Modifies the data tag of an entity.

entitydata <entity> <dataTag>

entity

Specifies the entity or entities to be modified. Must be an entity UUID or the @e target selector.

dataTag

Specifies the data tag elements to be added to, or overwrite elements of, the specified entity (data tags cannot be removed and strings cannot be set to a null value). Must be a compound NBT tag (for example, {CustomName:Steve}).

Fails if the arguments are not specified correctly, or if entity fails to resolve to one or more non-player entities (players cannot be changed).

On success, modifies the data tag of the targeted entity or entities.
