Thanks for the response, based on your observation and "me" looking at the code closer (a second pair of eyes), there were "2" mistakes I was making, first "all" of the strings for each row in the grid "MUST" be of the same size (or you will get an indexOutRangeException), then the last row item for the common character must be in ' ' (single quotes), I don't know how I missed that.. (looking at to hard I guess), now "all of my patterns work"... so even if I use: GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(ModItems.ljonesbadasspickaxe), "R", "RR", 'R', Blocks.cobblestone); - that crashed..., but once I modified the code to: GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(ModItems.ljonesbadasspickaxe), "R ", "RR", 'R', Blocks.cobblestone); - that worked !! Thanks guys..

I have an issue concerning a recipe that I created for rendering an item that I created based on the itemPickAxe class. I don't think it has to do with the class that it extends itself, but with the way the recipe is working. I have attached the code on GitHub (like you suggested) at: https://gist.github.com/lionel5116/ If you look at the file "ModRecipes.java", you notice a block of code: For some reason, If I use a pattern: GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(ModItems.ljonesbadasspickaxe), new Object[]{ "R", "RR", 'R', Blocks.cobblestone[/b] }); It will not create the item using the pattern shown, but the weird thing is, it will create the pickaxe if I remove the segment on the second row of the pattern, like the pattern shown below: GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(ModItems.ljonesbadasspickaxe), new Object[]{ "R", "R", 'R', Blocks.cobblestone }); If look at the code for sword here: //let's make a recipe for my bad ass sword GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(ModItems.ljonesmastersword), new Object[]{ "SS", "SS", "SS", 'S', Blocks.cobblestone }); This pattern works as it should using the pattern outlined. I have attached all of my main files on Git as mentioned: https://gist.github.com/lionel5116/

THANK YOU ..THANK YOU.. THANK YOU...!! that worked... you rock man. trying to learn modding from those teach yourself Mod development books from amazon and google books only gives you basic code (and it's always a couple of versions off) can really be a headache. They give you concepts.. basic code, but the real education from from you guys.. Thanks again man for all of your help, I have driving myself crazy on this issue for a week .. (now I can sleep -

Thanks Man.. In a nutshell here is the layout of the code (condensed), I will also include the crash report details at the end. This is my ItemModFood.java class *** public class ItemModFood extends ItemFood{ public ItemModFood(String unLocalizedName, int healAmount,float saturationModifier,boolean wolvsFavorite) { super(healAmount,saturationModifier,wolvsFavorite); this.setUnlocalizedName(unLocalizedName); this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabMaterials); } } This is my ModItems.java class *** public final class ModItems { public static Item berry; public static void createItems(){ //below would be to register a basic item instead //GameRegistry.registerItem(berry = new BasicItem("berry"), "berry"); //let's change this to register a food item instead GameRegistry.registerItem(berry = new ItemModFood("berry",3,0.3F,true),"berry"); } } This is my ItemRenderRegister class**** public final class ItemRenderRegister { public static void reg(Item myitem){ Minecraft.getMinecraft().getRenderItem().getItemModelMesher().register(myitem, 0, new ModelResourceLocation("ljonesmodding" + ":" + myitem.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5), "inventory")); } public static void registerItemRender(){ reg(ModItems.berry); } } This is my Main class details: In my preInit @EventHandler public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event) { ModItems.createItems(); } In my Init: @EventHandler public void init(FMLInitializationEvent event) { GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(berry, 4), new Object[]{ "A", "A", "A", 'A', Items.apple }); if(event.getSide() == Side.CLIENT) /*it will place this is a proxy class later */ { /*THIS IS WHERE THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS WITH REGISTERING THE RENDERS */ ItemKey.registerRenders(); //register my food item //ItemBerry.registerRenders(); ItemRenderRegister.registerItemRender(); } } Everything comes up find in regards to the texture and and item being seen in my inventory. But as I said earlier, when I try to create the Item, my game crashes with the following report: ---- Minecraft Crash Report ---- // This doesn't make any sense!

Thanks guys for your help. I refactored the code to be cleaner (like you guys suggested) and it compiled and my Items are still showing the proper textures. However I am getting a "java.lang.NullPointerException: Rendering screen" whenever I try to create the "custom" food item from a recipe. I can do a /give .. and can get the item without a problem, it just crashes whenever I try to "addRecipe it" Thanks
