 ====== Item Groups ======
 //This is the 1.20+ version of this tutorial. For the 1.19 version, see [[tutorial:1.19:itemgroup|Creating an itemgroup (1.19)]].//
-So far, you have used ''/give @s tutorial:custom_item'' to obtain your item. To make obtaining your item easier, you can add it to item groups within the creative inventory. You can also add your own item group. All items added to any group will also be searchable within the creative inventory.
+So far, you have used ''/give @s tutorial:custom_item'' to obtain your item. However, unlike most vanilla items, it exists in none of the item group, and you cannot easily obtain it in Creative Mode! There are two ways of achieving this:
+  * adding your item into an existing item group
+  * create your own item group and add items
-==== Adding to Item Groups ====
+All items added to any group will also be searchable within the creative inventory.
+===== Add items into existing item groups =====
 First, choose the item group that the item should be added to. For this example, that item group will be the building blocks group. The registry keys of vanilla item groups are stored in the ''<yarn class_7706>'' class.

-==== Creating an Item Group ====
+In practice, considering items you register may be in large quantities, it's recommended to place then in a particular method, instead of directly in your ''ModInitializer''. See the following example (if write like this, remember to undo the codes above):
+<yarncode java [enable_line_numbers="true"]>
+public final class TutorialItems {
+    // [...]
+    public static void registerToVanillaItemGroups() {
+        ItemGroupEvents.modifyEntriesEvent(class_7706.field_40195).register(content -> {
+            content.addAfter(class_1802.field_8691, CUSTOM_ITEM);
+        });
+    }
+}
+</yarncode>
+Then, remember to refer to that method in your ''ModInitializer'':
+<yarncode java [enable_line_numbers="true"]>
+public class ExampleMod implements ModInitializer {
+    @Override
+    public void onInitialize() {
+        TutorialItems.registerToVanillaItemGroups();
+    }
+}
+</yarncode>
+===== Create your own item group =====
 Before you create an item group, determine whether it would have enough content to warrant its own group. Your item group will be placed on a separate page of tabs, impacting its discoverability, and users may be confused if the item is not where similar items are in the creative inventory.

-You can add entries to your item group within the ''entries'' callback method. Note that unlike vanilla item groups, where you can add items relative to existing items, you must add items to your own item group in order since there are no vanilla items to position them relative to:

 It is important to set the display name, otherwise it will cause a crash.
