Now I'm going to tell you upfront that I am a beginner at modding in Minecraft. First time doing it and I really want to get into it. Yes, I do know Java as I program in it every day at work. Now I was following a tutorial on youtube on how to make Minecraft mods. Here is the link if you are interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQLhheYcnrY
And yes the code is dirty and could be a lot better.
I have created a ruby in the game and All I want to do for now I see the dang texture. I have check over and over to see if the json was malformed or I miss spelled the modID wrong and anywhere else in my code that relates to the dang thing. But I can't find the problem... I see that it reads the en_us.lang file correctly but just doesn't get the texture. There are no errors being reported in the console. So I'm stumped. Can anyone help me? Here is the Github link to my code https://github.com/Austin-Earl-Private/First-Mod
