What is the difference between "tag" and "item" in recipe?

[jun2040]

I was following a modding tutorial and he used "tag" and "item" differently. Can someone tell me the difference between them?

I'm new in this forum and of what I know item is something that exist in only one material like cobblestone or iron_bar. The tag is specified for blocks like planks that has variants on oak_wood, dark_oak_wood, and so on...

If you look at barrel.json in the recipe directory you will see that tag is specified for planks and wooden_slab this mean that you can use any wooden_slab or any plnks to craft it

hope you've understand..
