# Create a Consumable

This page will show you how to create a consumable resource.  The resource you create can either heal or hurt the player based on the properties you provide the system.

{% hint style="info" %}
Creating a new consumable is easy and requires no coding.  
{% endhint %}

## Step 1

First, you'll want to [Create an Item](/survival-starter-kit/fundamentals/create-an-item.md).

## Step 2

Under the Consumables header of the item you just created you'll need to press the + button.  This will allow you to designate the player's vitals to affect and how much to affect them.

## Step 3

Drop your prefab item into the world, pick it up, and use it in the inventory.  You should see the player's vitals change according to the variables you set up.
