The Item Editor, available only in Creative Mode, lets us design new items for the game. We can design new tools, weapons, potions, armor, and more. We can imbue them with unique and amazing properties. These new items can be used in Creative or normal SP games. (not sure how the recipe will show up in a multiplayer game)

I’m still learning about the Item Editor, so this will be a simple guide. Please fix any errors you find. Have fun with the Item Editor but please use it with care and be aware it’s possible your creation messes up your game. This little guide (although it's incomplete) will show you enough to design your first tool or weapon, to get you familiar with the basics.

1. Start a Single Player: Creative Mode game.

2. When game opens, press Tab to open the inventory-crafting screen.

3. Select “Item Editor” at the top of the open window. It’s the last choice on the right.



Here’s the Item Editor main screen. There’s nine sections, but we leave many sections blank because they don’t apply to the situation.



We'll only use the left side of the Item Editor to design our new item, so ignore the right half of the window for now.

Just start filling in blanks from the top. The first section is Basics.

The next section is Settings. Leave sections blank if they don’t apply.

The next section is Crafting. Leave this section blank if your new item is not crafted.

Crafted Items can have up to three ingredients, and now you get to list them:

Repeat this for Ingredient 2 and Ingredient 3, or leave both blank if there’s only one ingredient.

The next section is Equipment. This is where you assign bonus stats.

The Item Editor has room for two Bonus stats. You can leave them blank if there is no bonus to using the item.

The next section is Tools. If the new item isn’t a tool you can leave this blank.

The next section is Consumables. I've never used the remaining sections, I usually make weapons and leave them blank. This part of the guide is unfinished.

Biome Loot

Section isn't finished yet.

Named Loot

Section isn't finished yet.

Unlocking

Section isn't finished yet.

When done, press Save at the lower right. The name of the new item will show up on the right side of the item editor window.

Then press Load to load the item into the game.

**Warning**NEVER SELECT OVERWRITE unless you know exactly what you are doing.

If you select overwrite you might lose the ability to craft anything at all! To fix this situation, find the folder with the item templates and remove the new item you were working on when you hit “overwrite”. This should fix the problem.
