is to make my item an entity so I can use on_built_entity. Am I missing something or should I just make the entity?

You can use on_put_item.

oh, yes that is a way to do it. I don't know how I didn't see that. I should be able to do something similar for my needs. thanks

You've just solved a road block I was having in one of my in-development mods. Thanks Supercheese!
