Modding Help sword stat template

so i made a sword in paint and i know nothing about how to code it so is there any tips that may help me out?

 

There's some modding guides listed here on the forums, try having a look at them here: http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?threads/modding-guides.34001/

 

that dosent tell me what im doing wrong i got the png i got the recipe and the stat file but its not showing up

 

Do you have a player.config? You need one of those to add the recipes to the crafting lists for each tier.
An example one would be:

Code:

{
  "__merge" : [],
  "defaultBlueprints" : {
    "tier1" : [
      { "item" : "exampleitem1" },
      { "item" : "exampleitem2" },
      { "item" : "exampleitem3" }
  }
}

This file should be placed in the same place as your .modinfo file; /Starbound/mods/yourmodnamehere.
And in case you don't have a .modinfo file, create one (yourmodname.modinfo):

Code:

{
  "name" : "Name of Your Mod Goes Here",
  "version" : "Beta v. Angry Koala",
  "path" : ".",
  "dependencies" : []
}

 

I'll try

 

i don't know how to structure the sword file how do i do that?

 

Try having a look at some of the sword structures under /Starbound/assets/items/swords.
