Modifies the data tag of an entity.

;Syntax

: <code>entitydata <''entity''> <''dataTag''></code>

;Arguments

: ''entity''
:: Specifies the entity(ies) to be modified. Must be an entity UUID or the <code>@e</code> [[#Target selectors|target selector]].

: ''dataTag''
:: Specifies the [[#Data tags|data tag]] elements to be added to, or overwrite elements of, the specified entity (data tags cannot be removed and strings cannot be set to a null value). Must be a compound [[NBT tag]] (for example, <code>{CustomName:Fred}</code>).

;Result

: Fails if the arguments are not specified correctly, or if ''entity'' fails to resolve to one or more non-player entities (players can not be changed).

: On success, modifies the data tag of the targeted entity(ies).

;Examples

: To prevent all current zombies from picking up loot:
:: <code>entitydata @e[type=Zombie] {CanPickUpLoot:0}</code>
