About

The Summon command spawns a creature at the player's location. Unlike GiveItem or GiveItemNum, Summon places a living creature in the world rather than adding it to inventory.

You must provide the creature's entity ID, the same identifier used in creature spawn codes and configuration files. The spawned creature will be level 1, tamed or wild depending on the creature's default state, and will appear in front of you.

This command is useful for quick creature testing, populating a pen, or validating creature behavior without waiting for breeding or wild spawns.
