Im making a mod where it adds boxes that can be transported on belts,

At the moment im getting a error on startup saying 'Error in assignID, 'woodenBox' was not recognized id of entity'.
I think the problem is that i haven't made a entity for the box, but i cant find where the entity data is for the copper item to copy off.

Thanks in advance for the help!

That would be the logical reason for why Factorio isn't finding one

data/base/prototypes/item/demo-item.lua for the copper-ore item (used in recipes), the copper-ore resource entity (that you mine) will be in data/base/prototypes/entity/demo-resources.lua. However, if you are making a box to store things in you should really look in data/base/prototypes/entity/demo-entities.lua for "wooden-chest" or in the entities.lua file at the other 'container' type entities (different types of entities have different requirements, like inventory_size and autoplace definitions).
