NBT Commands

NBT data for the Bedrock edition is minimal. The only values we have access to are:

CanPlaceOn
CanDestroy
KeepOnDeath
ItemLock.

These are used as part of a /give or replaceitem command and can edit specific properties of the items with said NBT.

CanPlaceOn and CanDestroy

Destroy: /give @p diamond_pickaxe 1 0 {"minecraft:can_destroy":{"blocks":["planks", "skull"]}}

Place on: /give @p stone 1 0 {"minecraft:can_place_on":{"blocks":["stone"]}}

You can add more blocks like this: ["stone", "dirt", "bedrock"]

Note: The game interprets mob skulls as blocks that can be destroyed. These two NBT components only function in adventure mode.

CanPlaceOn Everything

This is the code for a block that can be placed on everything in the game:

Please, note that if there is at least one invalid block, this won't work!

ItemLock

Lock in any applicable slot in inventory: /give @p iron_axe 1 100 {"minecraft:item_lock":{ "mode": "lock_in_inventory" }}

Lock in a specific slot in inventory: /give @p apple 1 0 {"minecraft:item_lock":{ "mode": "lock_in_slot" }}

These two variations of ItemLock are mutually exclusive. Itemlock works in both adventure and survival.

Overriding how ItemLock displays

The texture to overwrite is 16x16, and is located in RP/textures/ui/item_lock_red.png and RP/textures/ui/item_lock_yellow.png

The following translation keys can be overwritten if you want to change how these components display:

item.itemLock.cantDrop=:hollow_star: Can't Drop Items can't be:
item.itemLock.cantMove=:solid_star: Can't Move Items can't be:
item.itemLock.hoverText.cantBe.moved=moved
item.itemLock.hoverText.cantBe.dropped=dropped
item.itemLock.hoverText.cantBe.removed=removed
item.itemLock.hoverText.cantBe.craftedWith=crafted with
item.itemLock.keepOnDeath=This item is not lost on death
item.itemLock.popupNotice.cantDrop=:hollow_star: Can't Drop Items can't be: dropped, removed, crafted with
item.itemLock.popupNotice.cantMove=:solid_star: Can't Move Items can't be: moved, dropped, removed, crafted with

If you want to hide description and red/yellow triangle, you can simply do: /gamerule showtags false

KeepOnDeath

Item will remain in an entity's inventory when it dies: /replaceitem entity @e[type=zombie] slot.weapon.mainhand -1 cooked_beef 1 0 {"minecraft:keep_on_death":{}}

For non-player entities, the item will not be present in their inventory after death as they do not respawn. This can be cleared from the entity's inventory using /clear or replaced with /replaceitem.

Gamerule /keepinventory set to true functions as if all items in a player's inventory had "minecraft:keep_on_death":{}. However, the NBT component is most helpful in filtering on specific items that one wishes for a player to remain in his or her inventory instead of all items.

KeepOnDeath functions identically in both adventure and survival mode.

Combining NBT components

Give all players a bow that locks in a specific inventory slot and is kept on death: /give @a bow 1 0 {"minecraft:item_lock":{ "mode": "lock_in_slot" }, "minecraft:keep_on_death":{}}

Give self a stone shovel that can only dig up gravel and sand, and locks in inventory: /give @s stone_shovel 1 0 {"minecraft:can_destroy":{"blocks":["dirt", "sand"]},"minecraft:item_lock":{ "mode": "lock_in_inventory" }}

Additional Notes

Assigning specific blocks and items with specific data values using "minecraft:can_place_on" and "minecraft:can_destroy" will return an error stating the NBT "could not be updated, which seems to be an unintended bug in this case.

/give @s cobblestone 64 0 {"minecraft:can_place_on":{"blocks":["stained_glass:2"]}}

/give @a wooden_axe 16 0 {"minecraft:can_destroy":{"blocks":["wool:5"]}}

Similarly to the issue above, specifying commands that generally do not make sense will also return a "could not be updated" error. Some examples include:

/give @a diamond 10 0 {"minecraft:can_place_on":{"blocks":["dirt"]}}

(cannot place items on blocks)

Giving in trade/Loot-tables

It is currently not possible to set NBT via loot tables or trade tables. If you want to sell NBT-powered items, you will need to use a workaround of some kind or another, such as cloning chests containing items with pre-existing NBT.
