Hello guys and welcome to my blog series on Minecraft Data Tags.
In this series I will go over most of the NBT data tags that are present in Minecraft 1.7.2.
In this episode I will explain to you what are data tags and some basic vocabulary you will need to know on them.
First of all, what are data tags? Data Tags is a NBT-to-command block system that Mojang introduced in Minecraft 1.7 snapshots. They allow you to use the NBT storage system to edit tile entities and items, which means that it can replace Monster Spawners when it comes to editing mobs, and also editing the display settings in items, etc.
So for example, to create a skeleton with specific armor you would have to go on an external editor such as MCEdit to create a monster spawner that would then spawn that mob.
But now you can simply spawn this skeleton using a /summon command with some specified arguments to edit the data tags.
In these tutorials I will go over most of the editings you can make on mobs, items, entities (like FallingSand), etc.
But to continue, you will need some basic knowledge on programming terms, such as String, Integer, etc.
Here is a list of things you might need to know:
What is a String: A String is a chain of characters like letters and numbers that can get displayed with fonts. A String is usually declared between two quotation marks (o o ).
What is an Integer: An integer is simply any non-decimal number that is not very long because it can cause a crash if it is too large. An integer cano t be a letter.
What is a String Array: A String Array is a list of strings. It is usually declared between two square brackets ([ ]) and separates its content with commas.
What is a Long: A Long is a number that can be very long (unlike the Integer).
What is a Double: A Double is a number that must be a decimal.
What is a Tag Compound: A Tag Compound is a list of objects (strings, integers, lists, longs, etc.). It is usually declared between two curly brackets ({ }) and separates its content with commas.
Thanks for reading and I will be posting more in the future. Leave a diamond if you liked it!
You can also add me on Skype if you have any questions.
