So, I found a tutorial for 1.8 and followed it and it worked. I made an item called test_item. I ran it, as shown in the tutorial and it worked. Yay!. Now, I wanted to change the code to call test_item, jack_cat instead. So, I changed all references from test_item to jack_cat. I even changed the version from 1.0 to 1.1 in my reference file. When I run minecraft it doesn't recognize any of the changes. Is there some kind of refresh I have to do? Thanks again. Code below. package com.Jacksmod.init; import net.minecraft.client.Minecraft; import net.minecraft.client.resources.model.ModelResourceLocation; import net.minecraft.item.Item; import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry; import com.Jacksmod.Reference; public class JackItems { public static Item jack_cat; public static void init(){ jack_cat = new Item().setUnlocalizedName("jack_cat"); } public static void register(){ GameRegistry.registerItem(jack_cat, jack_cat.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5)); } public static void registerRenders() { registerRender(jack_cat); } public static void registerRender(Item item) { Minecraft.getMinecraft().getRenderItem().getItemModelMesher().register(item, 0, new ModelResourceLocation(Reference.MOD_ID+":"+item.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5),"inventory")); } } package com.Jacksmod.proxy; import com.Jacksmod.init.JackItems; public class clientproxy extends commonproxy { @Override public void registerRenders(){ JackItems.registerRenders(); } } package com.Jacksmod.proxy; public class commonproxy { public void registerRenders(){ } } package com.Jacksmod; import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod; import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod.EventHandler; import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.SidedProxy; import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLInitializationEvent; import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLPostInitializationEvent; import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLPreInitializationEvent; import com.Jacksmod.init.JackItems; import com.Jacksmod.proxy.commonproxy; @Mod(modid = Reference.MOD_ID,name = Reference.MOD_NAME, version = Reference.VERSION) public class mainmod { @SidedProxy(clientSide = Reference.CLIENT_PROXY_CLASS,serverSide = Reference.SERVER_PROXY_CLASS) public static commonproxy proxy; @EventHandler public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event){ JackItems.init(); JackItems.register(); } @EventHandler public void Init(FMLInitializationEvent event){ proxy.registerRenders(); } @EventHandler public void postInit(FMLPostInitializationEvent event){ } } package com.Jacksmod; public class Reference { public static final String MOD_ID = "Jack"; public static final String MOD_NAME = "JackMod"; public static final String VERSION = "1.1"; public static final String CLIENT_PROXY_CLASS = "com.Jacksmod.proxy.clientproxy"; public static final String SERVER_PROXY_CLASS = "com.Jacksmod.proxy.commonproxy"; }

Thanks for the quick reply. I downloaded the following zip: forge-1.8-11.14.1.1337-src from the promotions section of source forge. Is this not 1.8? Thanks again

So, my son wanted to make mods and to be honest, i am interested as well. I have setup Eclipse with Forge and watched some tutorials and I am trying to make a basic block appear in the Creative Tab. When I compile and run Minecraft I don't see a block. I will paste my code below but I was thinking that I need to pass an ID to the block. Eclipse doesn't find a method to pass those parameters. Or perhaps I need a texture or image file? Not sure...any help would be appreciated. Thanks package com.Jackmods.jack1mod; import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod; import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLInitializationEvent; import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLPostInitializationEvent; import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLPreInitializationEvent; public class jack1mod { @Mod.EventHandler public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event) { } @Mod.EventHandler public void Init(FMLInitializationEvent event) { modItems.init(); modBlocks.init(); } @Mod.EventHandler public void postInit(FMLPostInitializationEvent event) { } } class JackBlock extends Block { protected JackBlock(int i, Material materialIn) { super(i, materialIn); // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabMisc); } } public class modBlocks { public static Block JackBlock = new JackBlock(500, Material.rock).setUnlocalizedName("JackBlock"); public static void init(){ RegisterHelper.registerBlock(JackBlock); } } public class RegisterHelper { public static void registerBlock(Block block) { GameRegistry.registerBlock(block, block.getUnlocalizedName()); } public static void registerItem(Item item){ GameRegistry.registerItem(item, item.getUnlocalizedName()); } }
