Dummy Item

A dummy item to help with making custom items for data packs, and similar things. You could give it certain properties using nbt tags (some ideas that I can think of that there could be tags for is wether or not the item is edible (and if so, how much hunger points it restores), wether or not it can go on your head, etc.). This would be useful, because as of right now, there aren't any options for making custom items that don't already do something else (such as being a crafting ingredient, or being placeable).

  I really like this idea and was actually about to post it too!
  This would basicly act as a "baseplate" for custom items, Also would be good to have for survival oriented datapacks (custom weapons or tools that dont replace current items)
  
  So i have worked it out as an actual item a bit!
  
  The full give command with its specific nbt tag could work like this!

  /give @s Dummy{DummyData:[overrides:"minecraft:bow",value:0,max_durability:340],display:{Name:{"text":"Example Item","italic":false]}} 1

  The overrides tag would take the events from a specific item say a bow and apply it onto the custom item
  "minecraft:empty" can be used for custom resources (defaults to empty without the override tag)
  "minecraft:click" would be used to get click input (used with the used:dummy scoreboard)
  
  The "value" tag would be used for function specific values, Like food saturation or the path to a function.

  Example Tags could be:

  1. "minecraft:helmet" for a helmet item, (Item attributes would apply for adding armor)
  2. "minecraft:food" for a food item, (could also take the max durability tag and remove one from it, giving a multi-use food item)

     [overrides:"minecraft:food",value:2,max_durability:4]

  3. "minecraft:function" would trigger a function (not sure if minecraft can support syntax for 2 different type values int/string but there's other options too)

     [overrides:"minecraft:function",value:"pack:testfunc",max_durability:20]
