TaggableItems

Name: TaggableItems
Author: Ancar

TaggableItems lets server owners attach custom data tags to items through a datapack, so players can mark held items with text or a UUID.

What it does

TaggableItems works through a datapack and adds a tagging system for items. Custom data is stored on the item itself, and the datapack defines the triggers that add the tags, so a server can decide which actions create them. Players can view the UUIDs assigned to an item and attach custom text to whatever they hold, which makes an item uniquely theirs.

The mod is meant for servers that want item tracking in an economy or minigame setting. The datapack goes into the world's datapacks folder, and a world reload applies it without a restart. Removing the datapack from that folder turns the feature off. Builds are available for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 34 release versions 1.16 – 1.21.10, and the mod is published under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license, which is not open source.

Key features

Item tagging system
Items can be tagged with custom data that stays attached to the item as it moves between players and containers.
Player UUID tracking
Each player is tracked by UUID, and the datapack can reference that identity when a tag is applied.
Custom UUID assignment
Items can receive a UUID of their own, which a player can read in the item's data view.
Custom text on held items
Players can attach a line of custom text to the item they are holding through a datapack trigger.

Use cases

Economy servers

Tagged items can carry ownership or trade history, which suits economy servers that track goods between players.

Minigame rewards

A datapack can tag prize items at the moment they are earned, marking them as belonging to one player.

Who it’s for: Server owners who want item-level data in a datapack, and players on those servers who want their items to carry a visible identity.
