From what I gather, just replace MinecraftForge.registerOre() with OreDictionary.registerOre() for registering, and the recipes seem pretty straightforward. Seems to work for me.

JAVA - How i love it...

for(int l = 0; l < 999; l++) umm... oreCopper.blockID, 100 umm... int j1 = random.nextInt(256); umm... I'm not sure how that would affect it, but it doesn't seem right compared to your original posted code. Also, you don't need to implement ITextureProvider, all blocks/items do already.

did u put in: import java.util.Random;

Slso, I forgot to say, put your sprites in there.

Just put all of your classes including your mod_XXX in a .zip in the mods folder. Easy.

Ahh, looked at a couple sources and figured it out (Universal components .

I was told to put my declarations in my load() method, but that makes the following code not work: if(itemstack.itemID == mod_Physicraft.helmetSteel.shiftedIndex || itemstack.itemID == mod_physicraft.plateSteel.shiftedIndex || itemstack.itemID == mod_physicraft.bootsSteel.shiftedIndex) I'm sure that's what I should do (put in load()), but then how would i import the variables in there? For now, i just put the id's manually, but that does not seem like a permanent fix.

Hey Calclavia, I've seen what you're doing all over the forums. I would suggest steering away from the name :"add-on". I'm not saying that it's my personal opinion, but it suggests a "lesser" mod, which would probably turn away potential makers. Speaking of UE, I think it's a great idea. Personally, I'd like Physicraft [my (extremely) WIP mod] to implement it in the near future. The link is below, and i work on it every day. v0.3 will have a lot of new features, so son't fear about the current noobishness of the mod. Eventually, i want to tackle some of the stuff ic2 adds (dusts and such). http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1278793-125-wip-smp-physicraft-indev-v02-moar-industrial-stuff-download-available/

It was recommended when i started Physicraft... But I'm updated now, and registerOre() is deprecated in eclipse :'(. (I know that it's useless now). EDIT: Oh I see, you used 120 (recomended), I'm updated to 128, so confusion has set in .

Do whatever you want to it, I probably made like 12 other mistakes. This is directed toward anyone with basic know-how. I'm still working in like 97 or something.

...Fixed(probably not) <--- Complete noob in case you can't tell.

Derp. Ty, added that and the final code and you to the credits.

Tutorial here: http://minecraftforge.net/wiki/How_to_use_the_ore_dictionary Methusaleh, if you want me to take it down, i will. It's format is heavily based off of yours, and I reference your tutorials throughout.

OK, tested and it works! I wrote a tutorial on the tutorials wiki linked on forum homepage. It's under Beginner tutorials. For those of you who are lazy, click here: http://minecraftforge.net/wiki/How_to_use_the_ore_dictionary.
