Where can I download ItemAttributes?

ItemAttributes has both a paid version and a free version. A comparison of the two can be seen on this page. The download links can be found on the home page of this wiki.

Does this plugin support my 1.8 / 1.12 server?

No, both of these versions are old and negatively impact the level of quality we seek to offer with the ItemAttributes plugin. As of now, only 1.21.3+ is supported. We recommend you move up to 1.21 as it's very stable and supports nearly all modern plugins.

What makes this plugin stand out?

ItemAttributes takes a different approach compared to other custom item plugins. Rather than trying to compete on all levels, it is instead designed more as a framework which integrates with many other feature-complete plugins out there. This also makes it more budget friendly than the others. A Lite version also exists which gives a snapshot into the full capability of the Pro version.

Do I need to install any dependencies or other plugins for ItemAttributes to work?

Nope. ItemAttributes runs all on its own without any other plugins. However, it does hook into other plugins in some scenarios if they are found.

I want to change the messages in the plugin, how do I do that?

There is a messages.yml file generated when using this plugin which allow for changing all user-facing messages. However, when using the Lite version, all attributes and tiers are built into the plugin, and cannot be changed. If using the Pro version though, these are all fully configurable in attributes.yml and tiers.yml respectively.

How does ItemAttributes store its data?

Data for ItemAttributes is simply stored on NBT for the item and has its own mechanism for item names and lores. This means that if you have a separate plugin which changes the name or description of an item and you change an ItemAttributes item, it may not be saved. In this case, it is recommended you use the built-in /items name and /items description commands, or if using the Pro version, the item creator, to change the item display.

(Pro) If I change an attribute or tier name, does it wipe any data?

When changing the name of an attribute or tier, it does not reset any data. However, beware that changing the key can cause issues. But updating the name or description will be fine.
