Minecraft Item ID List and /give Command Generator

F.A.Q.

• What is a Minecraft item ID?

  Every item and block in Minecraft has an internal identifier the game uses in commands, data packs and save files. Modern versions use a namespaced name such as minecraft:diamond_sword. Versions before 1.7.2 used a number instead, like 276.

• What is the difference between item IDs, legacy IDs and data values?

  There are three formats. The namespaced ID minecraft:oak_planks) is what every version from 1.7.2 onward uses. The numeric ID 5) is what 1.6.4 and earlier used. Data values are the number after a colon 5:1) that separated variants of the same block before the 1.13 flattening, when every variant became its own ID.

• How do I use an item ID in the /give command?

  On 1.13 and later the syntax is /give <target> <item> [count], so /give @s minecraft:diamond_sword 1. Pick an item above and the command is built for you, including the count and any data value the version needs.

• Why does the command change when I pick an older version?

  Because the syntax genuinely changed several times. Item names arrived in 1.7.2, @p and the other target selectors in 1.4.4, @s in 1.12, and commands were not available in single player at all until 1.3.1. Choosing 1.0 gives you the numeric ID and a player name, because that is the only form the game would have accepted.

• Do numeric item IDs still work?

  Not in commands. Numeric IDs were deprecated in 1.7 and removed entirely in the 1.13 flattening. They are still useful for reading old worlds, following pre-1.13 guides and working with older modpacks, which is why they are listed here.

• Does this cover modded items or Bedrock Edition?

  No, this list is vanilla Java Edition. Mods register their own IDs under their own namespace, such as create:cogwheel, and Bedrock uses a separate set of identifiers.

• How do I run these commands on my server?

  You need operator permissions, and cheats enabled if you are in single player. On a Nodecraft server you can run the command from the console or in game once you have opped yourself.
