Custom Items in Datapacks

Please add a simple way to add items through json files, and add better functionality to the crafting recipe system (allow nbt tags and enchantments).  It would make map making so much simpler (adding blocks would be nice too).  Basically combine texture packs and datapacks together or give datapacks texture functionalities.

  I would create a sculk blade when that and the other deep dark caves features come out.

  I literally came to this website just to beg for this! We already have to call items in recipes etc with "minecraft:item," we might as well be able to do "datapack:item!" Just give us a JSON format where we can add custom properties to a base item, that would be enough!!!

  Eg:

  "base": "minecraft:item",
  "name": "name",
  "texture": "path/to/file"

  and whatever with custom properties

  Or even like

  "base": "minecraft:item",
  "properties": {
    "name": "name"
  }

  or something?

  {
  "type": "item/block/crafting_table"
  "base": "diamond_sword",
  "model": "ultra_sword",
  "function": "MyNamespace:UltraAttack"
  }

  Please add this feature, it would be really cool, to make custom items much easily, instead of using carrots and sticks.

  The "function" could be any mcfunction, activated with a right-click.

  even a restricted implementation of this idea would be so great.

  with complex items it's currently a huge task to work with custom items that have a lot of nbt data:

  • custom books
  • enchanted items
  • custom potions
  • custom spawneggs

  maybe it could be implemented like the custom dimensions so that we only can work with the parameters that Minecraft uses.

  This seems even more plausible now, since so much functionality is being added to components. You could create a .json file that has all the default components for your theoretical item, including the item model data for custom textures.
