The Give Command

The /give command is a useful command used everywhere.

Overview
The /give command gives the selected player(s) a certain amount of a certain item.

Syntax
/give [amount] [id] [ NBT'ed Item Code]

Explanation
The first value, the player, specifies the player(s) that the item(s) is given to. (See Introduction to Selectors.) The item value is simple, the Minecraft ID of the item(s) you want to give. The amount is the amount of the item(s) you want to give. The ID value specifies what type of item it is. For example, normal white wool has the ID of 0. But with an ID of 1, it will give orange wool. This is for blocks that are simply variations of others. Finally, the NBT'ed Item Code will be gone over on the NBT'ed Items page.
