== Definitions ==
 
−
Items and item stacks can exist in three formats:
 
−
 
 
−
* Serialized; This is called <code>stackstring</code> or <code>itemstring</code>:
 
−
:* <source enclose="none">'default:dirt 5'</source>
 
−
:* <source enclose="none">'default:pick_wood 21323'</source>
 
−
:* <source enclose="none">'default:apple'</source>
 
−
* Table format:
 
−
:* <source enclose="none">{name="default:dirt", count=5, wear=0, metadata=""}</source> — 5 dirt nodes
 
−
:* <source enclose="none">{name="default:pick_wood", count=1, wear=21323, metadata=""}</source> — wooden pick about 1/3 worn out
 
−
:* <source enclose="none">{name="default:apple", count=1, wear=0, metadata=""}</source> — an apple.
 
−
* ItemStack. C++ native format with many helper methods. Useful for converting between formats. See this article for details.
