Some would say "why would we need /give? We have creative!) Well, to start of with, here is a list of some blocks that you can't get in the creative menu: • Water (id 8) (can look good in item frames) • Still Water (id 9) (water that doesn't flow. Easier than melting ice) • Lava (id 10) (can look good in item frames) • Still Lava (id 11) (lava that doesn't flow) • Command Block (id 137) (sure, it can't be used but it might look good in some builds) • Burning Furnace (id 62) (never stops burning) • Double Slabs (id: 43:0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 are all different kinds of double slabs) • Double Stone Slab (id: 43:8) (This is a double stone slab without the line on the side) • Fire (id 51) (looks very cool in item frames as it is animated) • Farmland (id 60) (don't know why you would want it but..) • Nether Portal (id 90) (looks cool in item frames) • Brown Mushroom block (id 99) • Red Mushroom block (id 100) • End Portal (id 119) (some people like them...) • Dragon Egg (id 122) • Command Block Minecart (id 422) (why not?) I probably missed some but these are the one i could think of. Now to the second part. There is a lot of data for items and block that you just can't get without commands. For example: • Attribute modifiers: generic.attackDamage generic.movementSpeed Example: Boots that makes you run faster /give Pippin_ minecraft:leather_boots 1 0 {display:{color:34816},Unbreakable:1,AttributeModifiers:[{AttributeName:"generic.movementSpeed",Name:"generic.movementSpeed",Amount:0.04,Operation:0,UUIDLeast:894654,UUIDMost:2872}]} There are more attribute modifiers but i don't mean to give you an tutorial • Skull owner for player skulls: This command will give you Natbyte's head: /give Pippin_ 397 1 3 {SkullOwner:"Natbyte"} • Custom enchantments: Using the give command you can get custom enchanted items. Example: /give Pippin_ 369 1 0 {ench:[{id:19,lvl:69}]} This command will give you a blaze rod with knockback level 69 • Custom colored leather items: /give Pippin_ minecraft:leather_boots 1 0 {display:{color:34816}} There's a lot more but i think i made my point. I hope you will add the /give command soon
I just realized that if we could use /give we could target @a (all players) which would be kind of annoying. Maybe we can get some kind of solution? Block the use of @a,@p and @r? Or maybe only architects could use the command?
