What are NBT tags (formerly called Data Tags)?

NBT tags allow you to set certain properties of an entity (such as bee). The NBT tag is always surrounded in {} such as {CustomName:”\”Buzzy\””}. If there is more than one NBT tag used in a game command, the NBT tags are separated by a comma such as {CustomName:”\”Buzzy\””, Age:-25000}.

Target Selectors

@e[type=bee]

Target Selector Examples

To change the nearest bee to a baby bee:

/data merge entity @e[type=bee,limit=1,sort=nearest] {Age:-25000}

To kill all bees:

/kill @e[type=bee]

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