About this Mod
due to recent changes in 26.1, i cant figure out how to make all the items share a single model like before (it just doesnt work T^T), fixing that would make the file size alot bigger and while i may go back to fix this later, for now, dummy items is discontinued
the aim of this mod is to add enough dummy items (all of which can be obtained through a give command) that map makers and datapack developers have the means to essentially add custom items through components without the need to mod them in themselves :3
(there are currently 999 dummy items in 1.1d+1.21.2 and there are no plans to up that number)
