Items, enchants & XP¶

Giving items¶

Command	Effect
`give @s diamond 64`	a stack of diamonds
`give Alice netherite_sword`	count defaults to 1
`give @a golden_apple 8`	8 to every player
`clear Alice`	empty entire inventory
`clear @s dirt`	remove all dirt only

Pre-enchanted gear uses the component syntax (1.20.5+):

give @s diamond_sword[enchantments={sharpness:5,unbreaking:3}]

For ≤ 1.20.4 use NBT instead:

give @s diamond_sword{Enchantments:[{id:sharpness,lvl:5}]}

1.21.0 – 1.21.4

The flattened enchantments={sharpness:5} form is 1.21.5+; earlier 1.21 releases use enchantments={levels:{sharpness:5}}.

Useful items¶

Item IDs worth knowing for give — gear sets combine a material prefix (netherite_, diamond_, iron_, golden_, stone_, wooden_, plus leather_/chainmail_ for armor) with the piece:

Category	Items
Gear sets	`sword` `pickaxe` `axe` `shovel` `hoe` · `helmet` `chestplate` `leggings` `boots`
Ranged	`bow` · `crossbow` · `arrow 64` · `trident` · `mace`
Survival	`shield` · `totem_of_undying` · `golden_apple` · `enchanted_golden_apple` · `cooked_beef 64` · `golden_carrot 64`
Mobility	`elytra` · `firework_rocket 64` · `ender_pearl 16` · `saddle`
Utility	`water_bucket` · `lava_bucket` · `flint_and_steel` · `torch 64` · `name_tag` · `lead` · `compass` · `recovery_compass` · `spyglass` · `experience_bottle 64`
Storage	`shulker_box` · `ender_chest` · `bundle`

God gear¶

Fully-enchanted kit, one command per piece (component syntax):

give @s netherite_sword[enchantments={sharpness:5,looting:3,sweeping_edge:3,fire_aspect:2,unbreaking:3,mending:1}]
give @s netherite_pickaxe[enchantments={efficiency:5,fortune:3,unbreaking:3,mending:1}]
give @s netherite_axe[enchantments={efficiency:5,sharpness:5,unbreaking:3,mending:1}]
give @s netherite_helmet[enchantments={protection:4,respiration:3,aqua_affinity:1,unbreaking:3,mending:1}]
give @s netherite_chestplate[enchantments={protection:4,unbreaking:3,mending:1}]
give @s netherite_leggings[enchantments={protection:4,unbreaking:3,mending:1}]
give @s netherite_boots[enchantments={protection:4,feather_falling:4,depth_strider:3,unbreaking:3,mending:1}]
give @s bow[enchantments={power:5,infinity:1,unbreaking:3}]
give @s trident[enchantments={loyalty:3,channeling:1,impaling:5,unbreaking:3,mending:1}]
give @s elytra[enchantments={unbreaking:3,mending:1}]

Swap fortune:3 for silk_touch:1 on a second pickaxe.
Mending + Infinity don't combine on bows — pick one.
Mace enchants: density:5 or breach:4 (exclusive), plus wind_burst:3.
Diamond instead of netherite? Just swap the netherite_ prefix for diamond_ — the enchantments are identical. Diamond is the early/mid-game pick (no ancient-debris grind); netherite is actually more durable (e.g. 2031 vs 1561 uses on tools) and survives lava — but with Unbreaking III + Mending, both effectively never wear out.

Enchanting & effects¶

Command	Effect
`enchant @s sharpness 5`	enchant held item
`effect give @s speed 120 2`	seconds, amplifier (= level 3)
`effect give @s night_vision infinite`	permanent until cleared
`effect clear @s`	remove all effects

enchant respects normal enchantment limits (level caps, item compatibility) — for over-the-top gear use give with components.
Effect amplifier is zero-based: amplifier 2 = level III.

Experience¶

Command	Effect
`xp add @s 30 levels`	also: `points`
`xp set Alice 0 points`	zero out partial bar
`xp query @s levels`	check current level
