Gives a specified amount of a certain item to one or more players.

Usage

Gives the specified item(s) to the target(s). If <targets> or player: target resolves to multiple targets, each receives the specified number of items.

If there is enough room in the player's inventory, or the player is in creative mode, gives the specified item(s). In Java Edition, this also summons a "fake" item entity, with its PickupDelay tag set to 32767 and its Age tag set to 5999, which would make it impossible to be picked up, and have it despawn within one tick.

If there is not enough room in the player's inventory, and the player is not in creative mode, gives the specified item(s) until the inventory is full, and summons the rest items as a item entity dropped by the player. In Java Edition, the item's Owner tag is set to the target and its PickupDelay tag is set to 0 so that it can be picked up only by that player at any time. In Bedrock Edition, the item entity is dropped by the player as normal, having a 10-tick pickup delay and being able to be picked up by any entity. In Bedrock Edition, when dropping the item entity, the item using progress of the player is discarded. In Bedrock Edition, the "Use doors and switches" option (in the "Player Permission" screen) disables the player to drop any item entity, even caused by the /give command.
