Minecraft:Entity type tag (Java Edition)

An entity type tag is a group of Minecraft:entity types. It can be used in [[Minecraft:Target selectors#Selecting targets by type|Template:Cd target selector arguments]] and loot table conditions with Template:Cd, which checks if the entity's type matches any of the entity types specified in the tag. Entity type tags are also used to control a number of other gameplay features; see below for the use of each tag.
