Minecraft – How to summon mobs to dropped items

minecraft-commandsminecraft-java-edition

How can I summon a mob at the same place as a dropped item? I tried /summon Zombie @e[type=Ingot.iron] but I couldn't get it to work.

Also, is it possible to summon mobs to a named item, e.g. an iron ingot named "Zombie"?

/summon doesn't take a a target to summon the mob at, so you'll need to use /execute, and selectors can't select items by type, so you'll need to use /scoreboard players set (which can set a score for items with specific NBT data) to set the entity's score first, and then select it based on that scoreboard objective.

First, set up a dummy scoreboard objective that we will use to keep track of items that are iron ingots:

/scoreboard objectives add isIronIngot dummy

Then run this on a clock, to set all dropped iron ingot's isIronIngot score to 1:

/scoreboard players set @e[type=Item] isIronIngot 1 {Item:{id:"minecraft:iron_ingot"}}

Now, whenever you want to spawn a zombie at the iron ingots, use this command:

/execute @e[score_isIronIngot_min=1] ~ ~ ~ /summon Zombie

Which will make anything with an isIronIngot score of (at least) 1 summon a zombie.

To have this only work with ingots named "Zombie", replace the second command with:

/scoreboard players set @e[type=Item] isIronIngot 1 {Item:{id:"minecraft:iron_ingot",tag:{display:{Name:"Zombie"}}}}

First, set a row of Command blocks plugged into a clock, testing for the Player approximate roation:

rotation can be tested for using the target selector arguments ry, rym, rx, and rxm, denoting the maximum and minimum view angle in the horizontal (east, south, etc.) and vertical (up, down) direction, respectively.

For example, to test for someone looking South (=0±22), use

testfor @a[ry=22,rym=-22]

(source here)

Then, for each command block set a command to be triggered if the output is true:

/execute @a[SomeSelector] ~ ~ ~ summon Zombie x y z {YourNBTTag}

Instead of x y z put the relative coordinates you want (for each CMD block pair a different set).
That would be, 4 * 2 or 8 * 2 CMD blocks altogether, depending on the accuracy you want.

Ok so this is for summoning an immobile arrow:

Add a repeating command block (always active) with the following command:

/execute @e[type=Arrow] ~ ~ ~ /summon Arrow ~ ~ ~ {CustomName:NAMEHERE}

Add a chain command block to the back of the repeating command blockthats always active and conditional

/execute @a ~ ~ ~ /kill @e[type=Arrow,r=4]

Your question is unclear

The arrow will not move. It would require hundreds, at the very least, of command blocks. Nevertheless, I wish you luck. I could try to improve it if I could get on your server but I will not be able to make it perfect.
