    getEventRegistry().registerGlobal(DropItemEvent.class, this::onItemDrop);

    // Listen for item crafting
    getEventRegistry().registerGlobal(CraftRecipeEvent.class, this::onCraft);
}

private void onItemDrop(DropItemEvent event) {
    ItemStack stack = event.getItemStack();
    if (stack.getItem().getId().equals("MyPlugin:CursedItem")) {
        event.setCancelled(true);
        event.getPlayer().sendMessage("You cannot drop this cursed item!");
    }
}

private void onCraft(CraftRecipeEvent event) {
    CraftingRecipe recipe = event.getRecipe();
    getLogger().atInfo().log("Player crafted: %s", recipe.getResult().getItem().getId());
}

Troubleshooting

Item Not Appearing

1. Check asset path is correct
2. Verify manifest includes asset pack
3. Check for JSON syntax errors
4. Ensure Icon texture exists

Tool Not Working

1. Verify Tool.Specs is configured
2. Check GatherType matches block material
3. Ensure Power level is sufficient

Durability Issues

1. Set MaxDurability > 0
2. Configure DurabilityLossPerUse
3. Check stack size is 1 for durability items
