PLEASE READ

This page will be part of a rewrite to accomodate for the removal of the Holiday Creator Feature experimental toggle. Expect this page to be rewritten or removed when this happens.

DANGER

This method no longer works after 1.18.30.

An identifier is a required parameter that sits inside the description of the item's behaviour file. It accepts Vanilla Minecraft names, like so, <namespace>:<vanilla item>, which will apply certain hardcoded item behaviours, depending on the identifier used.
