Reverse Engineering 26.x Item Components: Equippable, Food & Consumable

Master advanced 26.x item component tags: turn any item into custom armor, edible items, or damage-resistant artifacts.

Minecraft 26.x unlocked unprecedented item customization by exposing core game behaviors as modular item components. You can now make a Nether Star wearable on your head as a hat or make a Stick edible with custom potion effects!

1. The equippable Component

Equip any item onto head, chest, legs, feet, or offhand slots with custom sound effects:

[equippable={slot:"head",equip_sound:"item.armor.equip_diamond"}]

2. The food & consumable Components

Define custom nutrition, saturation, and eat animations for non-food items:

[food={nutrition:6,saturation:1.2},consumable={consume_seconds:1.5,animation:"eat"}]

3. The damage_resistant Component

Make any item immune to fire, lava, or cactus damage without making it Netherite:

[damage_resistant={types:"#minecraft:is_fire"}]
