Every entity in Minecraft Java Edition has a unique namespaced identifier, from common mobs likeCreepers and
Zombies to technical entities like Area Effect Clouds and Display entities. The list above is searchable and extracted straight from the selected version's game data.
The Minecraft entity ID list above is a searchable reference for every entity in Java Edition. Entity IDs are used in /summon commands, entity selectors (@e[type=...]), /kill commands and data pack entity definitions.
The registry includes recent additions like the Happy Ghast, Copper Golem, Creaking, Breeze and Bogged, all pulled directly from the game data for the version you select.
1. Search by name to find entity IDs. Type "zombie" to see every zombie variant (zombie, zombie_villager, zombified_piglin and more).
2. Copy entity IDs for use in /summon commands, entity selectors or data pack configurations.
3. Browse all entities to discover technical entities you might not know about, like display entities and markers used in data packs.
4. Check recent additions by switching the version selector. The list always reflects the version you pick.
Minecraft entities fall into several categories:
Living entities that move, attack and interact with the world. Includes hostile mobs (Creeper, 
Skeleton, Warden), passive mobs (Cow, Sheep, Villager), neutral mobs (Wolf, Enderman, Piglin) and bosses (
Ender Dragon, Wither).
Entities shot or thrown: 
Arrow, Spectral Arrow, 
Trident, Fireball, Small Fireball, Shulker Bullet, Wind Charge, Snowball, Egg, Ender Pearl and splash and lingering potions.
Rideable entities: Boats (one per wood type), Chest Boats, Minecarts and Minecart variants (Chest, Hopper, TNT, Furnace, Command Block, Spawner). Bamboo Rafts are also included.
Non-visible or utility entities: Item (dropped items), Experience Orb, Area Effect Cloud, Marker, Block Display, Item Display, Text Display, Falling Block, Lightning Bolt and Fishing Bobber. These are commonly used in data packs and custom maps.
/summon with NBT: The /summon command accepts NBT data for customized entities. For example, /summon minecraft:zombie ~ ~ ~ {IsBaby:1b,CustomName:'"Bob"'} spawns a named baby zombie.
Entity selectors: Target specific entity types in commands: /kill @e[type=minecraft:creeper] removes all Creepers. Combine with distance filters: @e[type=minecraft:item,distance=..5] targets items within 5 blocks.
Display entities: Block Display, Item Display and Text Display entities were added for map makers and data pack creators. They render blocks, items or text at arbitrary positions with full transformation support (scale, rotation, translation), which makes them powerful for custom UI elements and decorations.
Spawn egg IDs: Every summonable mob has a matching spawn egg in the item registry. The pattern is minecraft:mob_name_spawn_egg. Check our Item ID list for the full spawn egg catalog.
Minecraft Java Edition registers well over a hundred entity IDs. This covers all mobs (hostile, neutral and passive), projectiles (arrows, fireballs, tridents), vehicles (boats, minecarts), display entities (item frames, armor stands, paintings) and technical entities (area effect clouds, experience orbs, markers). The exact count changes with each update, so the list above is extracted straight from the selected version's game data.
The syntax is /summon <entity_id> [x y z] [nbt_data]. For example, /summon minecraft:zombie ~ ~ ~ spawns a zombie at your position. You can add NBT data for customization: /summon minecraft:zombie ~ ~ ~ {IsBaby:1b} spawns a baby zombie. The command requires cheats to be enabled.
Entity selectors are shortcodes used in commands to target entities: @p (nearest player), @a (all players), @r (random player), @e (all entities) and @s (executing entity). You can filter by type with @e[type=minecraft:creeper] to target all Creepers. Additional filters include distance, scores, tags and NBT data.
Recent additions include the Breeze and Bogged (1.21 Trial Chambers), Armadillo (1.20.5), Camel and Sniffer (1.20), Warden (1.19) and the Creaking (1.21.4 Pale Garden). Newer snapshots add the Happy Ghast and Copper Golem. The list above always reflects the version you have selected.
