Item system is dated

Currently CommandBook's item system is very dated and supports only basic operations. The goal of this bugs is to track the progress of updating this system.

The current concept I am planning involves the support of this new functionality through a new component dedicated to item management and resolution.

This new component must enable support for as many elements of items in vanilla minecraft as possible under the bukkit API, and also allow external mods to add in their own "custom" items which they can define specific build instructions for based on a name based item matching system.

It would be best if we could directly add NBT tags using this system - but in the end vanilla commands "minecraft:give" already have this ability (although extremely hard to use :p)

Ah yes, I almost forgot that bukkit added a method which allows you to add NBT using vanilla syntax. I suppose I could add support for enabling a new syntax, or sticking with vanilla item syntax in the new system. That could be interesting.

When did they add the system for adding NBT ?

It's messy to use, but it is there.

Any updates for this? Even NBT using vanilla syntax would be great!
