# Item Syntax BattleArena has an item format that is used for creating items in config. A few examples of where this format is used is in the [Classes](https://docs.bplug.in/books/modules-and-other-tools/page/classes) module, as well as for the [Give Item](https://docs.bplug.in/books/user-guide/page/action-reference) Action, among other places. ### Item Options
**Name** **Description** **Type**
color The color of the item, mainly for leather armor, banners, etc. Color: \- #<hex> or <rrr,ggg,bbb>
custom-model-data The custom model data to use. <number>
damage How much damage (or durability) should be applied to the item. <number>
display-name The display name of the item (supports [MiniMessage](https://docs.advntr.dev/minimessage/index.html)). <string>
enchants Enchants to put on the item. Enchantment list: \- \[<enchant name>:<amount>...\]
item-flags The item flags to apply. See [ItemFlag](https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/org/bukkit/inventory/ItemFlag.html). Item Flag list: -\[<item flag name>...\]
lore The lore of the item (supports [MiniMessage](https://docs.advntr.dev/minimessage/index.html)). Lore list: \[<line>...\]
amount How amount of the item. <number>
unbreakable Whether the item is unbreakable. <true|false>
effects The potion effects to apply to the item. Potion effect list: \- \[<[potion effect](https://docs.bplug.in/books/user-guide/page/potion-effect-format)>...\]
### Single-line Format This is the most common use of items in BattleArena, and follows a very similar format to that seen in the [Action Reference](https://docs.bplug.in/books/user-guide/page/action-reference). Note that options are separated using the semicolon (**;**).

**Note:** Custom items from third party plugins can also be used. See [this](https://docs.battleplugins.org/books/user-guide/page/custom-items) page for more information.

##### Examples: ```yaml items: - stone{amount=32} - bow{unbreakable=true} - arrow{amount=64} - diamond_sword{display-name=Mob Slayer;lore=[Kills every mob in it''s way!];enchantments=[sharpness:10]} ``` ### Configuration Node Format While less common, this format may be seen to represent items as well. Rather than the item properties existing on a single line, they are defined over a configuration node. Here is an example of how that may look: ```yaml my-item: item: golden_apple amount: 32 display-name: Yummy Apple lore: - Legends say this apple is delicious! - Try it for yourself! ```
