  • Glow Item Frame (with and without an item in it - Note: In 20w17a and above, the flame animation might not appear, but the Fire NBT tag is 100s)

  1. Give yourself a bow with Flame and some arrows
    /give @s minecraft:bow[minecraft:enchantments={levels:{"minecraft:flame":1}}]
  2. Summon one of the affected entities above is the invulnerable NBT tag
