Minecraft Entity List (Java Edition 1.16)
In Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.16, each entity has a unique entity value assigned to it. These entity values are used in /summon and /data commands.
Traditionally an entity is a mob which is a living creature that moves around in the game. This is true in most cases. However, there are a handful of entities that are items with data tags you can change in the game such as an armor stand or a painting.
This Minecraft Entity List also includes the new piglin brute which was introduced in Java Edition 1.16.2.

- Entity Value is the string value used in game commands.
- Description is the description of what the entity is.

Example of how to use an Entity Value in /summon command
The entity value comes in handy when you want to summon an entity such as a creeper, zombie or piglin.
For example, you use the entity value of piglin in the /summon command when you want to summon a baby piglin.
/summon piglin ~ ~ ~ {IsBaby:1}
Example of how to use an Entity Value in /data command
You can use the entity value when you want to change a data tag for an entity.
For example, you use the entity value of piglin in the /data command when you want to give a custom name of Gold Lover to the nearest piglin.
/data merge entity @e[type=piglin,limit=1,sort=nearest] {CustomName:""Gold Lover""}
