-One of the first things you'll want to do with Fabric is adding a new item. +Adding a basic item is one of the first steps in modding. You're going to need to create an ''Item'' object, register it, and give it a texture. To add additional behavior to the item you will need a custom Item class. In this tutorial and all future ones, the “tutorial” namespace is used as a placeholder. If you have a separate modid, feel free to use it instead.

-To register an ''Item'', you can call register on the static Registry object. This takes in a registry type, Identifier, and an instance of what you're registering. This can be called anywhere as long as it occurs during initialization.+You'll use the vanilla registry system for registering new content. The basic syntax is ''Registry#register(Registry Type, Identifier, Content)''. Registry types are stored as static fields in the ''Registry'' object, and the identifier is what labels your content. Content is an instance of whatever you're adding. This can be called anywhere as long as it occurs during initialization.
