Block data is the detailed information about a block, referred to in Minecraft as BlockStates, allowing for the manipulation of different aspects of the block, including shape, waterlogging, direction the block is facing, and so much more. Information regarding each block's optional data can be found on Minecraft's Wiki. Find the block you're looking for and scroll down to 'Block States'. Different states must be separated by a semicolon (see examples). The 'minecraft:' namespace is optional, as well as are underscores.
Examples:
set block at player to campfire[lit=false]
set target block of player to oak stairs[facing=north;waterlogged=true]
set block at player to grass_block[snowy=true]
set loop-block to minecraft:chest[facing=north]
set block above player to oak_log[axis=y]
set target block of player to minecraft:oak_leaves[distance=2;persistent=false]

An item, e.g. a stack of torches, a furnace, or a wooden sword of sharpness 2. Unlike item type an item can only represent exactly one item (e.g. an upside-down cobblestone stair facing west), while an item type can represent a whole range of items (e.g. any cobble stone stairs regardless of direction). You don't usually need this type except when you want to make a command that only accepts an exact item. Please note that currently 'material' is exactly the same as 'item', i.e. can have an amount & enchantments.
Examples:
set {_item} to type of the targeted block
{_item} is a torch

An item type is an alias, e.g. 'a pickaxe', 'all plants', etc., and can result in different items when added to an inventory, and unlike items they are well suited for checking whether an inventory contains a certain item or whether a certain item is of a certain type. An item type can also have one or more enchantments with or without a specific level defined, and can optionally start with 'all' or 'every' to make this item type represent all types that the alias represents, including data ranges.
Examples:
give 4 torches to the player
add all slabs to the inventory of the block
player's tool is a diamond sword of sharpness
remove a pickaxes of fortune 4 from {stored items::*}
set {_item} to 10 of every upside-down stair

A player. Depending on whether a player is online or offline several actions can be performed with them, though you won't get any errors when using effects that only work if the player is online (e.g. changing their inventory) on an offline player. You have two possibilities to use players as command arguments: <player> and <offline player>. The first requires that the player is online and also accepts only part of the name, while the latter doesn't require that the player is online, but the player's name has to be entered exactly.
Examples:
set {_p} to "Notch" parsed as a player # returns &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;none&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt; unless Notch is actually online or starts with Notch like Notchan
set {_p} to "N" parsed as a player # returns Notch if Notch is online because their name starts with 'N' (case insensitive) however, it would return nothing if no player whose name starts with 'N' is online.
set {_p} to "N" parsed as a player # returns Notch if Notch is online because their name starts with 'N' (case insensitive) however, it would return nothing if no player whose name starts with 'N' is online.

Represents a single slot of an inventory. Notable slots are the armour slots and furnace slots. The most important property that distinguishes a slot from an item is its ability to be changed, e.g. it can be set, deleted, enchanted, etc. (Some item expressions can be changed as well, e.g. items stored in variables. For that matter: slots are never saved to variables, only the items they represent at the time when the variable is set). Please note that tool can be regarded a slot, but it can actually change it's position, i.e. doesn't represent always the same slot.
Examples:
set tool of player to dirt
delete helmet of the victim
set the color of the player's tool to green

Text is simply text, i.e. a sequence of characters, which can optionally contain expressions which will be replaced with a meaningful representation (e.g. %player% will be replaced with the player's name). Because scripts are also text, you have to put text into double quotes to tell Skript which part of the line is an effect/expression and which part is the text. Please read the article on Texts and Variable Names to learn more.
Examples:
broadcast "Hello World!"
message "Hello %player%"
message "The id of ""%type of tool%"" is %id of tool%."
message "Hello %player%"

A timespan is a difference of two different dates or times, e.g '10 minutes'. Timespans are always displayed as real life time, but can be defined as minecraft time, e.g. '5 minecraft days and 12 hours'. NOTE: Months always have the value of 30 days, and years of 365 days. See date and time for the other time types of Skript.
