Invalid Item json despite correct syntax?? | Bedrock Add-Ons | Page 1

(Attached image is full content log)
Most of my addon has been functional except for 3 items which refuse to show up in game, none give direct errors but whenever I load in I get the content log error: [Item] [error] - Item is an invalid json object. I have run my code through JsonLinter and it came back clear.

One Item's File:

{
    "format_version": "1.21.100",
    "minecraft:item": {
        "description": {
            "identifier": "vcc:ring_of_resonance",
            "menu_category": {
                "category": "equipment"
            }
        },
        "components": {
            "minecraft:max_stack_size": 1,
            "minecraft:icon": {
                "texture": "ring_of_resonance"
            },
            "minecraft:allow_off_hand": true
        }
    }
}

the second one is the same as this one just with a different identifier, and the third has worked in the past, only just now giving me trouble.

Do the icon as "minecraft:icon": "ring_of_resonance", That should fix it. Some versions don't like the icon using objects

No dice, It's baffling why the error is so vague too, considering Minecraft's error logs are usually specific down to a component

It says that you have an invalid object, but don't know what is invalid.

#

Do you have any items that does work?

#

If so, try to mimic its structure. If not, I am out of ideas

SO. It works if I put it in a separate bp, no clue why, but that makes it load the item. I know it's not some kind of item limit 'cause there are add-ons with waaayyyy more than what I've got here. So unless manifests got overhauled recently to require specfic versioning on format_version, mc is just losing it's mind. I think I can work with this but it's still absurd.
