Materials are a quick way to add "generic" items into the game!
They have also optional secondary features, like being a "fuel container" (for fvtm fuels)
or a vehicle key (fvtm key which can be used to lock/unlock fvtm things).

Some examples are at GEP!

Here the overview of the Fields in a material json config file:

• RegistryName - the registryname, should be packid:material_id
• Addon - the addon the material is in, e.g. fvtm:gep
• Name - optional name field
• Description - can be either a string (supports line breaks \n) or string array
• MaxItemStackSize - max item stack size - optional
• MaxItemDamage - max item damage - optional - defect
• OreDictionary - optional registration into the Forge OreRegistry
• ContainerItem - optional container item which is returned when the material is consumed
• ItemBurnTime - optional item burn time, e.g. for using as furnace fuel
• FUEL
  • FuelContainer- boolean, set to true to make this material a FVTM-Fuel Container
  • FuelCapacity - capacity in mB (millibuckets), how much fuel the item can store
  • FuelGroup - optional fuel group, to e.g. limit this item to only accept diesel
• KEY
  • VehicleKey - boolean, set to true to be able to use this material as (fvtm) Key Item

This datatype creates an own Item, as such you will need to create a ItemModel JSON and supply a texture,
this is a vanilla/forge process, as such customisation and other is not matter of FVTM.
The expected path for the model will be /assets/<packid>/models/item/<materialid>.json
The usual path for the texture is /assets/<packid>/textures/items/<materialid>.png
For more info how the JSON should look, either take a look at GEP or vanilla minecraft.
