NBT tags allow for the specification of items and entities created through the /give and /summon commands. Each tag follows the format of :, where the tag describes its purpose and the value represents its application. Multiple tags can be included by separating them with commas. For instance, {CustomName:'”Bob”‘, Invisible:true} demonstrates the usage of two tags. List tags are denoted by square brackets [], while Compound tags are enclosed in curly brackets {} – it is important to note that the entire data tag is itself a Compound tag (all within a set of {}). Tag names are case-sensitive, and white space is disregarded. Moreover, certain tags that can only be either true or false are stored as Byte tags, as illustrated by the example {NoAI:1b}.

Players can effortlessly discover NBT data tags without relying on external editors by utilizing the /data command to decipher the data associated with every entity or block entity. Additional details regarding this can be found in the informative article on Commands/data.

Utilizing the tag name “None” indicates the ability to seamlessly incorporate the tag at the onset of the dataTag.

Input: These items are versatile and can be utilized in various command functions like /give, /item, and /clear. However, for more complex commands like /summon and /setblock, it is recommended to enclose them within a tag.

Example:.

{Id:”minecraft:stone”,Count:3b, …, Tag:{Name:'{“text”:”Enter an Epic Name”}’, …}}.

The possibilities are endless with these versatile tags that can be applied to any object.

HideFlags Used to hide flags (the info in the tool tip) such as enchantments, CanDestroy, CanPlaceOn, etc.

To hide multiple tags, you need to add the value of the tags you want to hide. For example, if you want to hide the “Enchantments” and the “Attributes modifiers” tags, the value you need to put is 3 (1+2).

ArmorDropChances Determines how likely it is for an entity to drop worn Items. The tag Count in the equipment tag must be 1 or greater for this to work. 4 separate float values, one for each slot. 0.0-1.0 determines likelihood of dropping, but applies a random durability if it does.
