If you mean once every block update tick (about the time it takes wheat to grow a stage, iirc), override the block's updateTick() function with your code to put the item in the chest. If you mean once every game tick, I don't know an easy way to do that. You can call this.worldIn.getBlockState(pos.down(3)).getBlock() where 'this' is the block class to get the chest three blocks down. I don't know how to put items in a chest, but you if you look through the minecraft source code, you should be able to at least figure out which functions to use. Good luck!

Does Forge crash even with no mods installed? If not, you might want to narrow it down and see which mod is causing it.

I wanted to make my own textures for horses, so I made my own mob that is basically a horse but with the texture code changed. The trouble is, it's not behaving exactly like vanilla horses. Vanilla horses walk for at least a few steps at a time, whereas mine will walk a step, stop, and walk some more. This doesn't sound like much, I know, but it really looks silly. I'm really confused as to why there's any difference, though. Vanilla horses inherit from AbstractHorse, which sets the AI, and then don't change the AI at all. Mine too inherit from AbstractHorse and don't change the AI. How come they're different? Here's my horse class: And here's the rest of my classes, just in case: Any help figuring this out would be greatly appreciated! Edit: Found the solution here. Turns out my update frequency was way too high.

Ah, that makes sense.

Hooray! It works! Funny, the only thing I found when searching for why my lang file didn't work was someone saying it needed to be en_us, not en_US, but changing it to en_US fixed it. And now that I also register the model for the item, the item has a texture! Thank you everyone!

Thanks! That did the trick. Yeah, I guess I mostly forgot everything's a pointer in Java. So now I have an item for it, and I fixed the missing texture for the block (it needed to be ore_reeds:blocks/ore_essence, not just blocks/ore_essence), but the item still has a missing texture and the lang file isn't working. My lang file is at src/main/resources/assets/ore_reeds/lang/en_us.lang and looks like: tile.ore_essence.name=Ore Essence I've also tried tile.ore_reeds:ore_essence.name=Ore Essence but in both cases my block shows up in-game as tile.ore_reeds:ore_essence.name. For my json files I've got src/main/resources/assets/ore_reeds/blockstates/ore_essence.json: { "variants": { "normal": { "model": "ore_reeds:ore_essence" } } } src/main/resources/assets/ore_reeds/models/item/ore_essence.json: { "parent": "ore_reeds:block/ore_essence" } and src/main/resources/assets/ore_reeds/models/block/ore_essence.json: { "parent": "block/cube_all", "textures": { "all": "ore_reeds:blocks/ore_essence" } } Thanks again for helping me get this far!

Thank you! I'd thought that declaring the variable automatically called the constructor like in C++, but I guess not in Java. It no longer crashes, and the block now shows up in the game! It has no texture and the item for it still doesn't exist, but I think I might be able to figure those out. Thank you all for all your help!

enough to get me by, but I guess I'll have to figure out all this weird reflection stuff Java has. Edit: Okay, I'm a dumbo who should have read the crash log, which is much more helpful than the error message. Namely, Time: 8/24/18 3:01 PM Description: Initializing game java.lang.NullPointerException: Can't use a null-name for the registry, object null. at com.google.common.base.Preconditions.checkNotNull(Preconditions.java:864) at net.minecraftforge.registries.ForgeRegistry.add(ForgeRegistry.java:272) at net.minecraftforge.registries.ForgeRegistry.add(ForgeRegistry.java:266) at net.minecraftforge.registries.ForgeRegistry.register(ForgeRegistry.java:110) at felinoid.ore_reeds.ModBlocks.registerBlock(ModBlocks.java:28) (followed by more stack tracing). So it looks like I'm trying to resister it to a null registry? How do I specify a registry that is not null?

Ok, so I made those methods static: @SubscribeEvent public static void registerBlock(RegistryEvent.Register<Block> event) { event.getRegistry().register(ore_essence); } @SubscribeEvent public static void registerItemBlocks(RegistryEvent.Register<Item> event) { event.getRegistry().register(item_ore_essence); } Now it crashes Minecraft while Forge is loading.

I haven't found a good tutorial for 1.12, so I've been using a mix of tutorials for older versions, looking at the Minecraft source, looking at the java output of MCreator, and reading random forum posts. Unfortunately the only one of those that really describes how to register events the new way was a random forum post. Ok, so the preinit function in OreReeds.java now looks like this: @Mod.EventHandler public void preInit(final FMLPreInitializationEvent event) { MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(ModBlocks.class); } However, the block is still not showing up. And my BlockOreEssence.java now looks like: package felinoid.ore_reeds; import net.minecraft.block.Block; import net.minecraft.block.material.MapColor; import net.minecraft.block.material.Material; import net.minecraft.block.state.IBlockState; import net.minecraft.world.IBlockAccess; import net.minecraft.util.math.BlockPos; import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs; import net.minecraft.util.BlockRenderLayer; import net.minecraft.util.EnumBlockRenderType; import net.minecraftforge.fml.relauncher.Side; import net.minecraftforge.fml.relauncher.SideOnly; import net.minecraft.block.material.Material; import net.minecraft.block.state.IBlockState; import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs; public class BlockOreEssence extends Block { protected BlockOreEssence() { super(Material.ROCK); setUnlocalizedName("ore_reeds_ore_essence"); setRegistryName("ore_essence"); this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.BUILDING_BLOCKS); } /** * Get the MapColor for this Block and the given BlockState */ @Override public MapColor getMapColor(IBlockState state, IBlockAccess worldIn, BlockPos pos) { return MapColor.BLACK; } } @diesieben07, is that the correct way to solve the other problems?

I'm trying to make a mod that adds a block. I've got three java files: src/main/java/ore_reeds/OreReeds.java: package felinoid.ore_reeds; import net.minecraftforge.event.RegistryEvent; import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod; import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod.EventHandler; import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod.Instance; import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.*; import net.minecraft.block.Block; @Mod(modid = OreReeds.MODID, name = OreReeds.NAME, version = OreReeds.VERSION) public class OreReeds { public static final String NAME = "Ore Reeds"; public static final String MODID = "ore_reeds"; public static final String VERSION = "1.12.2-1.0.0"; @Mod.Instance("ore_reeds") public static OreReeds instance; @Mod.EventHandler public void preInit(final FMLPreInitializationEvent event) {} @Mod.EventHandler public void init(final FMLInitializationEvent event) {} @Mod.EventHandler public void postInit(final FMLPostInitializationEvent event) {} } src/main/java/ore_reeds/blocks/ModBlocks.java: package felinoid.ore_reeds; import net.minecraft.block.Block; import net.minecraft.item.Item; import net.minecraft.block.material.Material; import net.minecraft.block.state.IBlockState; import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs; import net.minecraft.util.BlockRenderLayer; import net.minecraft.util.EnumBlockRenderType; import net.minecraftforge.event.RegistryEvent; import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.eventhandler.SubscribeEvent; import net.minecraftforge.registries.IForgeRegistryEntry; import net.minecraftforge.registries.*; public class ModBlocks { public static Block ore_essence; public static Item item_ore_essence = Item.getItemFromBlock(ore_essence); public static void preInit() {} public static void init() {} @SubscribeEvent public void registerBlock(RegistryEvent.Register<Block> event) { event.getRegistry().register(ore_essence); } @SubscribeEvent public void registerItemBlocks(RegistryEvent.Register<Item> event) { event.getRegistry().register(item_ore_essence); } } (I'm pretty much entirely guessing at how to register things here, so maybe that's the problem.) and src/main/java/blocks/OreEssence.java: package felinoid.ore_reeds; import net.minecraft.block.Block; import net.minecraft.block.material.Material; import net.minecraft.block.state.IBlockState; import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs; import net.minecraft.util.BlockRenderLayer; import net.minecraft.util.EnumBlockRenderType; import net.minecraftforge.fml.relauncher.Side; import net.minecraftforge.fml.relauncher.SideOnly; import net.minecraft.block.material.Material; import net.minecraft.block.state.IBlockState; import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs; public class BlockOreEssence extends Block { protected BlockOreEssence() { super(Material.ROCK); setUnlocalizedName("ore_essence"); setRegistryName("ore_essence"); this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.BUILDING_BLOCKS); } /** * Get the MapColor for this Block and the given BlockState */ public MapColor getMapColor(IBlockState state, IBlockAccess worldIn, BlockPos pos) { return MapColor.BLACK; } } There's also some json files, a texture, and a lang, but from what I understand it should at least show up even without those. My block is not showing up in the creative mode inventory, and if I try to use /give or /setblock, it tells me ore_reeds:ore_essence isn't a real block. Any idea what could be going wrong?
