Build /summon commands with custom NBT for every vanilla mob — baby variants, equipment, colors, and mob-specific options.

Run /summon from an operator’s chat, a command block, or the server console. Not every internal NBT field is covered — this generates the commonly-used ones for each mob.

How to Use the Enderman Summon Generator

  1. Type enderman into the search box, or open this page directly – it lands on the Enderman panel by default.
  2. Type a full block ID into the Carried Block text field, such as minecraft:grass_block or minecraft:dirt, if you want the enderman to spawn already holding a block above its head.
  3. Leave Carried Block empty for an enderman with empty hands, same as most naturally spawned ones.
  4. Copy the finished /summon command into a command block, server console, or operator chat.

Command Syntax & NBT Reference

Base command: /summon minecraft:enderman ~ ~ ~ {NBT}. Typing a block ID into Carried Block generates:

  • carriedBlockState:{Name:"<your block ID>"} – this uses the modern block-state NBT format (a Name field inside a compound), not the older numeric block-ID-plus-data-value format from pre-1.13 versions. You must type the ID exactly as it appears in-game, including the minecraft: namespace prefix.
  • This field accepts any valid block ID as free text – the generator doesn’t restrict it to a fixed dropdown list the way equipment fields do for other mobs, since there are hundreds of blocks an enderman could theoretically carry.

An invalid or misspelled block ID here won’t throw a visible error from this generator – the resulting command will simply fail silently or do nothing useful when run, so double-check the ID against the in-game block name if the carried block doesn’t appear.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an enderman summoned with a carried block still teleport normally?

Yes. Holding a block doesn’t restrict an enderman’s teleport ability at all – it still blinks away when hit, when it wants to close distance on a target, or to escape rain and water, block in hand the whole time.

Does giving it a carried block affect whether it drops that block on death?

No – an enderman never drops its carried block when killed. The carried block is purely a visual/behavioral prop the enderman holds and can place down or pick back up; it isn’t part of its death drop table.

Why does my enderman teleport away the moment I look at it?

That’s unrelated to anything this generator sets – endermen become provoked and teleport toward (or attack) a player who looks directly at their eyes/face for too long, or who attacks them first. This vanilla aggro behavior applies the same way to an enderman summoned through this tool as to a naturally spawned one.

Will an enderman summoned over water immediately start taking damage?

Yes – endermen take damage from contact with water regardless of how they were summoned, and in rain they’ll teleport repeatedly trying to find dry ground. This generator has no NBT option to make an enderman water-safe; it’s baseline vanilla behavior for the entity type.
