This Minecraft tutorial explains the NBT tags (formerly called data tags) that you can use for an endermite in Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.16, 1.17, 1.18, 1.19 and 1.20.

TIP: If you are not running Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.16/1.17/1.18/1.19/1.20, find NBT tags for endermite in another version of Minecraft:

  • Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.14/1.15
  • Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.11/1.12
  • Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.10

Background

In Minecraft Java Edition 1.16, 1.17, 1.18, 1.19 and 1.20, the entity value for an endermite is endermite. The endermite entity has a unique set of data tags that can be used in Minecraft commands such as: /summon and /data.

What are NBT tags (formerly called Data Tags)?

NBT tags allow you to set certain properties of an entity (such as endermite). The NBT tag is always surrounded in {} such as {CustomName:”\”Endie\””}. If there is more than one NBT tag used in a game command, the NBT tags are separated by a comma such as {CustomName:”\”Endie\””, Health:8.0f}.

NBT Tag Examples

To summon an endermite with a custom name of Endie:

/summon endermite ~ ~ ~ {CustomName:"\"Endie\""}

To summon an endermite that is named Endie with no artificial intelligence:

/summon endermite ~ ~ ~ {CustomName:"\"Endie\"", NoAI:1}

Target Selectors

Before we finish discussing data tags, let’s quickly explore how to use the @e target selector. The @e target selector allows you to target entities in your commands. If you use the type=endermite value, you can target endermites:

@e[type=endermite]

Target Selector Examples

To change the nearest endermite to have 25 health points:

/data merge entity @e[type=endermite,limit=1,sort=nearest] {Health:25.0f}

To kill all endermites:

/kill @e[type=endermite]

Next, learn how to use the game commands in Minecraft.
