Background
In Minecraft Java Edition 1.16, 1.17, 1.18, 1.19 and 1.20, the entity value for an ocelot is ocelot
. The ocelot
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 ocelot
). The NBT tag is always surrounded in {} such as {CustomName:”\”Whiskers\””}. If there is more than one NBT tag used in a game command, the NBT tags are separated by a comma such as {CustomName:”\”Whiskers\””, NoAI:1}.

NBT Tag Examples
To summon a baby ocelot:
/summon ocelot ~ ~ ~ {Age:-25000}
To summon a baby ocelot that is named Kitten:
/summon ocelot ~ ~ ~ {CustomName:"\"Kitten\"", Age:-25000}
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=ocelot
value, you can target ocelots:
@e[type=ocelot]
Target Selector Examples
To change the nearest ocelot to a baby ocelot:
/data merge entity @e[type=ocelot,limit=1,sort=nearest] {Age:-25000}
To kill all ocelots:
/kill @e[type=ocelot]
Next, learn how to use the game commands in Minecraft.
