Talk:Tutorials/Command NBT tags

Duplicate article?
Is this article necessary? Doesn't it just duplicate information already in Chunk format and Player.dat_Format?

I could see a tutorial explaining how to use nbt tags with commands, but an article seems redundant.

 * I agree, not to mention the article's author has probably not read it when he, for example, cannot differ direction and Motion, the first one being projectiles exclusive, and the second one beginning with an uppercase M, as well as everything else. It's pretty much a dump article containing mostly the author's (not so elaborate) personal research. The only valuable thing here would be the syntax for the commands, but that would probably go to Commands.

What about /setblock?
Does not include commands? They have NBT tags as well! TrainsILike  (talk | contribs ) 05:21, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

Adding an example
There needs to be an example such as /give kenblu24 minecraft:paper 1 1 {display:{Name:"snoo"}} the article doesn't clearly state that there need to be curly braces surrounding the first nbt tag. Kenblu24 (talk) 22:09, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

Making this tutorial useful
There is no point is having a tutorial that simply duplicates information already available at chunk format and player.dat. If that's all this is going to be, then I would recommend deletion.

For this tutorial to be useful, it needs to address common problems. Instead of just listing tags, it should answer questions like "How do I add enchantments or attributes to an item?", "How do I summon mobs with potion effects/special items?", etc.

No NBT Tags for the /testfor Command?
I am new when it comes to NBT Tags, so I find this article somewhat helpful... Sadly, quite a few of the tags listed are outdated or no longer exist, seeing they don't work. Now lets get back on topic... As the headline says, why aren't there any NBT Tags for the /testfor command? A list of them would be quite helpful for those who are new to NBT Tags, like I am.

Also, while I'm making this topic, I would like to ask a quick question regarding a NBT Tag... If you use the command /testfor @a {Sleeping:1b}, it will test for whether or not a user in the game is sleeping in a bed. My question is this: what difference does the "1b" make? Does it have any affect on the results of the command?
