# 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.

### 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 (**;**).

##### Examples:

```yaml
items:
  - stone{amount=32}
  - bow{unbreakable=true}
  - arrow{amount=64}
  - diamond_sword{display-name=<yellow>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!
```
