Minecraft Give Command Generator for Java

A ready-to-use /give command in the syntax of your Minecraft version. A diamond sword with Sharpness V, Looting III, Sweeping Edge III, Fire Aspect II, Unbreaking III, Mending I and the name “God Sword” in gold, bold and not italic looks like this for Java 1.21.5+: /give @p minecraft:diamond_sword[custom_name={text:"God Sword",color:"gold",bold:true,italic:false},enchantments={"minecraft:sharpness":5,"minecraft:looting":3,"minecraft:sweeping_edge":3,"minecraft:fire_aspect":2,"minecraft:unbreaking":3,"minecraft:mending":1}] 1. For Java 1.20.5 – 1.21.4, it becomes /give @p minecraft:diamond_sword[custom_name='{"text":"God Sword","color":"gold","bold":true,"italic":false}',enchantments={"minecraft:sharpness":5,"minecraft:looting":3,"minecraft:sweeping_edge":3,"minecraft:fire_aspect":2,"minecraft:unbreaking":3,"minecraft:mending":1}] 1; for Java 1.13 – 1.20.4, /give @p minecraft:diamond_sword{display:{Name:'{"text":"God Sword","color":"gold","bold":true,"italic":false}'},Enchantments:[{id:"minecraft:sharpness",lvl:5},{id:"minecraft:looting",lvl:3},{id:"minecraft:sweeping_edge",lvl:3},{id:"minecraft:fire_aspect",lvl:2},{id:"minecraft:unbreaking",lvl:3},{id:"minecraft:mending",lvl:1}]} 1; and for Java 1.12 and below, without color, /give @p 276 1 0 {display:{Name:"God Sword"},ench:[{id:16,lvl:5},{id:21,lvl:3},{id:22,lvl:3},{id:20,lvl:2},{id:34,lvl:3},{id:70,lvl:1}]}.

The format is /give <target> <item> <amount>. In the generator, select the version, target, item, and amount, then click “Copy command”. Open chat in Minecraft with T, paste the command, and press Enter. Enter @a in “Player / Target” to give the item to all players, or set the amount to 64 to give a full stack.

Usually, the selected version doesn't match your game. The syntax changed substantially in 1.13 and again in 1.20.5, so a command in the 1.20.5+ format won't work on a 1.20.4 server. Since 1.21.5, name and lore are also written differently: if you generate the command with the 1.20.5–1.21.4 option, the item shows the raw JSON text instead of the name. You also need OP permissions or cheats enabled; otherwise, Minecraft rejects slash commands.

In single-player, enable “Allow Cheats” when creating the world, or open the world to LAN with cheats enabled. On a server, someone with access to the server console can give you OP permissions using /op <playername>. The generator doesn't grant permissions; it only creates the command.

Not in the generator. It limits each level to the vanilla maximum, such as Sharpness V. For higher levels, edit the number in the copied command manually or use plugins or datapacks. If you select two conflicting enchantments, such as Sharpness and Smite, the tool still generates the command and warns you.

The list contains 120 common items: tools, armor, combat gear, food, materials, potions, and more. For building blocks and anything else, such as a command block, use the “Or enter a custom item ID” field—for example, command_block. For 1.12 and older, the generator only knows the numeric IDs of items in the list.

No. The generator only supports Java Edition; Bedrock Edition uses different command syntax. It also creates only /give commands for items, not /summon, /effect, or /xp commands.

Yes. Below the name and below each lore line, you pick one of the 16 Minecraft colors, or a custom hex color from 1.20.5 on, and set bold and italic. The generator writes this into the command as a text component with color, bold, and italic: as SNBT from 1.21.5 on, as JSON text for 1.13–1.21.4. That way, the colored name also works when you paste the command into chat or a command block. Formatting codes with the section sign (§, such as §5), on the other hand, are removed by Minecraft when you paste them there; they only work in datapack functions or from the server console. For 1.12 and older, there is no color selection.
