Arguments

Result
Fails if the arguments are not specified correctly, or if player fails to resolve to one or more online players.

On success, summons the specified item(s) at the location(s) of the target(s). If player resolves to multiple targets, each receives the specified number of items. If there is room in the player's inventory, or the player is in creative mode, the item entity summoned is "fake", with its tag set to  and its  tag set to, which would normally make it impossible to pick up the item, and have it despawn within a tick. If the player's inventory is full and they are not in creative mode, the item entity's tag is set to the target and its  tag set to  so that it can be picked up only by that player until within 10 seconds of it despawning, at which time other players may pick it up.
