Arguments

Argument	What it does
<item>	Only this item is removed. Leave it out and the whole inventory goes.
[<maxCount>]	How many to remove. Type 0 and nothing is removed; it only counts.

Examples

/clear

Empties your own inventory completely.

/clear @s dirt

Removes all the dirt you are carrying.

/clear @a rotten_flesh 0

Counts how much rotten flesh everyone has, without removing it.

Good to know

Removed items do not drop; they are gone for good.
With a count of 0 it only counts: Useful in command block conditions.

How do I run this command?

Press T in game to open chat (or press / directly), type the command and press Enter. While typing, Tab completes the options. This command counts as a cheat: It needs cheats enabled in a singleplayer world, and operator permission on a server (operator (level 2)).
