Minecraft Data Command [1.19] Tutorial

In this tutorial, learn the /data command and all it's many subcommands. The data command is used to modify NBT data in a block, entity, or storage. This tutorial is working as of 1.19 (Java edition), and works in all versions after 1.13 when /blockdata and /entitydata were merged into /data.
Commands:
/data merge entity @e[type=pig,limit=1,sort=nearest] {Motion:[0d,1d,0d],Invulnerable:1}
/data modify entity @e[type=pig,limit=1] Health set from entity @s foodLevel

[@brixfrancisco4707]

how to change the nbt tag on the item when holding the item?

[@heavenlymessiah8692]

@@brixfrancisco4707 just make a datapack, then use /execute to check if the player is holding the item, then after the check in the /execute command, make it run a function to do an nbt change to the tag

[@heavenlymessiah8692]

@@Waradu you can’t use /data but you can use item modifiers

Finally, a /Data tutorial that doesn't feel like a literal math lesson. This is why I subscribed 👍

[@ultimategames78]

I completely agree with this comment.

[@nukalex2164]

Exactly! His tutorials are always so illuminating compared to most of the other ones on youtube

[@pianto8151]

He's the best for tuts on minecraft commands

[@ogayu3469]

Yes

[@EpicTaarna]

I couldn't agree more! I like how he gives it personality too, instead of going through like a college professor.

[@ramok1303]

I did the homework: super furnace: /data modify block ~ ~ ~-2 CookTimeTotal set value 1 (in repeating CB) copying inventory: /data modify block ~ ~ ~2 Items set from entity @p Inventory

[@luc1xn]

no, the super furnace is /data modify block (furnace coords) CookTime set value 199 in a repeating cb or tick function

[@enthusiasticbanana6232]

I already knew how to use the /data command and this video was still a delight to watch. A true testament to the sheer quality of your videos.

[@osjos2822]

As someone who was into commands in 2014-2017 but came back after everything changed these tutorials are super helpful

[@freeby2312]

Every tutorial isn't perfect, but this, this is a masterpiece made by a moose, very legit I know Can't spell so I edited

[@firegodjr8331]

You explain things so well! This is an absurdly understandable video for such a technical concept. I love that you don't skip anything, like some other youtubers do, because they expect the audience to be bored. Subbed!

[@CodeCreature]

Great video! I've learned most of what I know about command blocks from you! You might actually need to do a part 2 just go over blocks and storage more in depth. Those are some more complicated actions that I think a lot of people could get some use out of when they get further into datapacks.

[@Nick12_45]

4:56 that cut off "subscribe" lmao

[@bco-fm5qu]

I was always looking for a good /data tutorial. Thanks.

I'm working on a datapack but wasn't quite sure how to make newly spawned mobs effected. Great video! Very concise.

[@kurbeisalt4893]

Thank you for another absolute banger Legitimoose. You continue to provide high quality tutorials that are also fun for the viewer to experience. It’s very clear how much effort goes into these.

I am not going to lie to you, you are the only youtuber who I rave over when you upload. Please release more of these tutorials more often, like the replaceitem command. PLLLLLLLSSSSSS

[@inabyt]

I literally needed this last week XD. Though I can still pick up good tips and trix. I was watching your execute store walkthrough and you just breezed over how to get your player cords and I was like But how!!!? But I got it after some time.

[@ygrndy6655]

This helps a lot, A while ago I was trying to copy banner patterns from other banners and now I see why the command wasn't working. Thank you so much.

[@Florian1509_]

its quite funny. i watched your videos about this when 1.19 and the data and execute command came out. now a few years later i made it into my dreamjob apprenticeship as software developer. kinda helps that i leared data types at some point aswell haha.

[@Squilly4]

this was such an unexpectedly entertaining video considering the subject of it. what an amazing tutorial dude!

[@Ogmoe]

The only reason why i somewhat know how command blocks work.

[@dndkeg]

This was a very useful tutorial and explained the difference between the two commands. Now I gotta figure out how to modify an existing villager's specific trades with the modify command...

[@Broken-V]

Can you believe it, a use for /data modify merge, had to give an item tag to a players item when shift rightclicking with a book in your offhand.

[@command49.1game6]

This will come in HANDY in the future!

[@nerdamethyst]

I really like the humor in these tutorials. It makes learning commands fun

[@RobertHDPotatoes]

Great tutorial. Not sure if anyone else will see this comment, but just in case I could possibly save someone some sanity I will be mentioning that you currently cannot merge/modifiy NBT data relating to Passengers, although this might be changing in 1.20. In 1.19.4 and versions below, it is not possible to change the passengers as it is something that the game has basically decided upon the entity spawning in the world.

[@mdj5782]

Very legit tutorial moose thanks

[@heavenlymessiah8692]

HOW COINCIDENTAL, i was trying to solve a problem with the data command and look what i've found, thank you legitimoose!

Fast furnace: /data merge block ~ ~ ~ {"CookTimeTotal":20s} it only seems to be working when the furnace is *constantly* getting that command applied to it, eg have to use a repeating command block or your tick data pack function still not sure how to do the inventory clone though

[@Zacharias_]

Thanks man. Were looking for a tutorial for the "/data" command. Could you maybe make a tutorial covering the nbt option?

So if NBT stands for "named binary tag", and people often say "NBT tag," does that mean they're really "named binary tag tags"?!?;

i would tp an armour stand to the pig, which detects when you click it, but i dont know about the chest part

@@bananasplitd006a5 hey! Thanks. It was two years ago, and I kept thinking about how to do it, and the only answer I found was programming a plugin. But never did it at the end.

@Pigiii I thought about it more and if you play recent versions, it's better to tp an interaction entity.

I'm currently trying to learn more about commands, so if I figure out the chest part, I'll come back to your comment 😊
