What is the spawn code for pine wood in Minecraft?

Question

What spawn code do I need to use to spawn pine sapling in multiplayer? On some website I saw something like 17-1 (17 for the sapling, and 1 for pine since 1 is the type of a sapling).. But when I try spawning 17-1, i get the "There's no item with id 17-1" message. Oh and I tried googleing, but can't find the code anywhere.. Hints? Thank you.

(using up-to-date Minecraft 1.7)

Answer 1

Vanilla support for this has been added. The syntax is:

/give <playername> <data-value> [amount] [damage-value]

Note that if you specify a damage value, you must specify an amount.

So for this specific case, you would use:

/give <your-name> 6 <how-much-you-want> 1

Answer 2

You can't spawn things with special data attached in the base game, such as pine saplings or colored wool.

You need a mod, like bukkit.

Then, the command would be /give BlueRaja 6:1 64

Answer 3

Update

Ok, I've actually set up a server on my machine and tested this, it appears that with a vanilla Minecraft server the suffices for different types of sapling do not work, so you can only spawn 'plain' saplings.

From the wiki it appears to be 6. Try 6:1.

Answer 4

try 6:1, the hex decimal at the back (different wool or saplings) is usually separated by a colon (:). does not work anymore

Edit: go into creative mode by typing. /gamemode yourname 1
