Saving items in a config

I have made items that do a "special ability" and I'm saving them in the config, however I dont know how I would actually give them a name that I can call back and forth. I was thinking giving them a fixed Meta Data Value and use that to call back and forth which is what I might try. How would I do this?

 

ItemMeta is serializable, so it automatically stores it.

If I create a enum that refers to all the custom items I have, that would work, or is there a different approach I should take

 

What do you mean? If you want to store itemstacks, thats easy with set() and getItemStack(), but if you want to make preset itemstacks youre better off making a class with

Code:

public static MyItem = new ItemStack(...

variables for each item.

Sorry the title was a bit misleading and I'm pretty sure I worded what I said above wrong, but since some of the "abilities" aren't actually an item and just gives an effect, and I need that to be able to toggle on and off, so I'm trying to get that, but at the same time not refer to it as a Itemstack. Right now have is words for the enum for each ability name, and I'm planning to have a list of classes that the enum will switch through. (switch()) but i double that will work
