[Proplerly learning to mod]

I heard that im not supposed to follow youtube tutorials like technovision and harrytalks, but if so, then what is the best way of learning to code and create a minecraft mod? (assuming the person already has basic understanding of Java)

[error when adding katana sword (1.14.4)]

I was following Harry talks tutorial to weapons and tools, and while following, i encountered an error when making the SwordItem on this line:

 

 

"ItemList.wooden_katana = new SwordItem(ToolMaterialList.katana_wooden_material, -1.0f, 6.0f, new Item.Properties().group(ItemGroup.MISC)).setRegistryName(location(wooden_katana));"

 

 

At the end of this line, where it says "wooden_katana", it gives the following error:

 

"wooden_katana cannot be resolved to a variable"

 

even though i set the variable in the class "ToolMaterialList".

 

The second error on the line is shown in the typical red underlines from "new SwordItem" to "ItemGroup.Misc))" which says:

 

"The constructor SwordItem(ToolMaterialList, float, float, Item.Properties) is undefined"

 

How do I fix these errors?

[Changing attack speed of Sword]

How do i change the attack cooldown of the sword? whenever i try to copy the code for attack speed to my ToolKatana and run it, it still shows the same 1.6 speed. How do i fix this?

 

Here is my code:

 

package com.redstonewiz.ancientweapons.items.tools;

import com.google.common.collect.Multimap;
import com.redstonewiz.ancientweapons.Main;
import com.redstonewiz.ancientweapons.init.ModItems;
import com.redstonewiz.ancientweapons.util.IHasModel;

import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;
import net.minecraft.entity.SharedMonsterAttributes;
import net.minecraft.entity.ai.attributes.AttributeModifier;
import net.minecraft.inventory.EntityEquipmentSlot;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemSword;

public class ToolKatana extends ItemSword implements IHasModel {
	
	private final float attackDamage;

	public ToolKatana(String name, ToolMaterial material)
	{
		super(material);
		setUnlocalizedName(name);
		setRegistryName(name);
		setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.COMBAT);
		this.attackDamage = 10.0F + material.getAttackDamage();
		
		ModItems.ITEMS.add(this);
	}
	
	@Override
	public void registerModels() {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		Main.proxy.registerItemRenderer(this, 0, "inventory");
	}

	@Override
	public void RegisterModels() {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		
	}
	
	public Multimap<String, AttributeModifier> getItemAttributeModifiers(EntityEquipmentSlot equipmentSlot)
    {
        Multimap<String, AttributeModifier> multimap = super.getItemAttributeModifiers(equipmentSlot);

        if (equipmentSlot == EntityEquipmentSlot.MAINHAND)
        {
        	
            multimap.put(SharedMonsterAttributes.ATTACK_SPEED.getName(), new AttributeModifier(ATTACK_SPEED_MODIFIER, "Weapon modifier", -2.4D, 5));
        }

        return multimap;
    }
	
}

 

[Idea for a minecraft mod]

Are there any ideas for Minecraft mods which haven't been done yet? im struggling to find any good ideas as people have already done everything, but i still have hope that there is still something i can do or take advantage of. Are there any ideas that i can take from the real world? Or from other fictional work. Thank you for your time.
