Creating Items

• Lets create some custom items in Minecraft - we're going to follow MrCrayfish's Minecraft 1.8 Modding tutorial - Episode 3 - Custom Items.

• We should have already set up our development environment.

• We should have created our mod class

• Create a new package

  • src/main/java/nz.cdr.minecrafttutorial - Right Click and New -> Package.
    • We'll use the name nz.cdr.minecrafttutorial```````.init```, or whatever you chose for the previous package name, with .init```` after it.
    • Click Finish.

• Create a new class

  • src/main/java/nz.cdr.minecrafttutorial.init - Right Click and New -> Class.
    • Give it the name TutorialItems.
    • Click Finish.

• TO DESCRIBE:

• TutorialItems class

• Proxy package and classes

• Describe extends and @Override.

• Client and Server proxies are to do different stuff on the client and the server.

• If it comes up with an Organize Imports dialogue when you press [Ctrl-Shift-O], choose net.minecraft.item.item.
