Hey everybody, it’s Under My Cap, and welcome back to another video! Today, I’m going to be showing you how to use the tag command. The tag command is a very useful and extremely simple command that you can use. I’m going to basically show you all the ways you can use it and all the components of the command. This is a really cool command; I love it, and it’s quite simple. Here’s an example of how you can use tags. For instance, if you have a specific mob that you want to find among a whole bunch of other mobs—in this case, I just have three sheep—you can actually use the tag command to find specific mobs to perform actions. In this scenario, I want to teleport the tagged sheep to me. As you can see, the tagged sheep allows the command to run with that specific entity. This means that you can do a whole bunch of other things with this command. One main application is tagging a specific player. To do this, you would use the tag command: slash tag followed by the player’s name. Before we get into further examples, let’s discuss the types of commands you can use with the tag command. It consists of three components, similar to other commands: add, list, and remove. The add command will add a tag. For this demonstration, I’m going to add a tag called “test.” After hitting enter, I have now been added to the tag list. This leads us to the next command, the list command, which simply lists all the tags that the player has—pretty straightforward. If I wanted to remove the tag, all I need to do is type in the same command as before, but replace “add” with “remove,” followed by the tag name, which is “test.” This command is case-sensitive, meaning if you capitalize any letters in the command, it must stay that way. If you misspell the command or don’t use the correct capitalization, it won’t work. So, ensure that you input your tags using the correct capitalization or just in all lowercase, which is what I usually do. As I just demonstrated, there are three simple parts to the command. If you want to add tags to multiple entities, or if you want to spawn them in without having to give each mob a tag individually, you can simply give yourself a mob egg with the tag. Let’s dive into this command. It’s basically the give command for the mob egg, but with an additional step. You want to type in slash give followed by your username. Let’s do an example of a sheep spawn egg. As you can see, we’ve auto-filled that in. Now, here’s the part where we add a special NBT tag. We’ll type in “entity” and “tag,” followed by a colon. After this, we want to put in a squiggly line bracket, type in “tags,” and then another colon. Now, if you imagine this as a folder structure, we’re gradually adding information into it: entity, tag, tags, then we’ll put in a square bracket, quotation mark, and you can type whatever tag you want. I’m going to put in “test1,” close the quotation marks, the square brackets, and then close the curly brackets. As you can see, it’s highlighted, meaning the command has registered. If we hit enter, we receive our sheep egg, which says it has one NBT tag. Now, if we spawn in a whole bunch of sheep and some normal sheep, you’ll notice there’s a normal sheep along with those tagged. We can then teleport all the tagged sheep to us. When executing the teleport command, we use “at s” to indicate where we want to teleport them. All the sheep with the tag were teleported to me, while the rest stayed where they were. Regarding individual mobs, if you have a specific mob to which you want to add a tag, let me show you how to quickly do that. Instead of searching for the name, point your cursor at the mob and open the command console to type in the tag command. Once you hit space, a bunch of random letters and numbers will appear—this is the ID for that mob. Once you hit enter, you can tag it. I’ll type “tag1” and hit enter. You can see that the sheep now has the tag. That’s about it! If you enjoyed the video, please leave a like, and don’t forget to subscribe to the channel. I like to create a lot of Minecraft content focused on commands. I’m also very close to hitting 4K subscribers, so your support would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for watching, and I can’t wait to see you in the next video!
