We've already made a Corn item for our [crop](/tutorials/forge-modding-1102/crops/), however, we were unable to eat the corn (defeating its very purpose). Let's make our Corn behave as actual food.
First we'll need to create an `ItemCorn` class that will be our new corn item, instead of just using `ItemOre`. Our class will extend `ItemFood` so it inherits all of the vanilla food-handling logic. We'll also want our class to have `registerItemModel` and `initOreDict` methods so it retains the functionality from the existing corn item.
The `ItemFood` constructor takes 3 parameters:
1. The amount of hunger restored by this food.
2. The saturation given by this food.
3. If this food is edible by wolves.
We'll pass in `3`, `0.6f`, and `false` for the hunger, saturation, and wolf food values, the same values as the Carrot. Also in the constructor, we'll call `setUnlocalizedName` and `setRegistryName` with the same value as we used for the original corn item (`corn`). We'll also call `setCreativeTab` with our custom creative tab.
We'll also need to implement the `registerItemModel` and `initOreDict` methods.
In `registerItemModel`, we'll use our proxy `registerItemRenderer` method to register an item model for our corn item. We'll use `corn` as the model name, the same as our original item.
We'll also implement `initOreDict` and call the `OreDictionary.registerOre` method with `cropCorn` as the ore name, the same as our original item.
```java
package net.shadowfacts.tutorial.item;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemFood;
import net.minecraftforge.oredict.OreDictionary;
import net.shadowfacts.tutorial.TutorialMod;
public class ItemCorn extends ItemFood {
public ItemCorn() {
super(3, 0.6f, false);
setUnlocalizedName("corn");
setRegistryName("corn");
setCreativeTab(TutorialMod.creativeTab);
}
public void registerItemModel(Item item) {
TutorialMod.proxy.registerItemRenderer(this, 0, "corn");
}
public void initOreDict() {
OreDictionary.registerOre("cropCorn", this);
}
}
```
In the `ModItems` class, we'll also need to change the `corn` field.
```java
// ...
public class ModItems {
// ...
public static ItemCorn corn = new ItemCorn();
// ...
}
```
We simply need to change the `corn` field to by of item `ItemCorn` and the registration call to instantiate `ItemCorn` instead of `ItemOre`.
Now we've got an edible corn item!
