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

legitimoose officially stupit :P

[@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

[@xhomiegreninjax137]

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.

[@osjos2822]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@tootietooter5984]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@bco-fm5qu]

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

[@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.

[@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...

[@user-dx1vg9ln4o]

yes a new tutorial, I am a big fan of you and you have learned me all I know about minecraft commands. I really like your work

[@Brute-the-Brutality]

I just found this video trying to learn a /setblock command that makes a piston face up. But still… FINALLY!!! A /data video that actually MAKES SENCE!!!

[@Log1eI3ear]

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

[@nerdamethyst]

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

[@AcornGR]

i would really love a comprehensive minecraft plugin tutorial from you. you make everything super easy to learn

[@alvahisok]

I am learning /data these days and this video is really helpful!!

[@TheEnderCore]

Where was this 8 months ago when I was doing datapack. Anyhow thanks for making this more clear :))))).

[@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.

[@magix4630]

Finally a video after months

[@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.

[@heavenlymessiah8692]

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