Problem/Bug Welp, my dear command.

I am not a skilled developer, so don't judge meh.

I'm trying to make a custom command for test (to find out how they work) and make it for example give u dirt. Well, I've gone all over and nothing helped. Something like
tornado
- give $1- minecraft:dirt

told me the help for /give.
> I did /give Alexondrou
it said "can't find item"
> I did /give dirt
it said "can't find player"

 

@Alexondrou, If you're trying to command a plugin that runs the command for giving dirt, can I see what you have so far? If It's just Vanilla (You used /give) the correct syntax is /give PLAYER ITEM.
For example: /give Wispyy dirt

 

Are you developing a plugin or configuring one that already exists? If you're using a plugin like BetterAlias then please post the config on http://pastebin.com/ and link the URL here.

 

Sorry guys, I found it out after googling. I was trying to use bukkit commands just to make commands for my server. I got it all working. Thx!
