Why won't my Minecraft Grinch summon command work?

My friends and I are building a Christmas themed adventure map and one of the 5 challenges is a Grinch battle. It is a Zombie with an invisible guardian on top and the head of a monster. The Guardian and Zombie both have loads of Attributes. In the command block I put:
/summon Guardian 57 68 381 {ActiveEffects:[0:{Id:14,Duration:9999999,Amplifier:1,ShowParticles:0}],Attributes:[{Name:generic.maxHealth,Base:200},{Name:generic.attackDamage,Base:10}], Riding:{id:Zombie, Attributes:[{Name:generic.maxHealth,Base:200},{Name:generic.movementSpeed,Base:0.2},{Name:generic.attackDamage,Base:10}],{CustomName:Boss,CustomNameVisible:1,Attributes:[{},{},{}],Equipment:[{},{},{},{},{id:skull,Damage:3,tag:{SkullOwner:MHF_Blaze}}],CustomName:Grinch,CustomNameVisible:1}}}
It should in theory work but it doesn't in the bottom of the command block it says this:
Data tag parsing failed: Unable to locate name/value separator for string: {CustomName:Boss,CustomNameVisible:1,Attributes:[{},{},{}],Equipment:[{},{},{},{},{id:skull,Damage:3,tag:{SkullOwner:MHF_Blaze}}],CustomName:Grinch,CustomNameVisible:1}
Please can someone help!

There are superfluous curly braces ({}
) around the erroneous string. Remove those. Also, you specify the Zombie's CustomName
and CustomNameVisible
twice.
When facing data tag syntax problems, it is often helpful to explode the view in a suitable text editor that supports syntax highlighting, such as Notepad++.
Riding:
{
id:Zombie,
Attributes:[
{
Name:generic.maxHealth,
Base:200
},{
Name:generic.movementSpeed,
Base:0.2
},{
Name:generic.attackDamage,
Base:10
}],
{
CustomName:Boss,
CustomNameVisible:1,
Attributes:[{},{},{}],
Equipment:[{},{},{},{},{id:skull,Damage:3,tag:{SkullOwner:MHF_Blaze}}],
CustomName:Grinch,
CustomNameVisible:1
}
}
You can easily see that after closing Attributes
, you start a compound tag (open curly braces), but there's no tag to assign this value. Remove these braces, and CustomName: ...
is correctly the same level as id
and Attributes
.
