+### Components (Gameplay Behaviors)
+
+Components add gameplay behaviors to your item without requiring Java code. Each component is a self-contained module you declare in the `"components"` block of your JSON definition.
+
+**Format:** A JSON object where each key is a component name and each value is the component's configuration (an object, or `true` for defaults).
+
+```json
+"components": {
+  "lockable": { "lock_resistance": 200 },
+  "resistance": { "base": 150 },
+  "gagging": { "comprehension": 0.2, "range": 10.0 }
+}
+```
+
+Items without the `"components"` field work normally — components are entirely optional.
+
+#### Available Components
+
+| Component | Description | Config Fields |
+|-----------|-------------|---------------|
+| `lockable` | Item can be locked with a padlock. Locked items cannot be unequipped. | `lock_resistance` (int, default: 250) — resistance added by the lock for struggle mechanics |
+| `resistance` | Struggle resistance. Higher = harder to escape. | `base` (int, default: 100) — base resistance value |
+| `gagging` | Muffles the wearer's speech. | `comprehension` (0.0–1.0, default: 0.2) — how much speech is understandable. `range` (float, default: 10.0) — max hearing distance in blocks |
+| `blinding` | Applies a blindfold overlay to the wearer's screen. | `overlay` (string, optional) — custom overlay texture path. Omit for default |
+| `shock` | Item can shock the wearer (manually or automatically). | `damage` (float, default: 2.0) — damage per shock. `auto_interval` (int, default: 0) — ticks between auto-shocks (0 = manual only) |
+| `gps` | GPS tracking and safe zone enforcement. | `safe_zone_radius` (int, default: 50) — safe zone in blocks (0 = tracking only). `public_tracking` (bool, default: false) — anyone can track, not just owner |
+| `choking` | Drains air, applies darkness/slowness, deals damage when activated. | `air_drain_per_tick` (int, default: 8) — air drained per tick. `non_lethal_for_master` (bool, default: true) — won't kill if worn by a master's pet |
+| `adjustable` | Allows Y-offset adjustment via GUI slider. | `default` (float, default: 0.0), `min` (float, default: -4.0), `max` (float, default: 4.0), `step` (float, default: 0.25) — all in pixels (1px = 1/16 block) |
+
+#### Example: Shock Collar with GPS
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "tiedup:bondage_item",
+  "display_name": "GPS Shock Collar",
+  "model": "mycreator:models/gltf/gps_shock_collar.glb",
+  "regions": ["NECK"],
+  "animation_bones": {
+    "idle": []
+  },
+  "pose_priority": 10,
+  "escape_difficulty": 5,
+  "components": {
+    "lockable": { "lock_resistance": 300 },
+    "resistance": { "base": 150 },
+    "shock": { "damage": 3.0, "auto_interval": 200 },
+    "gps": { "safe_zone_radius": 50 }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+This collar can be locked (300 resistance to break the lock), has 150 base struggle resistance, shocks every 200 ticks (10 seconds) automatically, and enforces a 50-block safe zone.
+
+#### Example: Adjustable Blindfold
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "tiedup:bondage_item",
+  "display_name": "Leather Blindfold",
+  "model": "mycreator:models/gltf/blindfold.glb",
+  "regions": ["EYES"],
+  "animation_bones": {
+    "idle": ["head"]
+  },
+  "pose_priority": 10,
+  "escape_difficulty": 2,
+  "components": {
+    "blinding": {},
+    "resistance": { "base": 80 },
+    "adjustable": { "min": -2.0, "max": 2.0, "step": 0.5 }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### Component Tips
+
+- **You can combine any components.** A gag with `gagging` + `lockable` + `resistance` + `adjustable` is perfectly valid.
+- **Omit components you don't need.** A decorative collar with no shock/GPS just omits those components entirely.
+- **Default values are sensible.** `"lockable": {}` gives you standard lock behavior with default resistance. You only need to specify fields you want to customize.
+- **Components don't affect rendering.** They are purely gameplay — your GLB model and animations are independent of which components you use.
+
 ### Pose Priority
 
 When multiple items affect the same bones, the highest `pose_priority` wins.
