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 Drowned Summon Generator

  1. Type drowned into the search box, or select it from the Hostile group in the dropdown.
  2. Toggle Is Baby for a small, fast baby drowned instead of an adult.
  3. Pick Trident from the weapon dropdown if you want the drowned holding one in its main hand – the only option besides “None” for this mob’s weapon field.
  4. Copy the finished /summon command into a command block, server console, or operator chat.

Command Syntax & NBT Reference

Base command: /summon minecraft:drowned ~ ~ ~ {NBT}. The fields on this page map to:

  • IsBaby:1b – spawns a baby drowned (smaller hitbox, faster movement).
  • HandItems:[{Count:1,id:"minecraft:trident"},{}] – gives the drowned a trident in its main hand. The generator’s weapon list for this mob only offers Trident or None, since that’s the only weapon real drowned ever carry.

Real naturally-spawned drowned have roughly a 15% chance to spawn holding a trident already – this generator’s toggle just guarantees one whenever you want it, rather than leaving it to that natural random roll.

Frequently Asked Questions

If I convert a zombie to a drowned instead of summoning one, will it have a trident?

No – a zombie that drowns and converts into a drowned (by having its head underwater for around 30 seconds) never spawns with a trident, regardless of how long it stays submerged. Only drowned that spawn directly (not via conversion) have a chance at carrying one naturally, which is exactly why this generator’s Trident option is useful for guaranteeing an armed drowned without relying on natural spawns.

Will a drowned summoned with this generator drop its trident when killed?

A drowned holding a trident (however it got one) has a fairly small chance to drop it on death – it’s not a guaranteed drop. Looting doesn’t apply the same way it does to common drops, so expect it to be a rare trophy even from a trident-equipped drowned.

Can a drowned summoned this way survive on land, or does it need water?

Drowned can survive and fight on both land and underwater – they don’t require water to exist, though they swim and pursue underwater targets far more effectively than a regular zombie could. This generator doesn’t restrict where you place the summon; it fights the same on dry land as it does submerged.

What’s the difference between summoning a Drowned here versus a Husk?

Husk is a separate, desert-dwelling zombie variant that never burns in sunlight and inflicts Hunger on hit – it has no swimming advantage and can’t carry a trident. Use the dedicated Husk entry in this generator instead of trying to recreate its sun-immunity on a Drowned.
