 Using a constant field is not necessary, it can be passed around and thrown away after registration is setup.
 
+If declared static in your `@Mod` class, you must create the `Registrate` object lazily so it is not created too early during loading. This can be done easily like so:
+
+```java
+public static final NonNullSupplier<Registrate> REGISTRATE = NonNullSupplier.lazy(() -> Registrate.create(MOD_ID));
+```

-        .register();

 Registrate will create a block, with a default simple blockstate, model, loot table, and lang entry. However, all of these facets can be configured easily to use whatever custom data you may want. Example:
 
 ```java
-public static final RegistryEntry<MyStairsBlock> MY_STAIRS = REGISTRATE.object("my_block")
