How can I give myself a damaged item on 1.13?

Question

I don't understand how the json code works in Minecraft, so I'm wondering how can I give myself a "damaged" item using commands?

I tried to use the old 1.12.2 way where you would just add the damage, like

/give @s minecraft:elytra 1 50

with 50 being damage, but it no longer functions correctly, and fails to parse in 1.13 and 1.13.1

Answer 1

The /give command in Minecraft 1.13 has been changed to this format:

give <player>[<selectors>] <item>[<NBT>] [<count>]

Knowing the NBT tag for damage being Damage, I wrote this command. (Don't currently have minecraft installed to test it, but it should work.)

/give @p minecraft:elytra{Damage:50} 1

This page on the /give command and this one showing what tags you can apply to items should be helpful in understanding how to use them.

Answer 2

This one command is the updated one for 1.13+ (/give @p minecraft:elytra{Damage:500} 1)

500 being the damaged one.

I hope this helps
