flag is only ever set to true for the chestplate, which when removed, this code is no longer run. Remove this conditional.

Your methods do jack diddly squat. They are empty. They need to not be empty.

Add breakpoints.

public static void register(IForgeRegistry<Item> registry) { //something goes here maybe? I dunno. Maybe something to register my items? }

Touche.

if(item instanceof ItemAxe) { //now it works for mod axes too

Oh jesus fucking christ on a crutch. Use item.getRegistryName() instead of all of this garbage Also, you have a NullPointerException, which none of the above suggestions will fix. Your problem is here: @EventHandler public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event) { Utils.getLogger().info("Pre Initialization"); Utils.getLogger().info("Loading Proxies..."); proxy.registerRenders(); } @EventHandler public void Init(FMLInitializationEvent event) { ModItems.init(); ModItems.register(); Utils.getLogger().info("Initialization"); } You're registering your renderers before you ever create your item. Fuck. How are you people this incompetent? Of course you got a NPE, this wasn't even a hard problem to figure out. All you had to do was look at the order in which you were doing things and realize that they were WRONG. On top of that, you should be using the Registry events anyway!

logger.info("Is debug enabled? " + mc.gameSettings.showDebugInfo);

Does it work?

1) What is the error? 2) What version of Minecraft are you modding for? 3) Where do you call registerRenders()?

Yes

Instead of adding a dummy recipe, add a new recipe.

Oh gosh, leaving an exercise to the reader about writing in the length of the string first! The horror!

The ByteBufUtils are awesome, and definitely a better choice. But in terms of "here's what's in front of me, how can I solve this problem?" I could do it.

Knowing two things: 1) How to use my IDE 2) That strings are characters and characters are bytes I worked this out on my own: buf.writeBytes(("this is a string").getBytes());

You'd have to track them yourself. My suggestion would be to create a new advancement that uses the same system as Adventuring Time, but which has ALL the biomes in it.

Your original code had you trying to register an item named logo. In this code you're trying to register a block named Block1 (which doesn't exist).

(I'll point out that Minecraft practices were better than what I was doing before because I was never taught any sort of organizational schema...)

Actually, its the items that are 16 pixels. An actual slot graphic is 18x18. The 1 pixel border that gives the slot some "depth" extends beyond the 16x16 bounds. But otherwise you're correct.

Here's a hint. You're working in a language that has access to the file system.

You're doing everything wrong. You need to use the Registry events. http://mcforge.readthedocs.io/en/latest/concepts/registries/#registering-things
