Minecraft has a lot of blocks, but what if they had more? Why do we need them? Please don't just add lists of things - these will be marked as spam and removed! Also, no furniture, guns, or vertical/"sideways"/"upright"/"standing" slabs (yes, we see you).

Conditional icon rendering for items (minecraft:icon component)

Allow the minecraft:icon component to support conditional icon selection based on item states/variant or queries (e.g., charged, pulling).
This would make it possible to show different item icons in the inventory or GUI — similar to how entity render_controllers work for dynamic models.


This feature would let creators design more dynamic and immersive items that visually reflect their current state or gameplay context.


For example:
showing a charged bow or crossbow icon when ready to fire,

making a pickaxe look worn or cracked as its durability decreases,

turning a magic staff’s icon blue when charged with energy,


Such flexibility would make the Bedrock add-on system far more expressive, allowing item icons to naturally reflect their function and condition in the game world.
