Item Data

[white parrot]

Are there plans for storing data per unique item?

Similar to entities where we have tags which we can read/write. Will this be a feature of items anytime soon?

ya, more possiblities could be done then like custom enchantments and more, since lore vvere limited last time

Definitely, I currently have a system for custom enchants but this depends on my custom ID system

[halcyon jackal]

ya, same

from my post as I missed this one.
adding Dynamic Properties to items: This might be a bad idea but people are always complaining that lore isn't long enough to store data. if item merged event mabye being added it doesn't seem that far of a stretch

[halcyon jackal]

the problem is the current dinamicProperties weren't that hard to implement since they are not changing the NBT data of entity but they are stoerd in seperate NBT directory, is will take some time to find a right way of implementing it

I love how not great systems end up haunting teams for years

Approved unique item data storage is going to be a must at some point. People are using lore/name tags to store data. Using UI methods to store data is a really bad idea. We've already seen data limiting on lore length for this reason.

This is good feedback, and definitely something that we are thinking about. We are currently working on world and entity dynamic properties, and plan to start thinking about ItemStack dynamic properties soon!

nicee

item dynamic properties would be soo nice!!

[white parrot]

In terms of usage, will this be similar to entity dynamic properties where they are set per entity type?

[nocturne gate]

you dont have to register dynamic properties anymore

[reef crater]

block dynamic properties when

but in all seriousness, that would be useful too

I'd also imagine it would copy the item dynamic properties to the block as well

We'd love to get creators away from storing metadata on lore. 😄
We recently removed registration from entity dynamic properties, so item dynamic properties would likely work the same way.

I hate storing metadata in lore. Can't wait for that double c thick item data
