spawning datapack items

[faint sand]

I may just be stupid but Ive been trying to figure out how to spawn items from a datapack and cant find any answers

It should work, like in any other case, just note the context the function is run in.

Unless specified (using execute as), the command will run from the server, so @s pretty much won't work at all and,
Unless specified (using execute at/positioned), the commands run at worldspawn, so when summoning an item at ~ ~ ~ you probably won't find it around you.

Do you just want to /summon an item

[faint sand]

Is that /give but for data pack items?

[astral cliff]

summon makes the item appear in the world like someone dropped it

give gives it directly into the players inventory

[faint sand]

Ik but when I do those I can’t spawn items from a data pack

[astral cliff]

what is the command you use? and how is that function (the datapack file) executed?

[faint sand]

I use /give @s But items from the installed data pack don’t autofill

[astral cliff]

try using @p and see if that works

if it does i can explain to you why and we may be able to find a better permanent solution

[cobalt comet]

Datapacks don't support custom items. There will be no autofill

Depending on the specific datapack you installed, there may be a function for it

What datapack are you using?

The nyctocosm

[cobalt comet]

/function items:scythe/give and /function items:wyrmsliver/give

[astral cliff]

some spells (or spell items?) are also items, you can get those using
/function spells:<SPELL NAME>/give
Where <SPELL NAME> is the name of the spell, like ring or bottle

[faint sand]

It works

Thanks

honestly this datapack is very confusing and there's no specific way to get items without knowing what the functions are already :P
