Gives an item to a player.

;Syntax

: <code>give <''player''> <''item''> [''amount''] [''data''] [''dataTag'']</code>

;Arguments

: ''player''
:: Specifies the target to give item(s) to. Must be a player name or [[#Target selectors|target selector]].

: ''item''
:: Specifies the item to give. Must be a valid [[Data values#Item IDs|item id]] (for example, <code>minecraft:iron_shovel</code>), or [[Data values#Block IDs|block id]] for which items exist. Numerical ids are unsupported.

: ''amount'' (optional)
:: Specifies the number of items to give. Must be between 1 and 64 (inclusive), but can be 64 even when that's more than one stack. If not specified, defaults to <code>1</code>.

: ''data'' (optional)
:: Specifies the [[Player.dat format#Item structure|item data]] of the given item(s). Must be an integer between -2,147,483,648 and 2,147,483,647 (inclusive, without the commas), but values which are invalid for the specified item id revert to 0. If not specified, defaults to 0.

: ''dataTag'' (optional)
:: Specifies the data tag of the given item(s). Must be a compound [[NBT tag]] (for example, <code>{display:{Name:Fred}}</code>).

;Result

: Fails if the arguments are not specified correctly, or if ''player'' fails to resolve to one or more online players.

: On success, summons the specified item(s) at the location(s) of the target(s). If ''player'' resolves to multiple targets, each receives the specified number of items. The [[Chunk format#Items|item entity]]'s Owner tag is set to the target and its PickupDelay tag set to 0{{verify}} so that it immediately enters the target's inventory if there is room.

;Examples

: To summon 30 blocks of spruce wood planks at John's location with Lore that says "Wooden planks":
:: <code>give John minecraft:planks 30 1 {display:{Lore:["Wooden planks"]}}</code>

:To give Block of Diamond that can be placed on dirt and can break quartz block that can be done in adventure mode.
:: <code>give John minecraft:diamond_block 1 0 {CanPlaceOn:["minecraft:dirt"],CanDestroy:["minecraft:quartz_block"]}</code>
