Temp

Overview

Entities marked with temp are killed exactly one tick after being marked as such.

This helper allows for the creation of entities that need only to exist briefly, before being removed from the game.

A shulker, for example, can be used to summon another entity at it's position, as to position that entity aligned with the in-game grid. Such a shulker should only exist for a single tick, as to be used in another command, before being killed. Useful in conjunction with the loot-none entity data tag.

Using the temp tag

Add the tag temp to the target entity. Temp has no effect on players.

To summon an entity with the temp tag:
/summon villager ~ ~ ~ {Tags:["temp"]}

Tag	Command
temp	kill @t
