Various Entities have different metadata fields and status codes.

Contents

Mobs

Mobs are spawned via Spawn Mob.

Warning.png Some entities (marked in yellow) should only be spawned using Spawn Object and their Object ID. While they also have an entity ID, this ID is only used internally. Servers should not attempt to spawn these entities using Spawn Mob with that entity ID, although clients should accept such packets if they appear.

Additionally, a few other entities (marked in blue) must be spawned in their own special ways:

Warning.png These entity IDs are out of date. Use Data Generators or Burger to get current IDs.

Objects

Objects are spawned via Spawn Object. See Object Data for more details.

Object IDs and Entity IDs are different. Most objects also have an entity ID, but should only ever be spawned via Spawn Object.

Since release 1.6, all minecarts are spawned with object type 10 and their functionality is then specified in the Data field within the packet. Also, their visual appearance may be sent via the Entity Metadata packet.

Entity Metadata Format

Note that entity metadata is a totally distinct concept from block metadata. It is not required to send all metadata fields, or even any metadata fields, so long as the terminating entry is correctly sent.

Entity Metadata is an array of entries, each of which looks like the following:

Name Type Meaning
Index Unsigned Byte Unique index key determining the meaning of the following value, see the table below. If this is 0xff then the it is the end of the Entity Metadata array and no more is read.
Type Optional VarInt Enum Only if Index is not 0xff; the type of the index, see the table below
Value Optional value of Type Only if Index is not 0xff: the value of the metadata field
Value of Type field Type of Value field Notes
0 Byte
1 VarInt
2 Float
3 String
4 Chat
5 OptChat (Boolean + Optional Chat) Chat is present if the Boolean is set to true
6 Slot
7 Boolean
8 Rotation 3 floats: rotation on x, rotation on y, rotation on z
9 Position
10 OptPosition (Boolean + Optional Position) Position is present if the Boolean is set to true
11 Direction (VarInt) (Down = 0, Up = 1, North = 2, South = 3, West = 4, East = 5)
12 OptUUID (Boolean + Optional UUID) UUID is present if the Boolean is set to true
13 OptBlockID (VarInt) 0 for absent (implies air); otherwise, a block state ID as per the global palette
14 NBT
15 Particle
16 Villager Data 3 VarInts: villager type, villager profession, level
17 OptVarInt 0 for absent; 1 + actual value otherwise. Used for entity IDs.
18 Pose A VarInt enum: 0: STANDING, 1: FALL_FLYING, 2: SLEEPING, 3: SWIMMING, 4: SPIN_ATTACK, 5: SNEAKING, 6: DYING
