This page is really a heavy spell check since we need to make a lot of files with specific names. 
 If you, and lets be real that's most of you, are just here to copy and paste, don't worry all important things are in big nice code blocks and the GitHub repo is at the end of this page. :) If you, and lets be real that's most of you, are just here to copy and paste, don't worry all important things are in big nice code blocks and the GitHub repo is at the end of this page. :)
-=== Registering the Item === 
-In theory we don't need to add a new item since this is more data packed than it is modded, but if you would do this using only a data pack we would be missing the nice tooltip in the description of the Armor Trim item.\\  
-To register this item we need to register it as a new  
-''<yarn class_8052.method_48418(new class_2960(MODID, TRIMID)>'' 
-The TrimId can be separate from the actual item name, but for ease of making we will use the same for both.\\  
-For the rest we will just need the basic thingamajig of item registration: 
-<yarncode java [enable_line_numbers="true"]> 
-// adding a new SmithingTemplateItem named "TUTORIAL_ARMOR_TRIM" with the MODID as "tutorial" and trimid as "tutorial_trim"  
-public static final class_1792 TUTORIAL_ARMOR_TRIM = class_8052.method_48418(new class_2960("tutorial", "tutorial_armor_trim"));
