What Is a Minecraft ID?
In Minecraft, every block, item, and entity has a unique identifier called an Item ID. These IDs are used in commands like /give, /clear, /setblock, and many server plugins. Understanding item IDs is essential for command block creation, server administration, and advanced gameplay.
Types of Minecraft IDs
Minecraft items use three different ID formats:
- Item ID (String ID): The modern identifier format used since Minecraft 1.13, such as
minecraft:stoneorminecraft:diamond_sword. - Legacy Item ID: The old identifier format used before Minecraft 1.13's "Flattening" update.
- Numerical ID: The numeric ID format used in very old versions of Minecraft, such as
1for stone or276for a diamond sword.
How to Use Minecraft Item IDs
The most common use of item IDs is with the /give command. Here's the syntax:
/give @p minecraft:diamond_sword 1
This command gives the nearest player 1 diamond sword. You can replace @p with a player name, and minecraft:diamond_sword with any item ID from our database.
