Having problems with /replaceitem?
Then read this tutorial!
/replaceitem has /replaceitem entity OR /replaceitem block.
So you can do
/replaceitem block <x,y,z> <slot> <item> [amount] [data] [dataTag]
OR
/replaceitem entity <selector> <slot> <item> [amount] [data] [dataTag]
1.Explaining the /replaceitem entity.
The "entity" keyword sets it so you replaceitems in a entities inventory(villagers,players,zombies etc.)!
1.1 What is a <selector>?
Selectors can be @p,@e,@a,@r.
@p - closest player to the command block.
@e - entities.
@a - all players.
@r - random player.
Instead of the selector you can put the targets name, example:
/replaceitem entity Mr0Redmen ...
1.2 What are slots?
Slots are inventory areas where you put item,
like in your hotbar you have 9 slots.
Now here we don't use numbers to select slots, we use names.Example:
slot.armor.head
is the helmet slot.
To see all slots you can after typing the selector press tab or look it up on google(can't list theme here, maybe in another blog because there is a lot of them)!
1.3 What to type in item?
Basicly the name of the item, if you are new to 1.8 you can now use names only like: minecraft:grass or just grass.
1.4 Amount?
How much items you want to be placed in a entities inventory, this is optional, hence the [] brackets.
1.5 What is data?
Data or damage is a value that was first used to define the durability of tools, now many items use data/damage values to define stuff(like what color is a wool is defined by its data).
1.6 Whats a dataTag?
Data tag also know as the NBTtag is data that basicly has some more info on what the item is(What is written in book pages,what enchantments does a tool have,the name of the item and many many many more...)!
To see all NBTtags check out:
Minecraft Gamepedia NBT Tags
1.7 So how to replaceitem on entity?
For example:
/replaceitem entity Mr0Redmen slot.hotbar.4 diamond_sword 1 60 {ench:[{id:16,lvl:1}]}
This would put 1 enchanted diamond sword with sharpness 16 into my 5 hotbar slot that is a bit damaged.
2.Explaining /replaceitem block.
This basicly sets it so we manipulate the inventory of a block like a chest or dispenser.
1.1.What are x y z?
They are coordinates, you can check coordinates with the debug button(F3).
They basicly say at what coordinates the block is and then it manipulates the inventory of that block!
1.2.Slots?
I talked about theme in entity they are the exact same thing.
1.3 Items?
Also in entity.
1.4 Amount?
Check Entity.
1.5 Data?
Check Entity...
1.6 DataTag?
I talked about theme in Entity.
1.7 So i want to put in the second slot of a chest 3 diamond swords that are a bit damaged with the name "Mega Sword".
/replaceitem block ~ ~-1 ~ slot.container.1 diamond_sword 3 30 {display:{Name:"Mega Sword"}}

So that's about it if you still have a problem or need help with another command you can ask me in the comments!
I will be doing tutorials on more 1.8 commands!
