Background
In Minecraft Java Edition 1.16, 1.17, 1.18, 1.19 and 1.20, the entity value for an ender crystal is end_crystal. The end_crystal 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 end_crystal). The NBT tag is always surrounded in {} such as {ShowBottom:0b}. If there is more than one NBT tag used in a game command, the NBT tags are separated by a comma such as {ShowBottom:0b, BeamTarget:{X:12,Y:32,Z:256}}.
List of NBT Tags
Here is a list of the NBT tags that you can use for end_crystal in Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.16, 1.17, 1.18, 1.19 and 1.20:
| NBT Tag | Value (Description) | Works With |
|---|---|---|
| ShowBottom | 0b (The bedrock slate below the ender crystal will be hidden) 1b (The bedrock slate below the ender crystal will be visible) Example |
/summon /data |
| BeamTarget |
The coordinate that the ender crystal beam will point to Syntax Example |
/summon /data |
| id |
end_crystal (The entity value used to represent an ender crystal in the EntityTag or Passengers tag) Example |
/summon /give |
| Passengers |
The mob that is riding on the ender crystal. Use the entity value for the passenger mob Example of skeleton as passenger |
/summon /data |
NBT Tag Examples
To summon an ender crystal that has a beam pointing at coordinates (12,32,256):
/summon end_crystal ~ ~2 ~ {BeamTarget:{X:12,Y:32,Z:256}}
To summon an ender crystal with the bedrock slate below the ender crystal hidden:
/summon end_crystal ~ ~2 ~ {ShowBottom:0b}
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=end_crystal value, you can target ender crystals:
@e[type=end_crystal]
Target Selector Examples
To hide the bedrock slate bottom on the nearest ender crystal:
/data merge entity @e[type=end_crystal,limit=1,sort=nearest] {ShowBottom:0b}
To kill all ender crystals:
/kill @e[type=end_crystal]
Next, learn how to use the game commands in Minecraft.
