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

Background

In Minecraft Java Edition 1.16, 1.17, 1.18, 1.19 and 1.20, the entity value for a zoglin is zoglin. The zoglin 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 zoglin). The NBT tag is always surrounded in {} such as {CustomName:”\”Tusks\””}. If there is more than one NBT tag used in a game command, the NBT tags are separated by a comma such as {CustomName:”\”Tusks\””, Health:50.0f}.

To summon a zoglin that is named Tusks:

/summon zoglin ~ ~ ~ {CustomName:"\"Tusks\""}

To summon a baby zoglin:

/summon zoglin ~ ~ ~ {IsBaby: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=zoglin value, you can target zoglins:

@e[type=zoglin]

Target Selector Examples

To change the name of the nearest zoglin to Tusks:

/data merge entity @e[type=zoglin,limit=1,sort=nearest] {CustomName:"\"Tusks\""}

To kill all zoglins:

/kill @e[type=zoglin]

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