How to Summon NO AI Mobs in Minecraft 1.21!
Summoning NO AI Mobs in Minecraft can be a fun and creative way to add unique elements to your world!
No AI Mobs have their artificial intelligence (AI) disabled. This means that they do not exhibit any of the normal behaviors that AI-enabled mobs do, such as wandering, attacking, or fleeing.
The command to summon No AI Mobs is straightforward, and you can easily control their position, rotation, and even the items they hold (for example, summon a villager carrying a diamond sword).
Summon the mob to your desired location and add a name tag to keep it from despawning naturally!

Use of No AI Mobs
- Decoration: No AI mobs can be used as decoration, adding a touch of life and realism to your world. For example, you could arrange an army of villagers or build a museum exhibit featuring various mobs.
- Obstacles: Mobs with No AI can be strategically placed to create barriers for players. You may use them to block paths, make mazes, or design custom obstacle challenge courses.
- Combat Practice: No AI mobs provide a safe and controlled environment for practicing combat skills. Without the threat of being attacked, you can focus on improving your swordsmanship, archery, or other combat skills.
- Thumbnails: As a content creator, I found this method very helpful for creating custom thumbnails featuring mobs for my youtube videos.
How to summon a No AI Mob
Command syntax:
/summon <mob_name> <x> <y> <z> {NoAI:1,Rotation:[0f,0f]}
Explanation:
/summon <mob_name>: This specifies the type of mob to be summoned. Replace<mob_name>with the desired mob’s name (e.g., zombie, creeper, pig, ender_dragon, etc).<x> <y> <z>: These are the coordinates where the mob will be spawned. Replace<x>,<y>, and<z>with the desired numerical values. To summon a mob at the same position as the player, replace<x>,<y>, and<z>with~ ~ ~.-
{NoAI:1,Rotation:[0f,0f]}: This is a data tag that modifies the mob’s behavior and appearance:NoAI:1: This tag disables the mob’s artificial intelligence, making it a static entity that does not move or exhibit typical mob behaviors.Rotation:[0f,0f]: This tag sets the mob’s rotation to 0 degrees on both the x and y axes, causing it to face directly south.
Examples:
- To summon a No AI zombie, type the following command:
/summon zombie ~ ~ ~ {NoAI:1,Rotation:[0f,0f]}
- Let’s add some rotation! By changing the first rotation value to 90f, the mob will be facing west:
-
/summon pig ~ ~ ~ {NoAI:1,Rotation:[90f,0f]}
-
- Summon a mob holding an item, for example, a skeleton holding an enchanted bow:
/summon skeleton ~ ~1 ~ {ArmorItems:[{},{},{},{id:"minecraft:stone_button",Count:1}],HandItems:[{Count:1,id:bow,tag:{Enchantments:[{id:infinity,lvl:3}]}}]}
