Create the Item Representation

Link to create-the-item-representation

Before you can add the item, you need to create an Item Representation which will allow you to set the properties of the item you want to add.
This is where the VanillaFactory comes in:

ZenScript
Copy
mods.contenttweaker.VanillaFactory.createItem(String unlocalizedName);

Import the representation Package

Link to import-the-representation-package

It might be required for you to import the package if you encounter any issues, so better be safe than sorry and add the import.
import mods.contenttweaker.Item;

To get/set the properties you can either use the respecting ZenGetters/Setters or the ZenMethods:

ZenScript
Copy
//property name: maxStackSize
//ZenGetter
print(item.maxStackSize);
//ZenSetter
item.maxStackSize = 16;
//ZenMethods
item.getMaxStackSize();
item.setMaxStackSize(64);

Registering the item

Link to registering-the-item

You need to call this method to register the item in the game!
Otherwise nothing will happen!

ZenScript
Copy
item.register();
ZenScript
Copy
#loader contenttweaker
import mods.contenttweaker.VanillaFactory;
import mods.contenttweaker.Item;
import mods.contenttweaker.IItemRightClick;
import mods.contenttweaker.Commands;

var zsItem = VanillaFactory.createItem("zs_item");
zsItem.maxStackSize = 8;
zsItem.rarity = "rare";
zsItem.creativeTab = zsCreativeTab;
zsItem.smeltingExperience = 10;
zsItem.toolClass = "pickaxe";
zsItem.toolLevel = 5;
zsItem.beaconPayment = true;
zsItem.itemRightClick = function(stack, world, player, hand) {
    Commands.call("scoreboard players set @p name 5", player, world);
    return "Pass";
};
zsItem.register();

Localising the item

Link to localising-the-item

You will need to add item.contenttweaker.itemName.name=Localized Name to the responding language files.
Example in en_us.lang file item.contenttweaker.zsItem.name=Your itemName Here will show Your itemName Here in the game.

Alternatively, you could use CraftTweaker's localization feature, though it's recommended using the language files!
