Item Forge Wiki
Custom item editing, profile automation, smart scaling, batch workflows, and admin-friendly generation docs for Item Forge.
Getting Started
Start here for install, first boot, and the three main editing lanes.
Naming and Templates
Get display name, item name, lore, placeholders, and prefix behavior right before you mass-generate items.
Profiles and Automation
Build reusable modifier workflows, scale item math, and generate outputs from the Give menu.
Item Editing Systems
Trim, dye, attribute, hide, model, and tag items without dropping into raw NBT tooling.
Operations and Support
Teach admins the command surface, the built-in help surfaces, and the troubleshooting path for common item issues.
Smart Scaling is the Item Forge layer that lets one profile adapt its math to the base vanilla item instead of forcing you to hand-tune every helmet, chestplate, legging, boot, or weapon variant independently.
What Smart Scaling can change
Item Forge currently supports percent-based scaling for:
- armor
- armor toughness
- knockback resistance
- attack speed
- movement speed
- max health
- max absorption
It also supports smart max durability controls through:
- exact override
- additive math
- multiplier math
The armor icon rule that confuses people
Minecraft armor tooltips and armor icons do not use the same visual language.
Example:
+6 armorin tooltip means 6 armor points- that shows as 3 armor icons above the health bar
That is normal vanilla behavior.
The Smart Scaling screen
The Smart Scaling GUI exists in both:
- profile mode
- direct editor-target mode
Profile mode saves reusable math into a profile.
Target mode applies the math directly to the current main-hand or batch editor target.
Supported durability math
Exact override
Use this when the output item should always have one exact max durability value.
Additive
Use this when the output item should keep its own base durability and then gain or lose a fixed amount.
Multiplier
Use this when the output item should keep its own base durability and scale proportionally.
Good scaling workflow
- Set up the profile's naming, lore, and visuals first.
- Turn on Smart Scaling.
- Set only the stat lanes that actually need to move.
- Preview the output item.
- Test the generated item in game.
