-One of the first things you'll want to do with Fabric is adding a new item. 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 the “wikitut” namespace and the “example_item” name are used as placeholderswhich should be replaced by the appropriate values for your mod and 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 modidfeel free to use it instead.

 First, create an instance of Item. We'll store it at the top of our initializer class. The constructor takes in an Item.Settings object, which is used to set item properties such as the inventory category, durability, and stack count.  First, create an instance of Item.

-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.

 +==== What if I want to change the stack size of my item? ====
 +
 +For this you would use ''maxCount(int size)'' inside ItemSettings to specify the max stack size. Note that if your item is damageable you cannot specify a maximum stack size or the game will throw a RuntimeException.
