+First we define the boolean property of the block - whether or not it is charged (careful not to import the wrong ''BooleanProperty''), and register the block within the mod initializer. (If you directly register the block in the static field in the ''ChargeableBlock'' class, the mod initializer may totally ignore it if the class is not initialized.)
+In fact, you can also use existing properties defined in vanilla, which can be found in ''Properties'' (''net.minecraft.state.property.Properties''). If you intend to define other types of properties, you may use ''IntProperty'' or ''EnumProperty''.
