Sgurtler

Yeah I took two years of It but never payed attention to terms Like I know how to make my own object I use arrays I know what int floats string short long boolean and char are. Anyway thanks for trying to help me I think I'm going to refresh myself on java, btw so cool to talk to you I've used you camera mod before that's crazy. One more thing before I give up umm what is the water bottle in forge called is it like WATER_BOTTLE or is it GLASS_BOTTLE GameRegistry.addShapelessRecipe(new ItemStack(Red_Dyed_Water_Bottle),new ItemStack(Items.GLASS_BOTTLE),new ItemStack(Items.DYE,1,1));

what do you mean by the field? Like do I have to have the item do something to work ,add a crafting recipe to a FMLInitializationEvent Event Handler? And sorry I was defensive I was reading you Quote didn't realize you have it under every post.

Yea An item that does nothing as of right now is what I'm going for I'm just trying to make an item before I make it do anything getting stuck on the first step. So what do I need to do? To get an item that does nothing ? Do I need a crafting recipe,Can't I just access it from the creative miscellaneous tab? You don't need to be rude I'm 18,and legitimately trying to learn how to make mods I'm following tutorials and trying some things on my own and am just looking for help.

I've Just started trying to make this is the Mod file I think pretty sure lol package io.github.SamGurtler;import io.github.SamGurtler.Item_Red_Dyed_Water_Bottle; import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs; import net.minecraft.init.Blocks; import net.minecraft.init.Items; import net.minecraft.item.Item; import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack; import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod; import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod.EventHandler; import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLInitializationEvent; import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLPreInitializationEvent; import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry; @Mod(modid = CRSoda.MODID, version = CRSoda.VERSION) public class CRSoda { public static final String MODID = "CRSoda"; public static final String VERSION = "1.0"; public static Item Red_Dyed_Water_Bottle; @EventHandler public void preinit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event) { CRSoda.register(Red_Dyed_Water_Bottle); CRSoda.init(); /* // some example code Red_Dyed_Water_Bottle = new Item_Red_Dyed_Water_Bottle().setRegistryName(CRSoda.MODID, "Red Dyed Water Bottle"); GameRegistry.register(Red_Dyed_Water_Bottle.setRegistryName(Red_Dyed_Water_Bottle.getRegistryName())); //GameRegistry.registerItem(Red_Dyed_Water_Bottle,"Red Dyed Water Bottle"); //GameRegistry.register(Red_Dyed_Water_Bottle.) */ } public static final void init() { Red_Dyed_Water_Bottle = new Item_Red_Dyed_Water_Bottle().setRegistryName(CRSoda.MODID, "Red Dyed Water Bottle"); register(Red_Dyed_Water_Bottle); } private static final void register(Item i) { GameRegistry.register(i.setUnlocalizedName(i.getRegistryName().toString())); } /* @EventHandler public void init(FMLInitializationEvent event) { // some example code ItemStack Water_Bottle = new ItemStack(Items.GLASS_BOTTLE.) GameRegistry.addShapelessRecipe(ItemStack (Items.Red_Dyed_Water_Bottle), Items.); GameRegistry.registerItem(Red_Dyed_Water_Bottle,"Red_Dyed_Water_Bottle"); }*/ } and this is the Item file that I think might be the problem package io.github.SamGurtler; import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs; import net.minecraft.item.Item; import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry; public class Item_Red_Dyed_Water_Bottle extends Item { public Item_Red_Dyed_Water_Bottle() { setUnlocalizedName(CRSoda.MODID+"_"+"Red Dyed Water Bottle"); // my book says to do this again and I'm not sure why GameRegistry.registerItem(this,CRSoda.MODID+":"+"Red Dyed Water Bottle"); setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.MISC); } } Here is the crash report ---- Minecraft Crash Report ---- // But it works on my machine.
