== Mandatory properties ==
 
{{Prototype_property|type|[[Types/string|string]]}}
Specification of the type of the prototype.
 
For a list of all available types and their properties, see [[prototype definitions]]. For a list of all types used in vanilla, see [[data.raw]].
 
{{Prototype_property|name|[[Types/string|string]]}}
Unique textual identification of the prototype.
 
For a list of all names used in vanilla, see [[data.raw]].
 
May not contain <code>.</code>, may not exceed a length of 200 characters.
 
== Optional properties ==
 
{{Prototype_property|order|[[Types/Order|Order]]|""|optional=true}}
Used to order prototypes in inventory, recipes and GUI's.
 
May not exceed a length of 200 characters.
 
{{Prototype_property|localised_name|[[Types/LocalisedString|LocalisedString]]|optional=true}}
Overwrites the name set in the [[Tutorial:Localisation#Localising_simple_strings|locale file]]. Can be used to easily set a procedurally-generated name because the LocalisedString format allows to insert parameters into the name directly from the Lua script.
 
{{Prototype_property|localised_description|[[Types/LocalisedString|LocalisedString]]|optional=true}}
Overwrites the description set in the [[Tutorial:Localisation#Localising_simple_strings|locale file]]. The description is usually shown in the tooltip of the prototype.
