Hello there!

Here i am again, today with a li´l blog about Commands. What i will be going through is a new feature in the newest snapshots for 1.8: Item customisation. OBSERVE THAT THIS WILL ONLY WORK IN LATEST 1.8 SNAPSHOTS!

So, here is the command:

/summon Item ~ ~1 ~ {Item:{id:minecraft:stone,Count:1}


So, this is the old command, and now you only spawn a dropped down stone block. Now, i will learn you how to: Control the despawn time of the item, and prevent the item from ever despawning/causing the inability to pick it up!



So, first of, i will show how to control the despawn time of the item:




/summon Item ~ ~1 ~ {Item:{id:minecraft:stone,Count:1},Age:60}




Now, with this command, the item will despawn after 60 seconds. This can, of course, be replaced with other numbers, to make it despawn after a longer time, or a shorter time.



So, now to the ability to prevent the item from ever despawning:




/summon Item ~ ~1 ~ {Item:{id:minecraft:stone,Count:1},Age:-32768}




As you can see, the Age is set to -32768. This means that the item will not despawn. 




Next, items with the inability of picking up:




/summon Item ~ ~1 ~ {Item:{id:minecraft:stone,Count:1},PickupDelay:32767}




Now, as you can see, the Pickupdelay is set to 32767. This means that the item will not get picked up. Of course, the PickupDelay, in the same way as the Age, can be changed to change the time of when the item will get picked up. For example: You can set it so the item only gets picked up after 5 seconds. 



Of course, also the item ID and the Count can be changed too, so u can create other items, and joke your friends with unpickupable diamonds :)



As usual, the Age and Pickupdelay can be combined:




/summon Item ~ ~1 ~ {Item:{id:minecraft:stone,Count:1},Age:-32768,PickupDelay:32767}



Now, you have summoned a stone block that will be in its place, until it gets thrown down in the void. None will be able to pick it up, neither will it expire. Why is this good? Well, the main use for it is to have it in multiplayer shops, as display instead of items in item frames, because, you know, you gotta show your command skills :)




So, liked this blog? Did it help you? Then, may i kindly ask you for a diamond? If you want to see more of this, tell me in the comment section so i don't think this is a waste of both your and my time.

Thank you for pop reel!
