How to Make a Custom Item in Minecraft Bedrock (No Coding)

Guides › Items & tools

In Bedrock Edition, a custom item is a brand-new item added by an add-on. It gets its own name, icon and ID, and it sits in your inventory just like a diamond or a stick. Custom items are perfect for wands, keys, gems, coins, quest items and crafting materials.

With Addon's Studio you can make one in a few minutes, right in your browser. You draw the icon, choose what happens when it's used and give it a recipe. It's free to start and works on phones, tablets and computers.

Step by step

1. Add a Custom Item

   Open your project, tap Add item and pick Custom Item. Give it a name and an ID. The ID is what the /give command uses.

2. Draw the icon

   Paint the icon pixel by pixel, or import a picture from your device. Turn on 3D model if you want it to look 3D in your hand; the shape is built in Blockbench, a free model editor.

3. Choose the item settings

   Set the max stack size, add the enchanted shine, allow it in the off-hand, or make it work as furnace fuel.

4. Give it powers with Actions

   Under Actions, pick an event such as Right-click / tap to use, Hit a mob or Break a block with it. Then run one of your functions or type commands, like effect @s speed 10 1.

5. Add a crafting recipe

   Turn on Crafting and tap the 3×3 grid to choose ingredients. You can use Minecraft items or anything else in your project.

6. Export and test

   Tap Export, open the file in Minecraft and turn on both packs in a world. Then use the /give command shown in the editor.

Tips

• Item actions run as the player holding the item, so @s means that player.
• Add a short cooldown to actions so players can't spam them.
• Use your item as an ingredient in other recipes, like a ruby that crafts ruby tools.
• Set Furnace fuel to a number of seconds to make your own fuel, like magic coal.
• Tap View JSON to see exactly what files the app will make.
