Basic /give command
A simple command looks like /give @p minecraft:diamond_sword 1. The target selector, item ID and count must be correct. If one part is missing, Minecraft may show an incomplete command error.
Custom items and weapons
For custom item generator, weapon generator Minecraft, enchanted item generator and Minecraft give item command searches, start with the item ID, then add count, name, lore and enchantments. Test the command in a backup world before using it on a live server.
Common mistakes
- Using a Bedrock command in Java Edition or the opposite.
- Typing
minecraft/giveinstead of/give. - Missing a quote, bracket or comma in a custom item command.
- Using an old NBT example with a newer components-based command.
