Minecraft 1.9 Data Tags changed

minecraft-commandsminecraft-java-edition

Ok so I have this command here:

/summon Item ~ ~1 ~ {Item:{id:spawn_egg,Damage:65,Count:32,tag:{display:{Name:"Destruction Pellet",Lore:["Place this item in a dispenser and power","to destroy the block infront"]}}}}

What it does is summon 32 bat Spawneggs with the name Destruction Pellet. This command works a treat in any 1.8 version (specifically 1.8.0, since that what I use), but when I upgrade to a Minecraft 1.9 snapshot (15w51b) this command now only summons empty spawneggs, as if the Damage isn't even there.

So I was wondering if the format/order of Data Tags has changed in the most recent snapshot, or weather this is a bug and it needs to be sumbitted to the Minecraft Bug Tracker.

First minor issue is that you have unbalanced quotation marks:

["Place this item in a dispenser and power","to destroy the block infront ]
                                             Need to end the string here ^

As of 1.9, you need to specify data about the entity, including its type, inside of an EntityTag compound tag, like this:

/summon Item ~ ~1 ~ {Item:{id:spawn_egg,Count:32,tag:{EntityTag:{id:"Bat"},display:{Name:"Destruction Pellet",Lore:["Place this item in a dispenser and power","to destroy the block infront"]}}}}
