How to Spawn In Lost Items in Minecraft | Akliz

Sometimes in Minecraft, you may die in a way that's unfair, or your items are lost in the void, or you simply don't want to travel all that way to get them.

Luckily, you have the option of simply spawning them in to get all your items back. Here's how to do that.

Spawn In Items by Going into Creative Mode Temporarily

If you need to recover lost items, you can temporarily switch to Creative Mode. Here’s how:

1. Become an Op – You need operator (Op) permissions on your server. To do this, open your server console and enter:
   op yourusername
   Replace yourusername with your actual Minecraft username.
   If you're unsure how to do this, check out our guide on Op a Player on a Minecraft Server.
2. Enter Creative Mode – In-game, type:
   1. /gamemode creative (For Minecraft 1.13+).
   2. /gamemode 1 (For Minecraft 1.12.2 and below).
3. Spawn In Your Items – Open your inventory and take any items you need. If you lost enchanted items, you can:
   1. Grab the item, enchantment books, and an anvil, then enchant them for free.
   2. Use the /enchant command to apply enchantments directly.
4. Return to Survival Mode – Once you’ve recovered your items, type:
   1. /gamemode survival (For Minecraft 1.13+).
   2. /gamemode 0 (For Minecraft 1.12.2 and below).

Use Commands to Spawn Items

If you don't want players entering Creative mode to restore lost items, the /give command can be used to give items to players. This can be used by players on themselves, or a server operator can use this command to give other players their items.

1. Become an Op – The player that will be using the /give command will need operator (Op) permissions in order to use the command. Check out this guide on how to become an Op.
2. Spawn in the Items – In chat, use the /give command to grant a player an item. The command syntax will appear as the following:
   /give <player> <item> <amount>
   1. The <player> can be a username or a target selector, such as @a for all players, @p for the nearest entity, and @s for the player sending the command.
   2. The <amount> is an optional field for the number of items. If left blank, only one of an item will be given.
   3. To help with getting the ID of an item to use in a command, use Tab autocomplete or enable Advanced Tooltips with F3+H to view an item's ID. The ID will be in dark gray text.
   4. Items can have additional data such as metadata or components. Check out the wiki for more information on giving items with data.
   5. Use the /enchant command to apply enchantments directly.

Get Your Items Back when Using a Gravestone Mod

Some modpacks may have a mod that adds graves that store your items. Many of these mods also have commands that let you restore your inventory without having to return to your grave. To find out what commands are available, check the mod’s wiki or its Curseforge page.

For example, the mod "You're in Grave Danger" uses the command /yigd restore to restore your last inventory you had when you died.

OpenBlocks has the command /ob_inventory restore playername.

Corail Tombstone uses the command /TBRestoreInventory. Many other grave mods will have similar commands so look into your modpack to see which grave mod it has!
