Okay. This is my third time posting on this forum in two days. I feel soooooo dumb right now. I'm obviously new to modding. I am using wuppy's book tutorial to learn to mod with 1.8 and eclipse. I have four custom items right now, which should turn into two items with two metadata tags (meaning, I have a "key" and an item called "sam," because I have "Grey Key" and "Red Key", then I have "Sam Dust" and "Sam Ingot.") My key textures both work fine in game, but I have tried doing the exact same thing with the samingots and samdust in the json, lang, and texture files (changing the appropriate names, of course), and I get nothing but purple-black cubes no matter what I try. Here's an example of my key and sam jsons. keygrey.json { "parent": "builtin/generated", "textures": { "layer0": "nathantestmod:items/keygrey" }, "display": { "thirdperson": { "rotation": [ -90, 0, 0 ], "translation": [0, 1, -3 ], "scale": [ 1.7, 1.7, 1.7 ] } } } The red key is the same as this, just with keyred in the layer0 line. ingotsam.json { "parent": "builtin/generated", "textures": { "layer0": "nathantestmod:items/item.ingotsam" }, "display": { "thirdperson": { "rotation": [ -90, 0, 0 ], "translation": [0, 1, -3 ], "scale": [ 1.7, 1.7, 1.7 ] } } } The sam dust file is the same as this with dustsam in the layer0. The json files are all located in assets/nathantestmod/models/item My texture files are named: keygrey.png, keyred.png, ingotsam.png, dustsam.png and are located in assets/nathantestmod/textures/items The lang files I know are fine because the names of all four items are fine in game. The coding to register all the items in the mod class is as follows: @EventHandler public void PostInit(FMLPostInitializationEvent event) { if(event.getSide() == Side.CLIENT) { RenderItem renderItem = Minecraft.getMinecraft().getRenderItem(); renderItem.getItemModelMesher().register(key, 0, new ModelResourceLocation(MODID + ":" + ((ItemKey) key).getNameFromDamage(0), "inventory")); renderItem.getItemModelMesher().register(key, 1, new ModelResourceLocation(MODID + ":" + ((ItemKey) key).getNameFromDamage(1), "inventory")); renderItem.getItemModelMesher().register(sam, 0, new ModelResourceLocation(MODID + ":" + ((ItemSamGeneric) sam).getNameFromDamage(0), "inventory")); renderItem.getItemModelMesher().register(sam, 1, new ModelResourceLocation(MODID + ":" + ((ItemSamGeneric) sam).getNameFromDamage(1), "inventory")); } Sorry about my stupidity in modding. I'm just really slow to learn stuff like this and the tutorial is not as clear as I would like it to be. Thanks for any assistance.

Ohhhh... I figured it out. LOL Thanks anyway.

Ok I'm sorry. Here's the first method, right between the imports and the recipes in the Init Method. public class NathanTestMod { public static final String MODID = "nathantestmod"; public static final String VERSION = "1.0"; public static Item key; public static Item sam; @EventHandler public void PreInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event) { key = new ItemKey(); sam = new ItemSamGeneric(); if(event.getSide() == Side.CLIENT) { ItemKey.registerVariants(); } and here's the postInit method: @EventHandler public void PostInit(FMLPostInitializationEvent event) { if(event.getSide() == Side.CLIENT) { RenderItem renderItem = Minecraft.getMinecraft().getRenderItem(); renderItem.getItemModelMesher().register(key, 0, new ModelResourceLocation(MODID + ":" + ((ItemKey) key).getNameFromDamage(0), "inventory")); renderItem.getItemModelMesher().register(key, 1, new ModelResourceLocation(MODID + ":" + ((ItemKey) key).getNameFromDamage(1), "inventory")); renderItem.getItemModelMesher().register(sam, 0, new ModelResourceLocation(MODID + ":" + ((ItemKey) sam).getNameFromDamage(0), "inventory")); renderItem.getItemModelMesher().register(sam, 1, new ModelResourceLocation(MODID + ":" + ((ItemKey) sam).getNameFromDamage(1), "inventory")); } } The weird thing is, eclipse showed no errors in any of the classes.

Here is my item class code. Can someone please tell me what to change? I just want to set metadata to the two items: samdust and samingot, within the class SamItemGeneric: 1 package com.nathantestmod; 2 3 import net.minecraft.item.Item; 4 import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack; 5 6 import java.util.List; 7 8 import net.minecraft.client.resources.model.ModelBakery; 9 import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs; 10 import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry; 11 import net.minecraftforge.fml.relauncher.Side; 12 import net.minecraftforge.fml.relauncher.SideOnly; 13 14 public class ItemSamGeneric extends Item 15 { 16 private static String name = "sam"; 17 private static String[] metaNames = { "dust", "ingot" }; 18 19 public ItemSamGeneric() 20 { 21 GameRegistry.registerItem(this, name); 22 setUnlocalizedName(NathanTestMod.MODID + "_" + name); 23 setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabMisc); 24 setHasSubtypes(true); 25 } 26 27 public String getName() 28 { 29 return name; 30 } 31 32 @Override 33 public String getUnlocalizedName(ItemStack par1ItemStack) 34 { 35 return super.getUnlocalizedName() + "." + metaNames[par1ItemStack.getItemDamage()]; 36 } 37 public static String getNameFromDamage(int damage) 38 { 39 return name + metaNames[damage]; 40 } 41 public static void registerVariants() 42 { 43 String[] variantNames = new String[metaNames.length]; 44 for (int i = 0; i < metaNames.length; i++) 45 { 46 variantNames = NathanTestMod.MODID + ":" + getNameFromDamage(i); 47 } 48 ModelBakery.addVariantName(NathanTestMod.sam, variantNames); 49 } 50 @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT) 51 @Override 52 public void getSubItems(Item itemIn, CreativeTabs tab, List subItems) 53 { 54 for (int i = 0; i < metaNames.length; ++i) 55 { 56 subItems.add(new ItemStack(itemIn, 1, i)); 57 } 58 } 59 60 }

Would this be fixed by changing the code lines public String getUnlocalizedName(ItemStack par1ItemStack) { return super.getUnlocalizedName() + "." + metaNames[par1ItemStack.getItemDamage()]; } to "par2ItemStack"?

Hello. I am trying to use wuppy's tutorial book on modding mc 1.8 with eclipse and forge. Everything in the file and both item classes is fine compared to what is in the book, it follows it to the letter; but yet I receive this message when trying to run minecraft through the eclipse: AL lib: (EE) alc_cleanup: 1 device not closed Here is the crash report: ---- Minecraft Crash Report ---- // This is a token for 1 free hug.

OH THANK GOD! It worked. A hearty thanks to all who helped!

Wait do you mean the one at C:\Users\[myusername] ?

Okay. Reinstalled eclipse, forge, and jdk. All correct versions: Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers Windows x64. forge-1.8-11.14.4.1563-mdk. jdk-1.8_92 windows x64. SAME ISSUE. This is getting frustrating cause I've had this problem for the past week. Tried googling it, there isn't anything detailing this problem. You've been helpful and I appreciate it. Do you have any more suggestions, or a site you can link me that'll help?

I tried again. 1. I downloaded the recommended version of Forge mdk. (forge-1.8-11.14.4.1563-mdk) 2. I extracted it into the Programming parent file alongside eclipse (within its own folder) 3. I copied the contents into a folder separate for the mod. (my testmod folder) 4. I opened the testmod folder and ran the command: gradlew setupDecompWorkspace 5. Step four failed, so I tried the command in the original forge extracted folder. Still failed. Same error message too.

Ok, I copied all the files from the forge folder to a new folder on my desktop for the mod, but I've now tried running the cmd prompt from both folders (where .gradlew exists) and still it fails the "mergeJars" process.

Forgive me if I sound ignorant, I just want to make sure I understood you clearly. You said to create a separate folder for my mod stuff. Is this within the forge folder, or the programming folder (would it be Desktop/Programming/forge-1.8-11.14.3.1502-src/modstuff or would it be Desktop/Programming/modstuff)? Also, the command should still be run from the forge folder?

Ok, I just tried running it from the eclipse window and it didn't recognize the command. Here are my folder hierarchies: Desktop/Programming/Eclipse Desktop/Programming/Forge-1.8-11.14.3.1502-src (both of these unpacked from the original downloaded zip files) My original attempt was to go into the Forge folder mentioned above and run the command. Also, I just noticed, the MCP data version reads: snapshot_20141130. Don't know if that's useful or not.

So, if I'm to be using the "eclipse" folder within the "forge" unpacked folder, I need to do the command: gradlew setupDecompWorkspace within the "eclipse" folder? (What I mean by that is when I pull up eclipse, the directory I choose on the very first window is the eclipse folder within the forge. And yes I've unpacked both the ZIPs.)

I was just following the tutorial to the letter hoping I had spelled it wrong the first time or something. I've tried several times in 1.8 with no luck. And yes I've installed the jdk 1.8_91 for the correct windows x64. I even did the javac command to check and it came out fine.
