• query is too long to fit on the screen
  • use variables and buffer. For example:
    /nbt item query1.query2.query3.query4.query5.query6.query7 = block queryA.queryB.queryC.queryD.queryE
    replaces to
    /nbt block queryA.queryB.queryC.queryD.queryE copy
    /nbt item query1.query2.query3.query4.query5.query6.query7 = buffer
    or
    /nbt item query1.query2.query3.query4.query5 as %foo
    /nbt block queryA.queryB.queryC.queryD.queryE as %bar
    /nbt %foo query6.query7 = %bar
    You can use variables with items only for one time!
    After first editing ItemStack has a copy that not updated in inventory
    i.e. next command /nbt %foo query = value has no effect.
