Frequently asked questions

How do I give myself Shield in Minecraft?: Enable cheats (or use OP on a server), open chat with T or /, paste /give @p minecraft:shield 1 and press Enter. The item appears in your inventory immediately.
Does the Shield give command work on Bedrock Edition?: Yes — use /give @p shield 1. Bedrock omits the "minecraft:" namespace prefix. Enchantments must be added separately with /enchant after giving the item.
Can I give Shield to another player?: Replace @p with the player's username or @a (all players). For example: /give PlayerName minecraft:shield 1.
