+==Overview==
-The only items worth placing are furniture items, such as braziers, bbqs, fountains, waterfalls etc. Everything else will get looted. Skeletons (0x12d) and the fixed corpse (0x130) can't be picked up by players either.
+If you want to put items as decoration in a map press the '''i''' key until you get the palette you need, then left-click the item from the palette then left-click on the map to place it.
-If you want to put in barrels, use the terrain barrel tile.
+In most cases simply placing the item on the map in this manner is all that needs to be worried about.
-Please don't use pseudo items such as medguy, raftguy, orbs, portals, ore spawners, etc.
+Note: If you want to place barrels, use the terrain barrel tile.<br>
-If you want to make display cases, make sure you put '''hook''' features under the items such that people won't steal the items on display. You don't have to put hooks under furniture items such as clocks, braziers, waterfalls, bbqs and fountains.
