[MC-117830] Summoning with equipment tag doesn't work

Using /summon with an equipment tag completely ignores the equipment tag.

1) Summon a zombie using this command :
/summon Zombie ~ ~ ~ {Equipment:[{id:stone_sword,Count:1b},{},{},{},{}]}

2) Witness the zombie spawning without the sword

I tried putting the minecraft: before the item names and tweaking around the Count, but every try has been a failure, so I think there actually is something wrong. Either that or the system has changed without me knowing.

This is a fairly old issue (updated as of 1.9, I think). It was updated in favor of two new tags:

HandItems:[{},{}] (Two for dual-wielding)
ArmorItems:[{},{},{},{}] (For the four armor slots)

Try this for the zombie:

/summon Zombie ~ ~ ~ {HandItems:[{id:stone_sword,Count:1b},{}],ArmorItems:[{},{},{},{}]}

Equipment and DropChances are replaced with ArmorItems, HandItems, ArmorDropChances and HandDropChances since 1.9.
