My friends and I are trying to make realistic aquariums in 1.9 using commands with no mods or plugins to do this for us. How could I spawn different kinds on fish on invisible squids? Thanks! I have already tried /summon Item ~ ~+1 ~ {Item:{id:minecraft:fish},Count:1,{Riding:{id:"Squid"}}

    Have you tried anything yourself? We might be able to find a solution faster if we know what you've already attempted.

  • Minecraft-speaking, what's a fish?

    @DatOneLefty uhh... good point. I was focussing on entities, I forgot about items together.

The Riding compound tag has been removed in 1.9. The Passengers list tag takes its place, except the stack order is reversed (in that the host entity is the one in the /summon syntax, rather than the one at the lowest depth of Riding).

The Count tag must also be placed inside the Item compound.

/summon Squid ~ ~+1 ~ {Passengers:[{id:"Item",Item:{id:minecraft:fish,Count:1}}]}

Although this has already been answered, I would like to extend Skylinerw's answer.

/summon Squid ~ ~ ~ {Passengers:[{id:"Item",Item:{id:minecraft:fish,Count:1,Age:-32768,PickupDelay:32767}}]}

What "Age" is the despawn time of the item. By putting -32768, we do not allow it to despawn.

What "PickupDelay" is the delay of picking up the dropped item. A simple proof of concept is to drop an item below your feet. There would be a short delay before you pick it up. By putting 32767, we do not allow it to be picked up.
