Easily Create ANY Custom Item PT1 || Minecraft 1.16✔️ Data Pack Tutorial

Hey guys welcome to the timber Forge this is going to be the first episode in a series of maybe four or five videos in which I will be going through the process of creating custom items by using commands and/or a data pack in this first video I will be going through

How to choose what item to use as your base item for your custom item and also how to use emceed stacker to give yourself your custom item with the proper tags and attributes in future videos I will be going over how to give your custom item its special abilities

To differentiate it from the rest of Minecraft default items I will go over how to use block bench to create custom models and textures to make your item look visually different and I will also go over how to create some sort of method of acquiring your custom item

Whether that be a custom crafting recipe or a custom mob drop I think that this series of videos will be an ultimate guide to creating your own custom items and you should be able to create whatever custom items you want by watching this series of videos however

If you do decide to create some awesome and complicated custom item and you need help with it please join the discord in the description and I will be glad to help you along with some other data pack creators so without further ado let’s get right into the video

Okay so the first step in determining how to create your custom item is to determine what your base item will be every custom item will have some sort of base item and the first step is to determine what your base item will be so to explain what I’m talking about I

Brought one of my custom heat rounds from my tank data pack go check that out and as you can see where it says moderate armor penetration underneath that it says minecraft iron nugget that’s because this is basically a retexture to iron nugget with some special tags so my commands can identify it

But as you can see the base item is an iron nugget and in order to see that text you have to do FN f3h and make sure advanced tooltips as shown then you should be able to see what every item is and also make sure that you understand

That the base item is not going to be overwritten by the custom item you’re going to make that’s how it used to work but it doesn’t work like that anymore because of custom model data so if I search in here you will find iron nugget even though these are both

Iron nuggets this one is a custom item but this one is not because the item is not overwritten because we are able to create new textures for any item we want basically by using resource packs and the new custom model data tag introduced in 1.13 so just to make sure that you

Understand this is not going to overwrite any item in the game so first you have to determine what your purpose of your item is so if you’re basically just going to be adding on to an existing item in the game you’re not creating something completely new then

You already have your item selected for you just pick whatever you’re building off of so for example if you’re making a lightsaber you could probably just use a diamond sword or if you need to have some sort of shearing capability in your special tool then just use shears now if

You’re not just building off of a game tool and you want to create your own new tool then these are what you want to pick out of but a tool is not the only thing that you could create you could also create something placeable or a

Generic item just like my heat rounds so these are some of the useful things you can select if you’re making your own tool so a carrot on a stick why would you want to use this this is very useful if you want to be able to detect right clicks from the player so

If you want to be able to make a gun for example this is very good to detect when the player wants to shoot by just using the right-click function as the shoot or let’s say you want the player to be able to throw this custom item then you

Probably want it to be something like a snowball just like how I did in my throwable water video where I created a throwable water block out of a snowball go check that out and also let’s say you need to detect if an entity is being released from your custom item then you

Probably want to use something like a bow or a fishing rod so you can detect the arrows or the little bobber hook thing so let’s say you want to make a grappling hook and you want to detect if the player has thrown out one of these

Little bobbers and you want to use that as the actual hook then you want to use a fishing rod or let’s say you’re not making a tool maybe you want to make a placeable block then you want to use either spawn egg or an armor stand these are the

Options for creating a placeable block because this can be summoned to anywhere and you can basically detect where the entity is then you kill the entity and summon whatever block you want with the identifier right where the entity was or use an armor stand you just place it

Down and the block goes to right to where the armor stand is by detecting the armor stand with your commands or let’s say you’re not making any of those and you want to make a generic item like my heat round here then you want to just

Determine what item you want to use by moving on to this next step now in this next step you want to determine the value now this only really matters if you don’t know what item you’re using and you’re making some sort of generic item so in order to determine what you

Want to use you have to determine the value of your item and that is dependent on how you’re making it so for example my heat rounds to make for heat rounds it takes two iron ingots so I made the actual item into an iron nugget so that

The item is inherently worth less than what it is made of and this is just to prevent players from abusing your data pack to just create more items so let’s say you have a crafting recipe for your custom item and it takes one stick now you don’t want the the base item for

Your custom item to be a diamond because then the players are just going to make infinite diamonds by using the sticks so you want to make sure that your custom item base item is worth less than what it is crafted out of and a finally number so this is not that important but

It can help you so if you want your item to be stackable then just follow that last rule that I discovered about the value of it and just pick any random item however if you want it to be a non stackable item then you could basically

Just add your own item into the game because of you summon a generic enchanted book that item doesn’t really exist in the game so you’re basically creating your own item because there is no generic enchanted book in the game they’re all like protection one or fire

Aspect to stuff like that so when you summon when you give yourself an enchanted book that has no intent then you’re basically creating in non-existent item so if you add your own tag and names and model onto that you’re practically adding an entirely new item

Into the game so now that you have your item selected it’s time to move on to the next step okay so now that we’ve decided on what item is going to be used for your custom item now is to actually give yourself the item and include all

Of the necessary attributes and tags and all that stuff so in order to give yourself the item and in order to not have to type in a long command yourself go to MC stacker net I’ll see you there okay so to start creating your item what you want to do

Is go to MC stacker and go to the /give area and after you click it you should be in this area it should show target selectors and then the important part is down here where it says give item you can’t ignore the target selector because it doesn’t really matter because right

Now what we’re doing is just trying to make the actual item itself this is the /give command which is just a temporary way of getting the item later on you’re going to be creating a way to access it in your own way whether that be from a

Crafting recipe or dropping items on the ground to make an item or getting it from a mom what we want to do is first go over here to give item and go to filter and type in whatever item you decided on I’m going to use a carrot on

A stick so just type in the first few letters and then go to the item menu and select whatever you’re using I’m gonna do carrot on a stick because my item is going to be detecting right clicks so go down to here where it says name s click

On that s it’ll show and now for value that’s going to be the name so I’m gonna be making Stormbreaker an axe which will be able to summon lightning it’s from Avengers obviously so storm breaker and you have some options here on how you want it to display so I’m gonna go

Aqua I’m gonna make it bold and italic and so that stuff’s not really important but lower you could add some lower if you want and damage repair cost and unbreakable those are all to do with the durability of the items so I’m just gonna make it unbreakable set the count

To one and then custom model data here is the number you’re going to type in for the use in your resource pack later on make it a relatively random number but for the sake of this demonstration I’m just gonna call it 1 2 3 4 5 6 I

Normally go with a 6 digit string of numbers and it doesn’t really matter what the numbers are as long as they match when you make the resource pack later on to match the model with the item so then go down to custom tags and just type in whatever the name of your

Thing is going to be this is just some random tag but as long as you keep it the same both in your give command and in your later functions which will try to identify your item when you’re trying to give your item its abilities so I’m just gonna type in Stormbreaker 1b and

You have to put : 1 be at the end of it that’s just how the tags work and you can also change can place on for example if you’re doing a placeable item and you’re using an armor stand and you can use Candis story if you’re using a tool

Then there’s also enchantments and other modifiers so you can hide the flags if you want so I’m gonna happy hiding the enchantments and I’m also going to be hiding unbreakable so now for enchantments hit show all if not all of them are showing and then here you can change whatever enchantments you want

Since my item is going to be a weapon but it’s also a carrot on a stick which does barely any damage I hope to increase the damage it does and I’m gonna use sharpness for that and I’m gonna set it to use sharpness 10 for now I could always change that it’s just

Right over here so now this should be good so the most important thing that you have to have are the name the custom model data six numbers and the custom tag other than that you don’t really need anything else in order to identify your item so now what you want

To do just copy this command and go into your world so now that we’re back into Minecraft what you want to do is give yourself a command block because you probably won’t be able to just fit it into the chat box because there’s a certain limit two characters and the

Commands probably long so just place down the command lock and then change it to always active and then you should be given your item as you can see it says Stormbreaker and it’s in bold in italics and it’s a carrot on a stick and as you

Can see it says NBT six tags that means all of the tags were added it does not normally have that many tags if you go to a normal carrot on a stick you’ll see it has no tags but this has six tags which means all the tags are on

Successfully and I can summon a pig just to make sure it the sharpness is properly on yep comes in two shots a carrot on a stick normally does not do that so as you can see it works fine so now that we have successfully created

Our item now we can add our ability in part two so go check that out you
