block names for python notebooks

My students are using python notebooks to create buildings. A student today asked me how he could give his agent spruce planks. I can't seem to work out how to do this.

This code works to give oak planks...

agent.give("planks", 64, 2)

 

You can use a command to give spruce planks to the player like this...

/give @p planks 64 1

The 1 on the end specifies the type of plank (spruce), but the python functions don't accept this extra argument.

Alternatively I thought we might use the block id (see link below) but I can't see a way to do this in python notebooks.

Any ideas?

  I worked this out. If anyone else needs to know I found this comment in the agent.py file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Studios\Minecraft Education Edition\data\python\minecraft_builtins.zip

  To give a block with a non-zero data value, pass a tuple with (name, data_value, components).

   

  I don't know what the components are, but I just gave it an empty string and it worked... here is the code I used:

   

  agent.give(("planks", 1, ""), 64, 2)
