ability <player: target> [ability: Ability]

player: target: CommandSelector<Player>

Specifies the target for which to grant/revoke/query the ability.

ability: Ability: enum

Specifies the player ability.

These abilities are:

• worldbuilder gives the selector the ability to become a world builder. This allows the player to build - even in Adventure mode.
• mayfly lets the selector fly as if they were in Creative mode.
• mute mutes the selector. If they chat, no one can hear (or see) their message.

value: Boolean: enum

Specifies the value to set the ability to, must be either true or false. If not specified, returns the current ability's value.

Fails if the arguments are not specified correctly.

On success, sets the player ability into the specified ability. If value: Boolean is not specified, returns whether the player has the specified ability. If ability: Ability is not specified, returns what abilities the player has.
