/tag

Adds, removes, or lists tags on entities. Tags are simple string labels used for entity selection and organization.

Syntax

/tag <targets> <add|list|remove> <name>

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
targets	entity	Required	The entity or entities to modify.
action	literal	Required	add, list, or remove.
name	string	Required	The tag name to add or remove. Not needed for list.

/tag @s add vip

Adds the tag "vip" to yourself.

/tag @e[type=villager] add protected

Tags all villagers with "protected".

Common Mistakes

Using spaces in tag names, tag names cannot contain spaces.
Confusing tags with scoreboard objectives, tags are binary (present or not), while scoreboards hold numeric values.

Notes

Tags are stored as a list in the entity's NBT data. They can be used in selectors with tag= or tag=!. An entity can have multiple tags. Tags are useful for grouping entities for targeting.
