Dummy Items

by HyperionDash

Dummy Items, a small Fabric library by HyperionDash, adds placeholder items that map makers and datapack developers can obtain through the give command.

FabricClient and serverAll rights reserved1.21.2 – 1.21.11

What it does

The mod adds a set of dummy items whose purpose is to be placed in maps and held in inventories by commands. Map makers can use them as stand-ins while building, and a datapack author who only needs custom items with components can often achieve the same result without installing a mod, so the mod is aimed mainly at those who want the items available to give directly.

The mod runs on Fabric and needs Fabric API. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files cover 1.21.2 – 1.21.11, with 1.1d+1.21.2 for 1.21.11 as the latest Fabric file, released on 2026-03-22. The code is not open source, and it is distributed under All rights reserved; public source code and an issue tracker are linked from the project page.

Key features

  1. Placeholder items

    Dummy items are added to the game as simple placeholders that can be given to players through commands.

  2. Command-based access

    Items are obtained with the give command, which suits map makers building adventures and test areas.

  3. Planned item count

    The author notes plans to add more dummy items and to raise the count of available items to 999.

  4. Planned version and platform support

    The author plans support for versions under 1.21.2 and for future versions, along with Bedrock support and other loaders.

Use cases

Map making

Map makers can place stand-in items in an adventure or puzzle map and hand them out with commands while the map is tested.

Who it’s for: Map makers and server owners who want placeholder items for commands and adventure maps. Datapack developers who only need custom items may not need the mod, since the author notes that components can cover many cases.

What the author says

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…
