Registering Your Objects

With Rutile you can register two new types of object: Elements and Materials.

Elements

Elements are cosmetic informative objects that display in the tooltips of supported objects.

Elements are defined with an id, symbol, and color.
The color of the element is used for tinting the Element in JEI. It can also be used to change the color of the composition tooltip if the elementColorForTooltip config value is true
The symbol of the element is used for the composition tooltip and is never localized.

public class MyElements {
    public static final Element Nt = create("netherium", "Nt", 0xff333756);

    public static Element create(String name, String symbol, int colour) {
        Element element = new Element(symbol, colour, YourMod.asResource(name));
        RutileRegistries.register(RutileRegistries.ELEMENTS, element.getId(), element);
        return element;
    }

    public static void init() {}
}

// To register to our registries you will likely need to initialize your registry 
// classes during the RegistryEvent
@EventBusSubscriber
public class CommonEvents {

    // Only register everything once.
    private static boolean didRunRegistration = false;

    @SubscribeEvent
    public static void onRegister(RegisterEvent event) {
        if (didRunRegistration) {
            return;
        }
        // Initialize your Elements:
        MyElements.init();
        didRunRegistration = true;
    }
}

Materials

Materials are quite a bit more complicated than Elements. The next section should cover everything you need to know about how to create your own.
