I'm in Bedrock/Windows 10--doesn't that version use PE numbers?

[edit]

I added the missing colon and same error with the short command. The issue is early on and I'm not sure what I am typing in wrong here.

I'm playing around with the /give command on Bedrock Edition and I don't seem to have too much trouble giving myself some simple things. However, the moment I try to add enchantments I keep on getting the same error: "Line 1, Column 2 Missing '}' or object member name"

I can try to add a stack of enchantments or just a single one and I get the same problem and it doesn't matter if I use the chat window or a command block.

I've tried these as a couple of examples:
/give @p diamond_sword 1 0 {ench:[{id:11,lvl:5},{id:13,lvl:2},{id:12,lvl:2},{id:14,lvl:3},{id:26,lvl:1},{id:9,lvl:5},{id:10,lvl:5},{id:17,lvl:3}]}

/give @p diamond_sword 1 0 {ench:[{id:11,lvl5}]}

Both give me the same error so it is obvious I'm missing something important here. Likely it's something small and easily missed or forgotten. lol

OK, this may be a stupid question but do you claim your gift in-game or do you have do get it via the Microsoft Store--where the link in the news article takes you and seems to suggest?

I love the speed of the Win10 MC over the Java edition--it's like the difference between BASIC and ML on the old computers--but I am a little frustrated with the lack of some of the blocks so far. I know that it's beta and that more is coming out, but that doesn't eliminate my impatience while waiting for key blocks and mechanics to be added to the game. I wonder when we will see an update?

I haven't tried it yet, but I have an old Saitek P990 controller. It has software that will allow me to maps keys to buttons. If your controller has similar software, perhaps it may allow you to get around that issue?

I don't know for sure but perhaps there's a way through the Xbox live app?

I am 45 and feel like I'm still just scraping the surface of the game. The kids are OK and sometimes I do get some good advice on how to do things from them. Other times, I roll my eyes when their age shows in their behavior. Perhaps some adult-only servers would be fun so we don't have to self-censor ourselves quite as much when we are talking.

@ Jaizee Perhaps, but I liked the look. If someone else re-creates this for their world whey could put whatever they wanted there. This tower is a fun building project that spans from the bottom to the top of the world. It has been somewhat neglected while I have been playing on a Survivor-No Cheats save.

I simply switched off fullscreen and used the ALT+[Print Screen] key combo. I then pasted into paint. No extra software was needed.

After seeing the LEGO Minecraft Kit with the Ender Dragon, I found the End Portal in a creative mode save I was working on to actually go check out The End. Since I thought the original room was a bit blah and too far away, I decided to make a new one deep under a tower I was building and made a few aesthetic changes. I found a good picture of the room on the Minecraft Wiki and after printing it out, I used it and the actual room as a guide. I would recreate the layout but I would make a few changes that would make the room really pop. I started with a chamber that was larger than the actual portal room since I had a plan that would push it over the top. The larger room was made with bedrock so the only access would be through the bottom underground level of the tower--the floor sat directly above the void so I used bedrock there as well.

I then proceeded to make the room using obsidian since I was going with a black and red theme for the whole tower. I kept the iron bars at the entrance and for the "windows" that existed in the original. For the ceiling, I used red stained glass. The lava pools from the original room were filled and I was ready for phase 2.

I had a temporary passage made into the larger chamber and I used ladders to make a simple airlock. Entering the larger room, I proceeded to fill it with lava using the lava bucket on every block I could hit in that larger room. When the larger room was completely filled with lava, I sealed off the temporary passage and checked my work.

The room needed a bit more so I added some additional decoration. I used red carpet to cover the bedrock floor and placed red banners on the wall. (I recently discovered that I could do patterns with the banners so the ones in the pictures are getting redone.) I added two armor stands and the item frames above the door for additional decoration.

Leading into the room I had a passage-within-a-passage where I used alternating bands of obsidian and red stained glass for a striking and brightly-lit passage to the portal room. Again, the outer passage was lined with bedrock to make the tower the only access point to the room. Once the outer passage was filled with lava, I was really happy with the results.

This was a relatively simple tweak to the original room and I think that this is a good example on how a few simple changes can make a huge impact on a design.

I know this is likely buried deep in the forums but perhaps there should be a sticky thread for noobs or those of us who have been messing around with vanilla MC for a while.

I have been playing around with vanilla Minecraft for a while now and I decided to finally play around with playing with some of the different MC mods. The problem is that there are several loaders out there and countless mods to play with. I think it would be nice if the more experienced players would be kind enough to offer advice on the best ways to delve into changing your MC experience.

For instance, I'm trying out the Technic launcher--installing it right now--but I know the original launcher supports mods--which is the "better" way to go?

I essentially looking for a good launchpad to allow me to understand how to enjoy some of the cool and strange mods without getting too frustrated and saying "fudge it" to modding my game. I am sure that this could also be helpful to many others as well.

Thank you guys ahead of time for any help you can offer.
