How to make an item
Items are objects that exist inside a player's hand, inventory, armor, etc. The item element allows for basic items (such as a new ingot) to be made. This element also allows for consumable food to be made.
Items that are associated with blocks will be created automatically when a block element is added.
General properties
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| In game name | This is what will be displayed in the game for this item's name. |
| Creative tab | The creative tab that this item can be found on. |
| Stack size | The number of this item that can be in one stack. |
Texture
The texture will determine how this item will look in the player inventory, held in a player's hand, and when dropped on the ground. Items will use the default item model. When you create a tool element, it will default to the handheld model instead.
Tags
You may choose to include an item in a vanilla Minecraft tag. This allows custom items to be logically and behaviorally grouped with vanilla items.
