How to give yourself items in Minecraft
Type /give @p minecraft:diamond_sword 1 in chat as an operator, or give Steve minecraft:oak_log 64 in the server console to give a player items.
give
Puts items into players' inventories, with an optional count and item components such as enchantments or names.
/give <targets> <item> [<count>] Examples
/give @p minecraft:diamond_sword 1 Gives the nearest player a diamond sword.
/give Steve minecraft:oak_log 64 Gives Steve a full stack of oak logs.
give @a minecraft:golden_apple 3 From the server console, without the slash.
Arguments
targetsRequired- Player name or selector, such as
@por@a. itemRequired- Item ID, optionally with components in
[ ]. countOptional- How many to give, at least 1. Defaults to 1.
What it does
The item goes straight into the inventory; anything that does not fit drops at the player's feet. The minecraft: prefix is optional, and you can add item components in square brackets after the ID to set custom names, enchantments and similar data. A count larger than one stack is split into several stacks.
Good to know
- Needs operator permission level 2.
- In the console there is no nearest player, so use a name or
@a.
Run it on your server
On a SLASHPLAY server, type it in the Console tab without the leading slash; in game, operators type it in chat with the slash. New to this? Start a Minecraft server first.
