custom items and sanity appearance changes help

[paintedgalaxy]

Me and my friend want to make a character mod, and we'd want the character to be able to start off with a custom unbreakable axe they recieve on spawn, but dont know where to start. im not sure where i can get a guide on how to make such an item so help would be super appreciated?

also i was wondering if its possible for characters to change appearance when their sanity is low enough

Well for a custom axe you could mold one from this mod:

just need to update the code for dst and look up the axe lua file to see what needs to be done. As for changing the appearance I can't do it if you want it like woodie's or flashy like wolfgang's. I can do it cheaply where the character changes builds instantly (doesn't look natural and looks very sudden) but I don't know if that's what you want.
