I know that I can make certain blocks only placeable on a specified block, but what is the command to give an item that can only BREAK certain blocks?

Use the CanDestroy tag on tools:

/give @p minecraft:diamond_pickaxe 1 0 {CanDestroy:["minecraft:stone","minecraft:stonebrick"]}

This will give you an diamond pickaxe that can only break stone and stone bricks.

This will only work in adventure mode.

  • 1.13 syntax: /give @p minecraft:diamond_pickaxe{CanDestroy:["minecraft:stone","minecraft:stonebrick"]} – pppery Aug 8 '19 at 0:12

You add the tag Can destroy and then list the items you want destroyed. Tip: It's much easier to just put stone than minecraft:stone although if it doesn't work, don't do it.

/give @p minecraft:wooden_shovel 1 0 {CanDestroy:["minecraft:dirt"],Unbreakable:1} is how you do it, as well as make it unbreakable.

    Please do not post if you cannot add anything new. – aytimothy Jun 18 '17 at 2:44

    @aytimothy, He did add the Unbreakable although it wasn't requested. – Vahx Jun 18 '17 at 7:12
  • @Vahx So it essentially doesn't add anything useful: you can't just add some random information to make it viable. – Joachim Oct 19 '19 at 17:19
