Is there any good reason for this suggestion? why can't users use item's english-like names? (Maybe provide a use case)

[andriemc]

Some admins that have never used Skript don't know how to type it in english style. They are famillar with the diamond_sword like style.

[TheLimeGlass]

They're using Skript, not Java enums, they wouldn't commonly type an extra character when space is easier and quicker.

There are people who do it wrong, but i dont think its "worth the effort" or important and i guess it would look pretty ugly in the source code

[iPlexy]

If they dont know how to type in english, they shouldnt use skript bro xD

[andriemc]

Ok.

Keeping this open until we get more opinions from the team.

I will also express my unnecessary opinion about this idea. If such a possibility is already introduced, then the best solution would be to get rid of the previous system of aliases. In general, this would be nice, except that all the Script code that was written earlier will be lost. But on the plus side, we get the opportunity to be much closer to the bukkit api. No need to develop aliases. The presence of the Material class. Even better would be the possibility, from one of the previously suggested ideas:

set {_} to DIRT[itemMeta/BlockData]

I personally think it is not advisable to have two naming systems at once. And if necessary, most people already use Skript-reflect

[AyhamAl-Ali]

There is a rework plan for Aliases which then we can allow minecraft material names such as minecraft:stone and diamond_sword.

There is also a related issue:

• Standardise the 'default' alias of materials #2091

Can I have some explanation? Will the rework plan to replace the alias system, or just adding the ability to use naming conventions from the Material class?

[AyhamAl-Ali]

It's still not very clear how it will become but this is a discussion that was going and based on the outcomes the plan will be

[ShaneBeee]

I fully support this, since we support it in BlockData ex: set target block to oak_stairs[] or set target block to minecraft:oak_stairs[]

Since these work, I say yes.

Its not just about the java enums, its also about MC commands, ex: /give ShaneBee diamond_sword

[andriemc]

The following methods should work:

give minecraft:diamond_sword to player

or:

give diamond_sword to player

or:

give diamond sword to player
