About Minecraft Combat Item IDs

65catalog entries
Javamodern namespaced IDs
1.13+current ID format

Use this page to search the 65 entries currently reviewed in the combat catalog. Each result opens a dedicated page with the copyable item ID and a ready-to-use /give command.

Common reasons to use these IDs

  • creating combat kits
  • copying weapon and armor IDs
  • linking defensive gear with the materials needed to craft or upgrade it
What is the strongest weapon in Minecraft?

For pure melee, a netherite sword with Sharpness V is the classic answer, while the mace deals the highest single-hit damage with falling smash attacks. Bows and crossbows with Power V cover ranged combat, and the trident handles both roles.

Can you craft a trident or mace?

The mace is crafted from a breeze rod and a heavy core from trial chambers. The trident cannot be crafted at all; it only drops from drowned that spawn holding one. Both appear in this catalog with their item IDs for commands.

Do armor pieces have separate IDs per slot?

Yes. Every armor piece is its own item: minecraft:diamond_helmet, minecraft:diamond_chestplate, minecraft:diamond_leggings, and minecraft:diamond_boots are four distinct IDs, and the same holds for every material tier.

How many combat are in this catalog?

This catalog currently lists 65 reviewed combat entries. It is an expanded core catalog of the most-searched entries, not a complete list of every one in the game.

What ID format do these entries use?

Every entry uses the modern Java Edition namespaced ID format, such as minecraft:stone, which has been the current ID format since version 1.13.

  2. Open the matching item page to check its current ID and any reviewed historical-ID note.
  3. Copy the item ID or customize its /give command for your player and quantity.
