Minecraft 1.13 /give command syntax

minecraft-commandsminecraft-java-edition

I know that typing /give @p minecraft:redsstone_torch 1 0 {CanPlaceOn:["minecraft:grass"]} in the past used to give a player a redstone torch that can be placed on grass for adventure mode, but when I try doing that in the new 1.13 snapshot, it highlights the canPlaceOn section in red (meaning it won't work). Does anybody know how it is supposed to be typed in the new syntax?

The syntax has changed to:

/give <players> <item> <count>

where <item> is a combination of ID and NBT (for blocks it's similar, but with state in [] between ID and NBT). So your command is then:

/give @p minecraft:redstone_torch{CanPlaceOn:["minecraft:grass"]} 1

or alternatively with @s, no minecraft: in the IDs (since it's default anyway) and without count (since 1 is default):

/give @s redstone_torch{CanPlaceOn:["grass"]}

Bonus: Maybe you'll be interested in block tags (archive).

Try to give to the first gold block a name:

/give @p gold_block 1 0 {display:{Name:"a name"}}

And then run the /clear command like this:

/clear @p gold_block 0 1 {display:{Name:"a name"}}

This command will clear only the golden block that has the name "a name".

Now give your SPECIAL BLOCK, but with another name:

/give @p gold_block 1 0 {CanPlaceOn:[grass],display:{Name:"SPECIAL BLOCK"}}

You need to put another name that the clear command block doesn't affect.

Page data is saved in the pages list. All item data that isn't the root id, Damage, Count, or Slot tags, must be placed within a single tag compound.

As well, when testing for pre-existing data, you must test for it exactly as it's saved. Item IDs are saved with the namespace (defaulting to "minecraft"), so you have to specify that. The correct ID for a book an quill is "minecraft:writable_book". All tags are case-sensitive, so it would be "Damage" rather than "damage", though this value is not used with that item so does not need to be specified.

/testfor @a {Inventory:[{id:"minecraft:writable_book",tag:{pages:["abcdefg"]}}]}

Keep in mind that you cannot specify which page in the book to look at; it will instead look through every element on the target list for a match.
