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=husk
value, you can target husks:
@e[type=husk]
Target Selector Examples
To change the nearest husk to a baby husk:
/data merge entity @e[type=husk,limit=1,sort=nearest] {IsBaby:1}
To kill all husks:
/kill @e[type=husk]
