Prevent certain mobs from picking up items/blocks

[prime swift]

I have created the following script in an attempt to prevent certain mobs from picking up items/blocks after looking through the discord server and google for similar goals:

    let entity = event.entity;
    if (entity.type == 'minecraft:zombie' || entity.type == 'minecraft:skeleton' || entity.type == 'minecraft:enderman'){
        console.log("value changed")
    entity.setCanPickUpLoot(false)}
    else {
    console.log("value unchanged")}
});```
I can see my logs working correctly, but Endermen can still pick up blocks and I can't figure out a way to test is the nbt value is being applied to any of the entities. I would appreciate some insight on this, thanks!

Is there a separate rule I need to use to prevent the block picking up? And is there a good way to test is spawned mobs are having that modifier applied correctly?

endermen picking up nearby blocks is a goal, not an nbt field, you can remove it with EntityJs goal event js const EndermanTakeBlockGoal = Java.loadClass("net.minecraft.world.entity.monster.EnderMan$EndermanTakeBlockGoal") EntityJSEvents.addGoalSelectors("minecraft:enderman", event => { event.removeGoal(EndermanTakeBlockGoal) })

Cool, thanks! I'll take a look at this. Would the picking up of items for mobs such as zombies and skeletons be done better using entityjs as well?

for those you should stick to what you have, the enderman take goal and the zombies picking up armor are 2 entirely seperate things

works! thanks so much for your help
