SOLVED [1.19.2] How to attach a custom renderer to an item?

[TheRealJaws]

Hi there,
I've been trying to figure this out but no luck so far, how do I attach a custom renderer to an item in 1.19? Do I need to do it indirectly by attaching an entity to the item and rendering that instead or something?
I won't be able to accomplish what I want to do in the render with a .json model.
Thanks

Thanks, yeah this should work, where should I create the instance for this, just in my main class?

So I need a line like this correct?
 

itemRenderer = new ItemRenderer(Minecraft.getInstance().getBlockEntityRenderDispatcher(),Minecraft.getInstance().getEntityModels());

and then a model with is isCustomRenderer set to true, with
 

  @Override
    public void initializeClient(Consumer<IClientItemExtensions> consumer) {
        consumer.accept(new IClientItemExtensions() {
            @Override
            public @Nullable Font getFont(ItemStack stack, FontContext context) {
                return IClientItemExtensions.super.getFont(stack, context);
            }

            @Override
            public BlockEntityWithoutLevelRenderer getCustomRenderer() {
                return workoutmc.itemRenderer;
            }
        });

on my item,

and then where do I attach the model to the item?
