Use Item Components in Older Game Versions

What Are Item Components?

Item components are a modern Minecraft feature that lets you customize item behavior without creating new items. EndingLibrary backports this system to older versions, so you can use component-based item modification right now.

How to Apply Components

Item components are typically applied through:

1. Data packs — Create or modify a data pack in your world's datapacks folder

2. Command blocks — Use commands to assign components to items dynamically

3. Mod configurations — Check if dependent mods expose component settings in their config files

Common Component Uses

• Durability — Set custom max durability and repair materials
• Enchantability — Control how easily an item accepts enchantments
• Tool properties — Define mining speed and block types affected
• Consumables — Configure food effects and potion behaviors
• Attributes — Add stat bonuses like damage or armor

Refer to your data pack or mod documentation for the specific component syntax available in your version. Components work alongside traditional NBT data, so existing item modifications remain compatible.
