Why can't I set a "can_place_on" tag on my items?

Question

I did some research and I learned that:

/give @p lever 1 0 {"minecraft:can_place_on":{"blocks":["red_concrete"]}}

works for people but not for me. The command block output says component 'minecraft:can_place_on' could not be updated. What is the issue here?

ExpertCoder14 · Answer

red_concrete is not a valid block ID name. All the different colours of concrete are grouped under one block ID, concrete. Because can_place_on does not support a Tile ID (which sets the type of block, in this case the colour of concrete), you cannot set a specific colour to allow placing on, only ALL concrete, or NO concrete.
