An IItemStack Object consists of an item definition, a meta/damage value and NBT data.
In other words, it refers to an item or to a block.

It might be required for you to import the package if you encounter any issues (like casting an Array), so better be safe than sorry and add the import.
import crafttweaker.item.IItemStack;

There are several methods that return an IItemStack

• Using the bracket Handler <minecraft:apple>
• Using the makeStack() method on a IItemDefinition object <minecraft:stone>.definition.makeStack(0)
• Using the stack getter on a IEntityDrop object
• Using the firstItem getter on a IOreDictEntry

If you call these functions, you will most likely do so to iterate through the resulting lists/Arrays

• Using the items method on an IIngredient returns a IItemStack List: <ore:ingotGold>.items
• Using the itemArray method on an IIngredient returns a IItemStack[]: <ore:ingotGold>.itemArray
• Using the items method on a IMod object returns a IItemStack[]: loadedMods["minecraft"].items

So what can we do with that now?

IItemStack extends IIngredient.
That means all functionality that is available to IIngredient objects also is applicable to IItemStacks.

You can find how to use these either in the IIngredient page or in their respecive entries:
Item Conditions
Item Transformers

Globally (translates the item to the new name).

ZenScript
 Copy
val apple = <minecraft:apple>;

//prints "Apple"
print(apple.displayName);

//Sets apples Display Name to "Tomato"
apple.displayName = "Tomato";

//prints "Tomato"
print(apple.displayName);

Locally (only this single item).

ZenScript
 Copy
<minecraft:coal>.withDisplayName("Black Gold");

<minecraft:coal>.withLore(["This function","requires a","string[]"]);

The maximum Stack Size is how many items fit in one Stack, for example, wool’s Stack size is 64 and Buckets’ only 16.

ZenScript
 Copy
val apple = <minecraft:apple>;
val bucket = <minecraft:bucket>;

//prints 64
print(apple.maxStackSize);

//sets apples Max Stack size to 32
apple.maxStackSize = 32;

//prints 32
print(apple.maxStackSize);

//sets apples Max Stack size to Bucket's Max Stack size
apple.maxStackSize = bucket.maxStackSize;

//prints 16
print(apple.maxStackSize);

The Hardness is how long it takes to break the referred block. Only works if the object refers to a block.

ZenScript
 Copy
val grass = <minecraft:grass>;

//prints 1.0
print(grass.hardness);

//sets grass Hardness to 10.0
grass.hardness = 10.0;

//prints 10.0
print(grass.hardness);

The damage for items that cannot be damaged is 0.

ZenScript
 Copy
val pick = <minecraft:diamond_pickaxe>;

//prints 1561
print(pick.maxDamage);

//sets the max damage of the Diamond Pickaxe to 256
pick.maxDamage = 256;

//prints 256
print(pick.maxDamage);



//Damage doesn't matter, used in recipes
<minecraft:iron_pickaxe>.anyDamage();

//With the given damage
<minecraft:iron_pickaxe>.withDamage(122);

The tag is an IData object.
If the item does not contain a tag, it will return an empty tag, never null.

ZenScript
 Copy
//creates apple with the given tag
//Removes existing tags
<minecraft:apple>.withTag({Unbreakable: 1});

//creates apple with an empty tag
<minecraft:apple>.withEmptyTag();

//removes a tag by its name
item.removeTag("tagName");

//removes all tags from an item
item.removeTag(null);

//update the existing tag
//If the tag doesn't override an existing tag, they will stay constant.
item.updateTag({Unbreakable: 1});

Returns the liquid contained in a single item (if multiple) or null if the item is no container.
Returns an ILiquidStack Object or null.

ZenScript
 Copy
val lav = <minecraft:lava_bucket>;
print(lav.liquid.name);

How many apples are there?

ZenScript
 Copy
<minecraft:apple>.anyAmount();

//1 Apple
val apple = <minecraft:apple>;

//2 Apples
val moreApples = apple * 2;

//3 Apples
val evenMoreApples = <minecraft:apple> * 3;

Returns a weightedItemStack with the provided percentage.

ZenScript
 Copy
val apple = <minecraft:apple>;

//Creates a weightedItemStack with 100 percent chance
var applePercentage = apple % 100;

//Does the same as the above
applePercentage = apple.weight(1.0);

Returns a List of IOreDictEntries referring to this item.

ZenScript
 Copy
<minecraft:apple>.ores;

You can cast an IItemStack to an IBlock, as long as you are referring to a block, otherwise the cast will throw an exception.

ZenScript
 Copy
<minecraft:dirt>.asBlock();
<minecraft:dirt> as crafttweaker.block.IBlock;

You can also test if an IItemStack contains an ItemBlock and can thus be converted:

zenscript:
 Copy
<minecraft:dirt>.isItemBlock; // true
<minecraft:stick>.isItemBlock; // false

You can check if an IItemStack is a food item and what food properties it has.
May not work for every modded food item!

ZenScript
 Copy
<minecraft:apple>.isFood; //true
<minecraft:apple>.saturation; //0.3
<minecraft:apple>.healAmount; //4
