Have problem with the "give" command

Question

It's that command:

/give @p diamond_block 1 0 {display:{Name:"Extreme Route #1 Prize"},ench:[{id:20,lvl:27},{id:16,lvl:2727}],HideFlags:127}

And I want to add {CanPlaceOn:["quartz_stairs"]}.

But the command block is saying: Data tag parsing failed: Trailing data found at: ...},{id:16,lvl:2727}],HideFlags:127},<--[HERE]

The command works perfectly without the "can place on". What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

The command you need is:

/give @p diamond_block 1 0 {display:{Name:"Extreme Route #1 Prize"},ench:[{id:20,lvl:27},{id:16,lvl:2727}],HideFlags:127,CanPlaceOn:["quartz_stairs"]}

(assuming both parts of your given command are correct in themselves, I didn't check that)

Since you didn't provide the problematic command, I can't tell you more about your problem. The error message looks like you had a closing bracket too much or maybe at the wrong position, but I can't say for sure.

Answer 2

You are adding the information outside of the data tag list.

Lets simplify the data portion of your original command and add a bunch of extra spaces for visual clarity:

{  display:{...}, ench:[...], HideFlags:127  }

A list with three items in it. When you added CanPlaceOn, you added it outside of that list like this:

{display:{...},ench:[...],HideFlags:127},   {CanPlaceOn:[...]}

This is why the error mentions trailing data. It noticed the list was done and there was extra stuff after the list. You want to add that CanPlaceOn inside the list as another list item like this:

{  display:{...}, ench:[...], HideFlags:127, CanPlaceOn:[...]  }

Now it is part of the list which makes up the data tag. A list with 4 items. Here is the correct command:

/give @p diamond_block 1 0 {display:{Name:"Extreme Route #1 Prize"},ench:[{id:20,lvl:27},{id:16,lvl:2727}],HideFlags:127,CanPlaceOn:["quartz_stairs"]}

Which gives us:

Without the hideflags:
