Can you clear a specific item in Minecraft?

Clearing dropped items becomes essential in Minecraft from time to time, especially when the gameplay becomes annoyingly slow.

The Minecraft community has thought of multiple solutions for clearing dropped items from the ground using different commands, tools, or plugins.

Some allow you to clear all the dropped items at once, and some will let you remove them one at a time.

Read on to find out about every possible way for clearing dropped items and learn more about other useful things you can do with them.

Clear Command in Minecraft Education Edition

In Minecraft Education Edition, the syntax to clear items from a players inventory is:

player is optional. It is the name of the player (or a target selector) whose inventory you wish to clear. If no player is specified, it will default to the player running the command.

itemName is optional. It is the item to clear (See list of Minecraft items). If no item name is specified, then all items in the players inventory will be cleared.

data is optional. It is the data value of the item to clear. It identifies the variation of the block if more than one type exists for that Item ID (See list of data values). Use a value of 0 if no data value exists for the item. If you omit this parameter or use -1 for the data value, the match will be performed on the item only and ignore the data value.

maxCount is optional. It is the maximum number of items that will be cleared. If you omit this parameter or use -1, all matching items will be cleared.
