I would love to work with you. I have a lot to learn about modding and Java, so it would probably be easier if I had someone else to bounce off of when I'm struggling. I mainly work with newer Minecraft versions.
I understand how to make the item function in the inventory, but I want to add an optional Curios functionality. Is there a way to add functionality without requiring Curios as a dependency?
I want to make an item could be a curios item if Curios is present but is worn in an armor slot if not. Is there a way to add optional Curios functionality to a custom item without requiring Curios? For example, the item would allow the wearer to breathe underwater if worn in chest Curios slot, or as a chestplate if curios is not present.
