Data tags are pieces of information that get stored on items and blocks. Tags are used to alter items in various ways, such as in appearance or in functionality.

Usage

Data tags can be applied to items by using the give command. They are the fourth parameter.

An example of a give command using data tags:

give leather_cap 1 0 {type:"purple", name:"Purple Hat", enchantments:["unbreaking2", "Fire Protection III"]}
