Thanks TGG. I found the troubleshooting guide you made for item rendering and am now using that to help find my issue. I feel like I'm making some progress and when I solve the problem, I will post my issue and solution in the troubleshooter comments. Link to guide for anyone also having rendering issues: http://greyminecraftcoder.blogspot.com.au/2015/03/troubleshooting-block-and-item-rendering.html avin

That resource has gotten me to where I am. Unfortunately I still seem to missing something. Please see dropbox link with class files and resources: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/360odcwsv3nm4qe/AABQH2WH_h4bAkFKLpVTt2m3a?dl=0 (Note that I may have not gotten the file paths perfect in that, I just now quickly threw everything in there. But I have gotten no missing model/texture messages from console as I already fixed those problems.)

I am getting started on my first mod through forge. So far I've added an item and a block to try things out. My problem is, neither is rendering in item form. Instead, it is rendered as the checkered block (what I assume is the default rendering for missing model files, etc.). The block only renders correctly when placed but not in the GUI, players hand, or the ground. The item renders correctly nowhere. I've looked through everything twice and can't figure out what I'm missing. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, avin

Thanks for the helpful reply. And that sounds much better than individual IDs.

Hey everybody, I'm new to the forge api and I'm hoping to get some pointers and an idea of the basics (so I can go from there). I've spent some time perusing the minecraft code after decompiling it through MCP so I'm slightly familiar with it. I have everything set up in eclipse and ready to go (as far as I know). Also I have a (mostly) solid understanding of java, so really I'm just hoping to get started with a couple simple things, such as adding an item (I went through the tutorial on the forum, which is outdated for 1.8 ). How does the constructor class for an item make the super call? Following the wiki tutorial I get an error telling me the super call for Item() can take no arguments. How is the item given an ID when constructed? Thanks for any help/tips.
