[1.15.2] How to make an item that doesn't burn

[someRandomKid]

How would I make an item that doesn't burn in 1.15.2?

By "doesn't burn" do you mean that it does not provide fuel for a furnace? Because that's automatic.
Or do you mean that when dropped into the world it isn't destroyed by fire or lava?
Or do you mean something else?

I want the item to not burn if it is dropped in fire or lava. (sorry for responding late)

You need a custom ItemEntity to accomplish that.

Then you need to detect ItemEntities joining the world, check that their item is your item (and not your custom ItemEntity), and replace it.

Not needed. Just override hasCustomEntity and createEntity in the item class.

I didn't realize these methods existed. 👍

How about 

isBurnable()

in Item.java?

That's furnace fuel stuff.

Isn't fuel stuff handled through 

getBurnTime

?

works with those overrides, but since I am not in 1.16, my item sinks in lava, how do I fix this?

Take a look at the tick method of the ItemEntity class...there you can see how vanilla makes item entities float when in water. Apply the same concept when checking if your item entity is in lava.
