Data component format

This feature is exclusive to Java Edition.

Data components, or simply components, are structured data used to store information and define behavior. Their IDs are namespaced identifiers, and their values can be any data type – see § List of components.

When used by items, they are referred as item components or item stack components. They can exist anywhere that an item is stored, such as the player's inventory, container block entities, and structure files. Not all characteristics of items are covered by data components. For properties of items that are defined by code and cannot be modified through components, see Java Edition hardcoded item properties.

Data components are only partly implemented for block entities. They partially replace the NBT format and allow some block data to be read or copied through predicates and loot functions.

Similarly, entities can interact with data components through predicates and loot functions, however they still strictly use the NBT format and other older internal systems to store their data in memory, not data components.

Usage

Command format

Data components can be used in the item_stack and item_predicate argument types.

In commands that take an item_stack argument, such as /give, items are represented in the format item_id[component1=value,component2=value], with component being the namespaced ID of a component, and the value being the value of the component written in SNBT format. Components can be removed by prefixing them with an exclamation mark, like item_id[!component3]. Any components that are not specified are implicitly set to the component's default value for that item type. If no components are specified, the square brackets can be removed, leaving just the item ID. See item_stack for details.

In commands that take an item_predicate argument, such as /clear and /execute if items, item predicates are represented in the format item_type[list of tests], with each test either checking if a component exists with any value, checking for an exact component value match, or checking for a data component predicate. See item_predicate for details.

Item format

Every item type (item ID) has a set of default data components. Item stacks must specify an item ID, which implicity sets these default components, but they may be overriden by that individual item stack. Default components are not saved on individual item stacks.

When saved in the NBT format, items are written as a compound with the following tags:

[NBT Compound / JSON Object] The root tag.
- [String] id: The resource location of the item. Must not be minecraft:air.
- [Int] count: Number of items stacked in this inventory slot. Any item can be stacked, even if unstackable through normal means. Defaults to 1 if not specified.
- [NBT Compound / JSON Object] components: Optional map of additional (non-default) data components.
  - See the list of components below.

In containers that do not use the data component format (such as container blocks and entity inventories), an additional [Byte] Slot tag is used to specify the slot the item is in e.g. {Slot:0b,id:"stone"}. This is not a part of the item stack format so is not present anywhere else where individual items are stored (such as single-slot containers, unstructured lists of items, etc.). In the data component format, slot numbers and item stacks are stored as separate fields e.g. {slot:0,item:{id:"stone"}}.

Block entity format

Block entities are stored in the NBT format. While they still use NBT tags for their individual properties, any non-default data components that exist on the item used to place the block will be saved.

Some NBT data on block entities are treated as data components when transfering data between items and blocks. For example, the Items field in a chest is interpreted as the minecraft:container component, despite being labeled and structured differently.

[NBT Compound / JSON Object] The root tag.

- [String] id: Block entity ID
- [Boolean] keepPacked: 1 or 0 (true/false) - If true, this is an invalid block entity, and this block is not immediately placed when a loaded chunk is loaded. If false, this is a normal block entity that can be immediately placed.
- [Int] x: X coordinate of the block entity.
- [Int] y: Y coordinate of the block entity.
- [Int] z: Z coordinate of the block entity.
- [NBT Compound / JSON Object] components: Optional map of data components that are not represented by additional fields.
  - See Data component format § List of components.
- Additional tags depending on the block entity ID. See Block entity format.

For example, if a chest was given to a player with the components minecraft:custom_data={foo:1} and minecraft:container=[{slot:0,item:{id:"stone"}}]], then placed the block on the ground, the block will be saved (omitting some fields) as:

{id:"minecraft:chest", Items:[{count:1,id:"minecraft:stone",Slot:0b}], components:{"minecraft:custom_data":{foo:1}}}

with minecraft:container saved as the Items tag, and minecraft:custom_data separated as it is not used by chest block entities.

Notes

↑ For positive values larger than 0x00FFFFFF, the top byte is ignored. All negative values produce white.
↑ If the item type has special dispenser behavior, this has no effect.
↑ The damage dealt is calculated as floor(relative_speed * damage_multiplier), where relative_speed is the difference of speed vectors of the attacker and the target as projected onto the axis of the attacker's view vector. Any additional damage from enchantments or attribute modifiers is added after this calculation.
↑ To be used in the built-in smithing recipes, the item must also be in the #trim_material tag.
