 Description   

Under certain circumstances, the command block will not perform the wanted action with the "/give" command

example:

While trying to make the command block give the item "chiseled stone" I typed in the command "/give @p 98:3 1", after activating it it gave me nothing.

I then tried "/give @p 98;3 1" and "/give @p 98-3 1" and neither worked

then, trying "/give @p 98 3 1" it gave me 3 mossy stone bricks, "/give @p 98 3" also gives the player mossy stone bricks.

I am not sure what to make of this bug, but it is rather strange and simply want to make sure you know of it.

Sincerely,
Vorland

The syntax of the give command is

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

so if you want to give one chiseled stone block it's

give @p 98 1 3

RTFM at http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/SMP_Server_commands

I might not understand what the issues is. "/give @p 98;3 1" and "/give @p 98-3 1" are not valid because of the semi-colon and the hyphen.

As for the Chiseled Stone Brick, could I suggest changing the data value to four?

Are you saying that this command /give @p 98:3 1 works when you enter it in the terminal?
