Can someone help me figure out how to use execute to summon a mob at a player with a name? - Full body side view of plus size woman and slender female instructor in activewear holding hands and looking at each other on white background

I've tried to use:

{CustomName:['<name>']} 

but it doesn't work. What should I use instead? Plz help me.



Best Answer

CustomName is a string rather than a list containing a string. Thus, the data should look like: {CustomName:"<NAME>"}

Your full command should look like:

/execute <PLAYER SELECTOR> ~ ~ ~ /summon <MOB TYPE> ~ ~ ~ {CustomName:"<NAME>"}
