Title: How do I give items like colored wool, different woods, and maps in smp?
Question: I know items such as these have data values and damage values associated with them, but I don't know how to set the damage value while  /give ing these items to players.  I have seen the  /give player data_value:damage_amount quantity  notation used before but that doesn't work on a vanilla server. What mods/plugins do I need for this to work?

Answers:
sents: text: The damage_amount part of the /give player data_value:damage_amount quantity notation only works when you install the Essentials plugin for Bukkit .
text: For example: /give player_name 35:1 quantity gives you orange wool /give
text: player_name
text: 35:2 quantity gives you magenta wool /give
text: player_name
text: 44:3 quantity gives you cobblestone slabs /give
text: player_name
text: 358:1 quantity gives you map_1 Note that this syntax also works for the /i command, except it does not require the player_name variable (giving yourself).

sents: text: Any OP in a vanilla server can give blocks through the syntax "/give player block_id quantity" such as "/give
text: chands 20 64" to give yourself 64 glass.
text: You can use the Bukkit server which allows plugins to be easily installed.
text: I believe the command I'm thinking of is in Bukkit Essentials which allows the following.
text: "/i dirt"
text: - Gives yourself 64 dirt "/i ch dirt"
text: - It would give the first player with that contains 'ch' a stack of 64 dirt.
text: EDIT: I forgot to mention the official server does not allow damage values which is how the game treats wool, wood, and birches as unique blocks.
text: There is also a plugin called 'World Edit'.
text: It's a very powerful tool.
text: You select two
text: x/y coordinates and can do many things.
text: Replace, remove, or set a block type.
text: Stack the selected blocks so you can create a repeating pattern (a wall, bridge, etc) and it'll repeat it in the selected direction x amount of times.
text: All sorts of stuff.

sents: text: Besides the already mentioned Essentials plugin for bukkit , you can also use the CommandBook plugin .
text: Just compare which has the features you prefer - CommandBook (as well as essentials) supports item names, e.g. you can use /give chands Wood:2 .
