# Add new items

New item types can be added by defining additional fields in the Bases.cs file.

Each field represents a new item base that becomes part of the system.

For now, this is a manual process, but in the future it may be driven by a ScriptableObject or a server request.

public static class Bases {

    /*...*/

    public static readonly ItemBase ManaPotion = new() {
        Id = "ManaPotion",
        Name = "Mana Potion",
        Icon = "Shared/Images/items/mana",
        Stack = new(10),
        Class = Class.Consumable
    };
}

To add a new initial item to an inventory, update the appropriate variable in Store/InitialState.cs.

For example, the following adds a stack of 20 Mana Potions to the Hotbar.

The initial state is applied when the inventory is first initialized or reset.

public static BasicItem[] Hotbar = new[] {
    Bases.HealthPotion.Create(20),
    Bases.ManaPotion.Create(20), /*✚*/
};

The Basic template allows you to attach an inventory to a GameObject and add items directly in the editor.

In this example, we define a Chest containing 3 items:

1. Select an "interactive object" in the scene.
2. Remove the StoreBag script.
3. Add the WorldBag script (from Basic/Scripts).
4. Specify a Bag ID and Type.
5. Set size and add items.
