• default:dirt — dirt (from mod “default”)
• farming:bread — bread (from mod “farming”)
• wool:orange — orange wool (from mod “wool”)
• screwdriver:screwdriver — screwdriver (from mod “screwdriver”)

There are itemstrings which don’t follow the syntax rules, see #Special itemstrings.

Special itemstrings

There are itemstrings which do not follow the usual syntax rules. These itemstrings are always available, regardless of the activated mods:

• air — used for Air
• ignore — used to represent nodes in unloaded areas. Unlike air, it is opaque and walkable. No fall damage is received for falling on it. If a player or a mod attempts placing it, an error message will be shown and no node will be placed.
