Choosing the navbox type
There are two types of navboxes you need to choose from before creating your navbox:


 * Normal navboxes. They call the navbox template directly. This is ideal for mods adding few items.
 * Lua navboxes. Navboxes which use the navbox module and are programmed in Lua.
 * It has a slight performance boost over normal navboxes, so this might be a good option for giant navboxes.

In addition, you need to determine if you need a lazy or non-lazy navbox. Small mods usually can make do with a non-lazy navbox, but for massive mods you may want to consider lazy navboxes.

Creating your navbox
You have two options when you choose your navbox type. If you want to save yourself time, you can copy of a navbox with styling similar to what you want. Alternatively, you can build one from scratch.
