How to trigger buffs when hitting mobs

[kindred trail]

I just started taking an interest in creating my own addons, and wanted to do first an axe that would grant a Strength buff for 5 seconds everytime I hit any mob.

I've followed a tutorial for this but AI kept telling me that placing events inside an item is already deprecated. And following what AI told me to do isn't really working for me.

I have tried, calling the event from my axe json.
"minecraft:weapon": {
"on_hit": {
"event": "minecraft:apply_veilbreaker_buff"
}

And defining that event from the player json which is like:

"minecraft:apply_veilbreaker_buff": {
"run_command": {
"command": [
"effect @s strength 5 5"
]
}
}

And I have been reading from bedrock.dev, wiki.bedrock.dev, even the Minecraft section on learn.microsoft but I haven't found anything regarding, "on_hit" component.

You are right events are deprecated in the items and has been mostly replaced by scripts

Also is the white background on the axe intended?

Can you point me to any tutorials or website that I can maybe dive into that would help with this?

Also the white background on the axe was an accident 🤣 looked funny so I decided not to fix it yet.

I usually take a look into Microsoft learn (can't send the link right now so...) because with scripts I am a beginner myself (but maybe someone else has a better website or tutorial for you)

These are the links I tend to send for those who are new to scripting https://wiki.bedrock.dev/scripting/api-modules
https://wiki.bedrock.dev/scripting/resources
