Can I /clone relative to entities, not the command block?

I am trying to make a map where you have to make a village from scratch, and I need help. I'm trying to make a /clone command happen relative to where a mob that's named house is, and I cant figure it out. Any help?

Best Answer

Yes, use the /execute command.

The syntax you want is:

/execute <entity> <x> <y> <z> <command>

For example, to execute the clone command from an entity called "CloneMarker", you could do:

/execute @e[name=CloneMarker] ~ ~ ~ /clone ~ ~ ~ ~5 ~5 ~5 ~10 ~10 ~10

Can you clone entities in Minecraft?

There is no command that would take entity A and make entity A'. You always need to create new entity in vanilla Minecraft. However if you want to take entity A and re-summon it somewhere else, you can. All you need is to have the command what summoned that first entity and reuse it (for example via redstone clock).
