<!-- {{#ev:twitchvod|v312958626|400|right}} -->
'''Items''' are an integral part of the game-play of ''The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth''. They modify Isaac's [[attribute]]s, grant or modify [[tear effect]]s, and much more.

Items are classified into several distinct types and groups. Some items are passive, which add an effect permanently to Isaac, while others only activate when used. The original ''The Binding of Isaac'' had 196 items. ''Rebirth'' has a total of 341 items. {{dlc|a}} ''[[Afterbirth]]'' added 95 new items, for a total of 436 items. {{dlc|a+}} ''[[Afterbirth †]]'' added 111 new items, for a total of 547 items. {{dlc|r}} ''[[Repentance]]'' added 172 new items, for a total of 719 items. An update for Repentance, [[V1.7.5]], added 3 new items, for a total of 722 items. In ''[[Afterbirth †]]'' and prior, 13 items are considered [[Special Item|special]] and will be less likely to appear if the player has already come across other special items. The ''[[Repentance]]'' expansion removed the Special Item mechanic, replacing it with the [[Item Pool#Item Weight|item weight]] and [[item quality]] mechanics.

For a list of which items can potentially appear in a given [[special room]] or under certain conditions, see [[item pool]] and [[Item Tags]].

For the grids of items that appear in the stats menu, see [[Collection Page]].

Not to be confused with [[cards and runes]], [[pills]], and [[trinkets]].

__TOC__

== Activated Collectibles ==
Unless the player has {{i|Schoolbag}}, only one activated item can be held at a time, with the old collectible being placed on a pedestal if a new activated item is picked up. Most activated items need to recharge before use, with the recharge bar filling either by clearing rooms or recharging over time. Other activated items do not have a charge bar, and, with a few exceptions (such as {{i|How To Jump}}), will instead either disappear after a single use or require resources such as [[coins]] or [[health]]. Some activated items will also grant passive effects as long as they are equipped.

{{dlc|r}} In some special circumstances, activated items can be placed in the consumable slot instead of the standard activated item slot. This counts as both an extra activated item slot and an extra consumable slot, meaning that other activated items and consumables can be picked up as normal. Items in this slot are used with the consumable key, and can't be lost through any means (unless they're consumed like items from {{t|Dice Bag}}). Otherwise, they function the same as other activated items.

=== Notes ===
* [[Battery Bum]]s and most [[Batteries]] charge the item in the active item slot first, then the item in the consumable slot. The exception to this is the Mega Battery, which recharges the items in both slots.
* Most trinkets that work with activated items (e.g. {{t|Vibrant Bulb}}, {{t|Panic Button}}, etc.) ignore the items in the consumable slot.

== Passive Collectibles ==
An unlimited amount of passive collectibles can be held at a time, and the effects they grant are permanent. Their effects are vast and diverse, from simple stat and health increases to completely changing the way Isaac's tears behave.

== Trivia ==
* {{t|Wiggle Worm}} was an item in the original ''The Binding of Isaac''; however, in ''Rebirth'', it was changed into a [[trinket]].
** {{i|The Polaroid}} was a trinket in the original ''The Binding of Isaac'', but was changed into an item. Interestingly, these changes keep the count of items and trinkets from the original game the same.
* There are a total of 170 active items, with 74 in ''Rebirth'', 19 in ''Afterbirth'', 30 in ''Afterbirth+'', and 47 in ''Repentance''. Of those, 138 items utilize a charge bar, with 61 items in ''Rebirth'', 16 in ''Afterbirth'', 24 in ''Afterbirth+'', and 37 in ''Repentance''.
* There are a total of 547 passive items, with 267 in ''Rebirth'', 76 in ''Afterbirth'', 81 in ''Afterbirth+'', and 123 in ''Repentance''.
** From ''Rebirth'' to ''Afterbirth+'', there has been about a 1:4 ratio of active items to passive items.
* {{dlc|a+}} ''Afterbirth+'s'' original item count was 89. The [[Booster Pack]]s added 42 items.
