So, I'm building a giant sculpture of my skin on creative, and I was trying to use world edit to fill in a large area with black stained clay. I didn't know the item id and frantically tried different/random words and ids. I eventually had to google it. If you're building something large such as a map, world edit is very helpful, but it causes chaos when you have to switch between windows. My suggestion is to add /iinfo to creative which tells you the item name and id. I usually use /iinfo on survival to make chest shops and it's very useful.
Support, I think there's a way to make it so whenever you hover over an item it tells you the id. I think it's like f3+H or something?
