First, if you haven't done it already, please read | First, if you haven't done it already, please read about {{ll|Modding:Asset System|nsp=1}}. This tutorial should introduce you to the basics of using JSON files to add an item to the game. If you want to add an item with functionality, you should check out the tutorial for [[Advanced Items]]. That page contains a full list of all properties that can be defined inside the json file [[Item Json Properties]]. Adding a block to the game is similar to adding an item, so if you have already learned how to do that, most of the following steps should be familiar. | ||

(To create your own textures, you can use programs like [https://www.dotpdn.com/downloads/pdn.html/ PaintDotNet(free)], [https://www.piskelapp.com/ Piskel(free)], [https://www.gimp.org/ GIMP(free)], or [https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite/ Aseprite(free open source, or pay for precompiled)]) | |||
In order to use the texture, we need to put it in the right place (so the mod loader can find it). To do this we will create the folder <code>textures/item/</code>. Remember, this is in our namespaced folder so the full path is <code>assets/basicwand/textures/item/</code>. | In order to use the texture, we need to put it in the right place (so the mod loader can find it).

To create the actual wand item, we need to create a JSON file inside the <code>itemtypes/</code> folder. In this example we name it <code>wand.json</code>.

(we recommend to use an editor with syntax highlighting, such as [https://notepad-plus-plus.org/ Notepad++] or [https://www.sublimetext.com/ Sublime Text]. If you are going to have many json files or some C#, then [https://code.visualstudio.com/ Visual Studio Code] is also a good pick). | ||
