If a creeper is ignited with flint and steel or commands, using the /data
command afterwards to modify its ignited
NBT tag to 0b has no effect.
How to reproduce:
Summon a creeper.
Place a command block with the following command in it:
/data merge entity @n[type=minecraft:creeper] {ignited:0b}
Place a button on the command block.
Use a flint and steel on the creeper and quickly activate the command block.
→ ❌ The creeper still explodes.
Expected result:
Since the ignited
tag was manually set to 0b, its value should be 0b, so the creeper should not explode.
Observed result:
The ignited
tag is still equal to 1b, so the creeper still explodes.
