These data values refer to the different types of blocks, items and other features on Java Edition and are used in many places in Minecraft. Block IDs are used to define blocks placed in the world. Item IDs are valid only for items (including items in chests and items dropped in the world). All block IDs that do not have a gray background in this page are also valid item IDs. There are also entity IDs for entities such as mobs and projectiles.

IDs

These IDs are in the resource location format, with their minecraft namespace omitted. The game accepts these resource locations either with or without the minecraft: prefix.
