Item

One item stack, live. Handles come from e:held_item(), e:equipped(slot), inventory.item, game.item(id) and similar. A handle for an inventory slot tracks whatever sits in that slot now.

`rarity()`	`"common"`, `"uncommon"`, `"rare"`, `"epic"`
`use_action()`	`"none"`, `"eat"`, `"drink"`, `"block"`, `"bow"`, `"spear"`, …
`damage()`, `max_damage()`	Durability used and maximum (`0` when not damageable)
`damageable()`, `damaged()`, `unbreakable()`	Durability flags
`enchanted()`	`true` when it carries any enchantment
`enchantments()`	`id -> level`, e.g. `item:enchantments()["minecraft:sharpness"] == 5`
`custom_name()`	Anvil name, or `nil`
`tags()`	Item tag ids, e.g. `"minecraft:swords"`
`food()`	`{nutrition, saturation, can_always_eat}`, or `nil`
