Itemstrings

Itemstrings are the internal names for items, blocks, nodes (everything which can be stored in an inventory).

Syntax

An usual itemstring consists of a the name of the mod where the item originates from followed by a “:” followed by an item name. All itemstrings are case sensitive.

<mod_name>:<item_name>

Examples:

• default:torch — a torch (from mod “default”)
• default:dirt — dirt (from mod “default”)
• farming:bread — bread (from mod “farming”)
• wool:orange — orange wool (from mod “wool”)
• screwdriver:screwdriver — screwdriver (from mod “screwdriver”)

There are itemstrings which don’t follow the syntax rules, see #Special itemstrings.

Usages

Itemstrings can be used as arguments used for the /give and /giveme commands.

Example: /giveme default:torch—give yourself a torch

Special itemstrings

There are itemstrings which do not follow the usual syntax rules. These itemstrings are always available, regardless of the activated mods:

• air — used for Air
• ignore — used to represent nodes in unloaded areas. Unlike air, it is opaque and walkable. No fall damage is received for falling on it. If a player or a mod attempts placing it, an error message will be shown and no node will be placed.
