How to Give a Debug Stick in Minecraft
This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a special item called a debug stick that looks a lot like an enchanted stick.
In Minecraft, a debug stick is an item that you can not make with a crafting table or furnace. Instead you need to use the cheat called the /give command to get this item in the game.
Let's explore how to use cheats (game commands) to add a debug stick to your inventory.

How to Enter the Command
1. Open the Chat Window
The easiest way to run a command in Minecraft is within the chat window. The game control to open the chat window depends on the version of Minecraft:
- For Java Edition (PC/Mac), press the T key to open the chat window.
2. Type the Command
In this example, we will give 1 debug stick to the player called DigMinecraft with the following command:
/give DigMinecraft debug_stick 1
Type the command in the chat window. As you are typing, you will see the command appear in the lower left corner of the game window. Press the Enter key to run the command.
Once the cheat has been entered, the debug stick will be added to the player's inventory.
You will see the message "Gave 1 [Debug Stick] to DigMinecraft" appear in the lower left corner of the game window. You have now given 1 debug stick to the player called DigMinecraft.
Congratulations, you have learned how to craft a debug stick using the /give command in Minecraft.
