Misc Mechanic

On 1.20.5+ use the new FireResistant-Component instead of burns_in_x

This mechanic has a bunch of small changes you can make to your item. What they each do should be pretty self-explanatory.

    misc:
      breaks_from_cactus: true
      burns_in_fire: true

Commands

This allows you to execute commands (as the console, a player or op player). If this option is not often the most elegant it has the merit of simplifying a lot of things. You can create a cooldown between usages, check if the player has a specific permission and use the item (understand decrease its amount by one when the command is performed).

myitem:
  Mechanics:
    commands:
      cooldown: 5 # example cooldown in seconds. This is optional
      permission: "my.awesome.perm" # required permission. This is optional
      one_usage: true # should the amount decrease when used? Default: false
      console:
        # e.g. to kill the player
        - "kill %p%"
      player:
        # e.g. the player performs /spawn
        - "spawn"
      opped_player:
        # e.g. the player gives himself a diamond sword
        - "give diamond_sword 1"

Armor Effects

This allows you to bind a Potion Effect to an armor (or a hat) so that when you equip it you'll get the effect. Here is a list of all potion effect types available.

myitem:
  Mechanics:
    armor_effects:
      night_vision: # the potion effect type
        duration: 10
        amplifier: 0
        ambient: true # Makes potion effect produce more, translucent, particles.
        particles: true # whether this effect has particles or not
        icon: true # whether this effect has an icon or not

You can also make an effect only apply if the entire set it equipped.

myitem:
  Mechanics:
    armor_effects:
      night_vision:
        requires_full_set: true
        ...
