SimplyItems

SimplyItems is a semi-big mod. It is extremely light-weight as it on its own doesn’t add nearly any content! All that the mod adds is a easy method to add new items without function into the game, with a .txt file and a resource pack!

Getting Started
1. As a first step, install the mod and run the game once, this generates all necessary files
2. Secondly, go into the placeholders folder of the mincraft instance. It is called placeholders due to old project naming(noticed on the JAR aswell)
3. Then, create a .txt file with the name you want your items to fall into. For example, if you want to create the item mymodpack:orb, you create a file named mymodpack.txt!
3. In the text file, on each line, simply type the ID the item should have, without the namespace(mymodpack in mymodpack:orb).
4. Create a resource pack, this could be either a ZIP or a standard folder, this is where all lang files should be placed.
5. In this resource pack, under the packs root, create the directory /assets/namespace/.
6. If you know how resource packs work, you can continue on your own, otherwise, there are a few steps left.
7. Create a textures directory, in here you paste the texture for your item, name it the same as the item(e.g orb.png), It has to be a png.
8. Create a models/items directory, in here you create itemname.json, so for example, orb.json.
9. Paste in the following JSON file, replacing mymodpack with your namespace, and orb with your textures name(no png extention)
{
"parent": "item/generated",
"textures": {
"layer0": "mymodpack:item/orb"
}
}
10. Reboot minecraft, and the item should be added!
