NBT (Named Binary Tag) is Minecraft's data format for storing entity and item properties. When used with /summon, NBT tags are written in SNBT (Stringified NBT) format inside curly braces after the coordinates. Each entity type has its own set of NBT tags — this generator handles the correct format automatically.
