Frequently asked questions

Does Give a Jigsaw Block work on Bedrock Edition?

Jigsaw blocks exist in Bedrock's engine but aren't obtainable or configurable in survival/creative — this is effectively a Java tool.

Do you need OP or cheats enabled to use Give a Jigsaw Block?

Yes — you need operator permissions (OP) on a server, or cheats enabled in your world settings (Java: open to LAN with cheats on; Bedrock: enable cheats in world settings).

Can Give a Jigsaw Block be used in a command block?

Yes — paste the command into a command block and activate it with a button or redstone signal. Remove the leading slash when using a command block.

Who receives the item when you run Give a Jigsaw Block?

The @p selector targets the nearest player (usually yourself in singleplayer). Replace @p with a specific player name to give the item to someone else.

How do I change the quantity given by Give a Jigsaw Block?

Change the count number at the end of the command. The default is 1; the maximum stack size depends on the item.
