Item tag as fuel

I would like to add a custom item tag to check if items in it can be used as fuel with a burn time of 300, like the vanilla tag wooden_fences for example. However, there is no option to use a tag in an item extension, and I'm stuck on how to achieve this. I really don't want to add an extension for every single item individually as there are a lot in my mod.

That's just how it works in mcreator at least, so long as you want to use your items in a vanilla furnace.

It may be possible if you create your item extension and then lock and edit the code, switch the used item to an item tag. But most likely isn't how that works.

Look at the vanilla fence tag code and you may find a solution.
