Why does my old /give command no longer work?

In 1.20.5 the curly-brace NBT format was replaced by square-bracket components. A 1.20.5+ server rejects the old format, which is why the tool asks for the version.

Can I give an enchantment above the normal level?

The command allows levels above the enchanting table, but not every effect keeps growing past its maximum.

How is /tellraw different from /title?

Tellraw writes in chat and supports clicks, while title shows large text in the middle of the screen.

Can a click run a command?

Yes, the run_command action runs a command as the player, with their permissions.

Why did the click in my old command stop working?

Version 1.21.5 renamed the fields: clickEvent is now click_event, hoverEvent is hover_event, and the link, the command and the tooltip text have their own url, command and value fields. The tool asks for the version and writes the command in the format your server understands.

Which shape should I use for a show?

A large ball fills the sky, a star and creeper read well up close, and a burst looks good in a series.

How is /summon different from /give?

Give puts the rocket in your hand, while summon launches it at a given spot right away, which suits command block shows.

Why is level II written as 1 in the command?

Commands count amplifiers from zero, so level I is 0 and level II is 1. The tool converts it for you.

Can I combine several effects in one potion?

Yes, through /give with the potion_contents component. Survival cannot brew it, but the command can give it.

How many layers can I add?

A loom allows 6 layers, but /give accepts more. The tool warns when you go past the loom limit.

Can I put the banner on a shield?

Yes, crafting a banner with a shield puts the pattern on the shield. The tool builds the shield version directly.

Seven items through the /give generator

The same name, lore and enchantment in two formats, because a server rejects the syntax of another version, and what the tool does with the count, the prefix and an empty field.
