Force item entity motion to update every tick.

[dreamy tundra]

Is there a way to do this? I'm trying to make item entities float and they glitch around a lot probably because they don't update their motion every tick or something like that.

I read something somewhere about Air toggling, changing the air nbt of the item entity every tick to force an update but It doesn't seem to work, maybe it only worked in older versions?

Legendary, this works so well now, it's even improved what I was doing with the mobs Thanks DinoBrik

You can't give the player the nogravity tag can you

[fathom crest]

No, you can't modify player NBT
