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 Donkey Summon Generator

  1. Type donkey into the search box (or leave the default – this page opens straight to the Donkey panel).
  2. Toggle Is Baby for a foal instead of an adult donkey.
  3. Check Tamed if you want it rideable immediately, without needing to mount-and-buck it first.
  4. Check Has Chest to attach a carried chest for extra storage, exactly like right-clicking a tamed donkey with a chest in survival.
  5. Copy the generated /summon command and paste it into a command block, the server console, or an operator’s chat.

Command Syntax & NBT Reference

The base command is /summon minecraft:donkey ~ ~ ~ {NBT}. This tool fills in the {NBT} portion for you:

  • IsBaby:1b – spawns a foal (can’t be ridden, bred, or chested until it grows into an adult).
  • Tame:1b – marks the donkey as already broken in, skipping the repeated-mounting minigame normally needed to tame a wild one.
  • ChestedHorse:1b – attaches a carried chest, granting 15 extra inventory slots the same way equipping one manually would. In vanilla you can only add a chest to a tamed donkey, but this generator’s flag applies regardless of the Tame checkbox’s state.

Unlike Horse, this generator has no color, markings, or saddle field for Donkey – donkeys have a single fixed gray-brown coat in vanilla and are steered by holding the reins (a lead) rather than a saddle and carrot on a stick. A chested donkey’s inventory is separate from the player’s own and persists with the entity, so items placed in it survive a server restart as long as the donkey itself isn’t removed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a chested donkey also be ridden at the same time?

Yes – a tamed donkey with a chest can still be ridden by holding a lead or simply mounting it; the chest inventory and the riding seat are independent of each other.

Why is there no Saddle field for Donkey like there is for Horse?

Donkeys aren’t steered with a saddle and carrot on a stick in vanilla – you control one with a lead attached to a fence, or simply by riding without steering input, so this generator omits a saddle option that wouldn’t do anything.

Does this donkey keep its chest contents if I breed it with a Horse?

No – breeding produces a brand-new mule entity with an empty inventory; the parent donkey’s chest and its contents stay with the parent, they aren’t transferred to any offspring.

Will this command work the same way on Bedrock Edition?

No – this tool generates Java Edition SNBT syntax. Bedrock Edition uses its own command and component format for the same donkey options.
