Forgery
by LeaveSteve
Forgery lets a player craft dummy items that copy the look of real items, with the forgery taking on the appearance of the original.
What it does
A forgery is made by combining the item to imitate with paper and dyes in a crafting grid. The result takes the name, texture and tooltip of the original, including any renamed label, so the copy can pass as the real thing in a chest or a trade. Damage level and attack speed and damage are listed as they would be for the original item, while the forgery itself keeps no function of its own.
The mod is aimed at players who want to hide valuable gear among storage or make a thing hard to acquire without actually giving it up. Forgery itself has no use beyond the trickery it allows, and the author notes it can also be used for playful pranks on friends in creative worlds. The mod needs Fabric API and runs on Fabric only, and it must be installed on both the client and the server for the forgeries to work in multiplayer.
