# Intro
Creating `CustomItems` in C# expands the capabilities of your custom content beyond what the **UncomplicatedCustomItems (UCI)** framework provides out of the box. By implementing your logic in C#, you gain full control over item behavior, interaction, and integration with other plugins or systems.
### Features:
#### Full Control
Use C# to fully control how your custom item behaves on pickup, drop, use, damage, death, etc.
#### Not Limited to CustomFlags
You are no longer limited to predefined `CustomFlags`.\
Implement your own logic by subscribing to Exiled Events and/or LabAPI Events.
### Getting Started:
To create a C# CustomItem:
1. Install [Visual Studio](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/) or [Rider](https://www.jetbrains.com/rider/).
2. Reference UCI in your plugin project.
3. Create a class that implements `APICustomItem`.
4. Add the `PluginCustomItem` Attribute.
### LabAPI/Exiled Events
You can hook into server events (like deaths, shooting, or player joins) using Exiled or LabAPI. This gives you fine-grained control over how your item reacts to gameplay events.
