Minecraft Java Edition – How to Make a Fish Ride an Invisible Squid in 1.9

minecraft-commandsminecraft-java-edition

My friends and I are trying to make realistic aquariums in 1.9 using commands with no mods or plugins to do this for us. How could I spawn different kinds on fish on invisible squids? Thanks!
I have already tried /summon Item ~ ~+1 ~ {Item:{id:minecraft:fish},Count:1,{Riding:{id:"Squid"}}

The Riding compound tag has been removed in 1.9. The Passengers list tag takes its place, except the stack order is reversed (in that the host entity is the one in the /summon syntax, rather than the one at the lowest depth of Riding).

The Count tag must also be placed inside the Item compound.

/summon Squid ~ ~+1 ~ {Passengers:[{id:"Item",Item:{id:minecraft:fish,Count:1}}]}

Minecraft – @r with the [name=] specification

Yes it does, but you have to specify the type of mob it is, or it won't target entities. As per the wiki:

When used without the type argument, @r always targets a random player. The type argument can be used to target non-player entities [...]

Here is a example:

/tp @r[type=Squid,name=Random] ~ ~3 ~

This would teleport a random Squid with the name "Random" 3 blocks up. Hope this helps!

Minecraft – Can you use the /spreadplayers command with armor stands

Yes, it turns out that you can use /spreadplayers with entities. This:

/spreadplayers 30 30 10 30 false @e[type=!Player]

Will spread any non-player entities. Using @e[type=ArmorStand] in that command instead will limit it to just your armour stands.
