Display

Display entities are entities useful for map or data pack creators to display various things. There are Block Displays, Item Displays and Text Displays, which are used to display blocks, items and texts respectively. They can be created only with the /summon or /execute summon command.

Much like markers, display entities do not move, do not take damage, do not make sounds, and have no collision. They do not obstruct the placement of blocks, nor do they push players or other entities away from their own position. Unlike markers, display entities are sent to the client for rendering and do count toward in the E value (total amount of entities) listed on the debug screen.

Display entities have no hitbox. Using the debug key combination F3 + B, which normally draws the hitboxes of all visible entities, does not show a hitbox for display entities. Using F3 + I while aiming at a display entity does not copy the entity data to the clipboard.
