MGlolenstine

Ok. Thanks! But can you please explain ModeLoader more throughly or at least give me a link to API documentation?

I was following this outdated tutorial... https://bedrockminer.jimdo.com/modding-tutorials/basic-modding-1-8/first-item/

Ok, so I register my new item with this code public static void reg(Item item) { Minecraft.getMinecraft().getRenderItem().getItemModelMesher().register(item, 0, new ModelResourceLocation(modid + ":" + item.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5), "inventory")); } My item.json is { "parent":"builtin/generated", "textures": { "layer0":"simplerings:textures/wooden_ring" }, "display": { "thirdperson": { "rotation": [ -90, 0, 0 ], "translation": [ 0, 1, -3 ], "scale": [ 0.55, 0.55, 0.55 ] }, "firstperson": { "rotation": [ 0, -135, 25 ], "translation": [ 0, 4, 2 ], "scale": [ 1.7, 1.7, 1.7 ] } } } texture is located in /src/main/resources/textures/wooden_ring.png Error I get in the log: Description: There was a severe problem during mod loading that has caused the game to fail net.minecraftforge.fml.common.LoaderExceptionModCrash: Caught exception from Simple Rings (simplerings) Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at xyz.mglolenstine.SimpleRings.ItemRenderRegister.reg(ItemRenderRegister.java:12) at xyz.mglolenstine.SimpleRings.Rings.init(Rings.java:17) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:62) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:498) at net.minecraftforge.fml.common.FMLModContainer.handleModStateEvent(FMLModContainer.java:647) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:62) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:498) at com.google.common.eventbus.EventSubscriber.handleEvent(EventSubscriber.java:74) at com.google.common.eventbus.SynchronizedEventSubscriber.handleEvent(SynchronizedEventSubscriber.java:47) at com.google.common.eventbus.EventBus.dispatch(EventBus.java:322) at com.google.common.eventbus.EventBus.dispatchQueuedEvents(EventBus.java:304) at com.google.common.eventbus.EventBus.post(EventBus.java:275) at net.minecraftforge.fml.common.LoadController.sendEventToModContainer(LoadController.java:253) at net.minecraftforge.fml.common.LoadController.propogateStateMessage(LoadController.java:231) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:62) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:498) at com.google.common.eventbus.EventSubscriber.handleEvent(EventSubscriber.java:74) at com.google.common.eventbus.SynchronizedEventSubscriber.handleEvent(SynchronizedEventSubscriber.java:47) at com.google.common.eventbus.EventBus.dispatch(EventBus.java:322) at com.google.common.eventbus.EventBus.dispatchQueuedEvents(EventBus.java:304) at com.google.common.eventbus.EventBus.post(EventBus.java:275) at net.minecraftforge.fml.common.LoadController.distributeStateMessage(LoadController.java:148) at net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Loader.initializeMods(Loader.java:828) at net.minecraftforge.fml.client.FMLClientHandler.finishMinecraftLoading(FMLClientHandler.java:357) at net.minecraft.client.Minecraft.func_71384_a(Minecraft.java:521) at net.minecraft.client.Minecraft.func_99999_d(Minecraft.java:352) at net.minecraft.client.main.Main.main(SourceFile:124) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:62) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:498) at net.minecraft.launchwrapper.Launch.launch(Launch.java:135) at net.minecraft.launchwrapper.Launch.main(Launch.java:28)

My mistake... It's supposed to be "src/main/resources/mcmod.info"

Ok, so I've built my first mod and when I launch Forge client, it starts and my plugin works. The only problem is that in the mod menu it doesn't say anything about the mod, not even the info I supplied in the mcmod.info file. All I see is "No mod information found. Ask your mod author to provide a mod mcmod.info file" When I close my minecraft and console pops up, I see this "[simplerings]: Mod simplerings is missing the required element 'name'. Substituting simplerings" My mcmod.info file is located in "src/resources/mcmod.info" and it looks as following [{ "modid": "simplerings", "name": "Simple Rings", "description": "Simple rings allow you to fly without having to get rare resources. But with great power comes great responsibility. Although basic ones are cheap, they're also limited.", "version": "${version}", "mcversion": "${mcversion}", "logoFile": "assets/examplemod/textures/logo.png", "url": "mglolenstine.xyz/mods/", "updateJSON": "mglolenstine.xyz/mods/SimpleRings/versions.json", "authorList": ["MGlolenstine"], "credits": "I'd like to thank my friends for not giving up on me." }] So please help!

After installing forge's build.gradle file in my IntelliJ project, I get this error.
