[BUG] Item.give() doesn't work because of the new format

[patrykduda2005]

Describe the bug

Item.give(...); puts its nbts in old format

To Reproduce

1. write proper Item.create() and Item.give()
2. compile

Expected behavior

nbt should be put in "[]" instead of "{}" and values should use "=" instead of ":"

Yeah, this feature is very hard to update. I'll try to see what I can do, but I can't make any promises because I have a lot of other things I need to do. For now, I have two workarounds.

Option 1: #define

In an .hjmc file, type

#define dummy_cooked_cod enchanted_book[max_stack_size=64,custom_name='"Cooked Cod"',lore=['"DUMMY"'],rarity="common",custom_model_data=421]

Then, if you type

give @a dummy_cooked_cod 10;

in your main file, it will give you the expected result.

Option 2: Loot Tables

Use the following syntax to create a loot table:

new loot_table(dummy_cooked_cod) {
	"pools": [
		{
			"rolls": 1,
			"entries": [
				{
					"type": "minecraft:item",
					"name": "minecraft:enchanted_book",
					"functions": [
						{
							"function": "minecraft:set_name",
							"name": "Cooked Cod"
						},
						{
							"function": "minecraft:set_lore",
							"lore": ["DUMMY"],
							"mode": "replace_all"
						},
						{
							"function": "minecraft:set_count",
							"count": 10
						},
						{
							"function": "minecraft:set_components",
							"components": {
								"minecraft:rarity": "common",
								"minecraft:max_stack_size": 64
							}
						}
					]
				}
			]
		}
	]
}

Then, you can use loot give @a loot namespace:dummy_cooked_cod; anywhere in your code and it will have the result you wanted above.

I actually recommend loot tables a lot, because they can do powerful things that the item command simply cannot (ex: if later on in your project, you wanted to make the count based on some score or variable instead of a fixed number, you can do that.)
