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 Bee Summon Generator

  1. Type bee into the search box (or leave the default – this page opens straight to the Bee panel).
  2. Check Has Nectar if you want the bee to already be carrying pollen, ready to deposit it into a nearby hive or nest rather than needing to visit a flower first.
  3. Set Angry (ticks) above 0 if you want the bee to spawn already provoked and ready to sting on sight, counting down from that value (20 ticks = 1 second).
  4. 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:bee ~ ~ ~ {NBT}. This tool fills in the {NBT} portion for you:

  • HasNectar:1b – spawns the bee visibly carrying pollen (a slightly different, “dusted” appearance), matching the state a real bee is in after visiting a flower and before returning to its hive.
  • AngerTime:<ticks> – only included if the value is greater than 0. Starts the bee already hostile toward the nearest player, counting down in game ticks (20 per second) until it calms back down, exactly like a bee that just stung someone or had its hive disturbed.

A bee that stings a player loses its stinger and dies shortly after – this is unconditional vanilla behavior tied to the sting action itself, not something toggled by the Anger field, which only controls whether it’s aggressive enough to attempt a sting in the first place. Setting Anger to 0 leaves the bee in its normal calm, wandering-and-pollinating state.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will an angry bee summoned this way die after stinging a player?

Yes – that’s automatic vanilla behavior for any bee that stings a player, regardless of how its Anger Time was set. The bee loses its stinger on the sting and dies shortly afterward from the resulting damage.

Does Has Nectar affect whether the bee can still sting?

No – nectar-carrying state and anger/hostility are independent fields. A bee can be both carrying nectar and provoked at the same time, or either one without the other.

What happens if I set Anger Time very high?

The bee simply stays hostile for that many ticks before calming down on its own; there’s no upper cap enforced by this generator, though the field expects a whole number of ticks (20 per second).

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 bee nectar and anger state.
