This Elder Guardian summon generator creates ready-to-paste /summon commands for Minecraft Java Edition. Customize NBT data, add equipment, apply status effects, and set attributes, then copy the command into your game or command block.The /summon command spawns entities at a specified location in the world. For a elder guardian, the base command is /summon minecraft:elder_guardian ~ ~ ~, which spawns one at your current position. This generator lets you customize the elder guardian with NBT data tags that control everything from custom names to equipment and potion effects.
All commands are generated for Java Edition 1.21+ and use the current SNBT syntax. Commands update in real time as you change settings.
Tip: Commands longer than 256 characters must be run from a command block rather than the chat window. Use /give @s command_block to get one.

| pos | Coordinates (defaults to executor's position) | ~ ~ ~, 100 64 -200 |
| nbt | Optional NBT compound tag | {CustomName:'"Bob"'} |

Yes. Names are set with the CustomName tag, and equipment goes in the equipment tag, which takes a slot name (head, chest, legs, feet, mainhand, offhand) for each item. On 1.21.4 and earlier the same thing was split across ArmorItems and HandItems. This generator builds the right tags for the version you pick and lets you set drop chances for each slot.
Yes. In singleplayer, enable cheats when creating the world or open the world to LAN with cheats on. On multiplayer servers you need operator permissions. Once enabled, the command works in any game mode.
