Good to know

  • A tag sticks to the player or entity and is saved in the world.
  • Do not confuse it with teams: Tags are invisible and unlimited, while a team is single and gives a color.

How do I run this command?

Press T in game to open chat (or press / directly), type the command and press Enter. While typing, Tab completes the options. This command counts as a cheat: It needs cheats enabled in a singleplayer world, and operator permission on a server (operator (level 2)).
