DEVELOPERS:

This section is for anybody who wants to add a rarity to any of their custom items through code, it's pretty simple - you just have to follow what's below. However, if you are currently using the ModComponent SDK then you'll be better off using the integrated functionality as seen here.

If you have a mod that already contains some code, you'll need to install the NuGet package into your project. After doing so, it's as simple as including this within your project.

using ItemRarities.Enums;
using ItemRarities.Managers;

internal sealed class Mod : MelonMod
{
    public override void OnInitializeMelon()
    {
        RarityManager.AddGearItemAndRarity("GEAR_ExampleItem", Rarities.Mythic);
        RarityManager.AddGearItemAndRarity("GEAR_ExampleItem2", Rarities.Legendary);
    }
}
