NBT Variables | MCreator Procedure Series
9Today we explored how to use NBT Tags in Minecraft for blocks, items, and entities. This tutorial covered how to get and set NBT data using commands, along with practical examples. A key point to remember is that NBT data is cleared from memory when the object is removed from the world — for items, this happens when they despawn or are destroyed (e.g., in lava); for blocks, when they are broken or replaced; and for entities, when they despawn, die, or move between dimensions. Understanding this is essential for advanced modding and command block setups.
You can find the commands for getting and setting values on my community Discord server page. The direct link to the page is provided below.
