I consider myself an item faking pro, not because I know how to make a convincing fake but because I know how to easily debunk item frauds
The easiest way to make a convincing fake item is to just get as many people as you can to gaslight the forums into believing something exists, like with the wizard amulet. This worked because there were little to no screenshots, which we will get into later.
The second example is the Kuudra's Eye incident, which worked because it did have screenshots which were well made and a lot of trusted people got in on the joke.
A failed example of a fake item I saw recently is the "Tanzanite Gemstone:"
This failed because the creator didn't make his pngs right and you can clearly see a command block back there by simply making the image brighter.
So if you want to make a fake item convincing, here's how to do it solo and easy:
1.Use a fake item generator to make an item with lore, or if you know how to do that manually go ahead. (Good one: https://www.gamergeeks.net/apps/minecraft/give-command-generator)
2. Make your item believable, so some OP item like a new free way to get handles would obviously be fake:
3. Making it relevant to a recent update, in this example the garden makes it even more believable nd because it takes so long to get on the alpha nobody is going to check anyways
4. If you choose to use a png, EDIT IT! Minecraft text boxes are by default TRANSPARENT, so it's really easy to tell when a text box was inserted into an image rather than actually being there.
You can see small details in the background on this one:
On this one you cannot:
You then take that text bubble and insert it into a skyblock image. Remember, the dark part of the text bubble is slightly transparent but the text is not.
And with that, we have our fake!
"New crop on alpha! You can get oranges now!!"
Other than the fact that it's blatantly not true and I just told you it's fake, there are no clear giveaways that this screenshot is not real (other than it's in 1.19 which you can see by the increased size of items that use player head models)
The real best way to make a fake item is to simply not make one and just get so many people to collectively troll that people start thinking it's real.
Please don't use this information to actually try and trick people, it's just meant to be for goofyness.
