What happens if I don't register an item?

[Socratic_Phoenix]

Basically, the title... but some context: I want to create an item which, depending on various stuffs (in this case, the world seed), delegates methods calls to different "backing" items. These backing items, would, of course, exist only to provide proper functionality to a registered item. So, my question is, does not registering an item detract from its functionality? Would calling any of its methods fail? (I don't care if it can't be obtained in the world, or exist in "the game," I just want it as an object to give me methods).

You're basically doing this sort of thing:

Why make it extend Item then? I mean, it probably doesn't hurt

 

No, I am registering the item, I just want to use minecraft's default items (itemhoe, itemaxe, etc.) to define it's behavior, but use different itemhoes depending on world seed... so cool, thanks
