Before I start this post, I would like to inform anyone reading that I am new to coding in Java, especially with modding. I am using eclipse IDE to create somewhat of a test mod.

When loading debug on eclipse to preview my mod, mod loading gets stuck on 1/5, and the last message sent in the console is "[10:00:11] [Client thread/DEBUG] [FML]: Attempting to inject @SidedProxy classes into voidgear"

So I suspect it is something to do with the proxy classes. Here is my code, I've followed a few tutorials to get up to this point:

 

In Main.java:

package xyz.novality.voidgear;

import xyz.novality.voidgear.proxy.CommonProxy;
import xyz.novality.voidgear.util.Reference;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod.EventHandler;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod.Instance;
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 org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger;

@Mod(modid = Main.MODID, name = Main.NAME, version = Main.VERSION)
public class Main
{
    public static final String MODID = "voidgear";
    public static final String NAME = "Void Gear";
    public static final String VERSION = "1.0.0";

    private static Logger logger;
    
    @Instance
    public static Main instance;
    
    @SidedProxy(clientSide = Reference.CLIENT, serverSide = Reference.COMMON)
    public static CommonProxy proxy;
    
    @EventHandler
    public static void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event) {
    	logger = event.getModLog();
    }
    @EventHandler
    public static void init(FMLInitializationEvent event) {
    	logger.info("Mod successfully initialized!");
    }
    @EventHandler
    public static void postInit(FMLPostInitializationEvent event) {}
}

In ItemInit.java:

package xyz.novality.voidgear.init;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import xyz.novality.voidgear.objects.items.ItemBase;

public class ItemInit
{
	public static final List<Item> ITEMS = new ArrayList<Item>();
	
	public static final Item VOID_SWORD = new ItemBase("sword_void");
}

In ItemBase.java:

package xyz.novality.voidgear.objects.items;

import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import xyz.novality.voidgear.Main;
import xyz.novality.voidgear.init.ItemInit;
import xyz.novality.voidgear.util.IHasModel;

public class ItemBase extends Item implements IHasModel
{
	public ItemBase(String name)
	{
		setUnlocalizedName(name);
		setRegistryName(name);
		setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.COMBAT);
		
		ItemInit.ITEMS.add(this);
	}
	
	@Override
	public void registerModels() {
		Main.proxy.registerItemRenderer(this, 0, "inventory");
	}
	
}

In ClientProxy.java:

package xyz.novality.voidgear.proxy;

import net.minecraft.client.renderer.block.model.ModelResourceLocation;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraftforge.client.model.ModelLoader;

public class ClientProxy extends CommonProxy
{
	@Override
	public void registerItemRenderer(Item item, int meta, String id)
	{
		ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation(item, meta, new ModelResourceLocation(item.getRegistryName(), id));
	}
}

In CommonProxy.java:

package xyz.novality.voidgear.proxy;

import net.minecraft.item.Item;

public class CommonProxy {
	public void registerItemRenderer(Item item, int meta, String id) {}
}

In IHasModel.java:

package xyz.novality.voidgear.util;

public interface IHasModel 
{
	public void registerModels();
}

In Reference.java:

package xyz.novality.voidgear.util;

public class Reference {
	public static final String MODID = "voidgear";
	public static final String NAME = "Void Gear";
	public static final String VERSION = "1.0.0";
	public static final String CLIENT = "xyz.novality.voidgear.proxy.ClientProxy";
	public static final String COMMON = "xyz.novality.voidgear.proxy.CommonProxy";
}

In RegistryHandler.java:

package xyz.novality.voidgear.util.handlers;

import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraftforge.client.event.ModelRegistryEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.event.RegistryEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod.EventBusSubscriber;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.eventhandler.SubscribeEvent;
import xyz.novality.voidgear.init.ItemInit;
import xyz.novality.voidgear.util.IHasModel;

@EventBusSubscriber
public class RegistryHandler 
{
	@SubscribeEvent
	public static void onItemRegister(RegistryEvent.Register<Item> event)
	{
		event.getRegistry().registerAll(ItemInit.ITEMS.toArray(new Item[0]));
	}
	
	@SubscribeEvent
	public static void onModelRegister(ModelRegistryEvent event)
	{
		for(Item item : ItemInit.ITEMS)
			if (item instanceof IHasModel)
			{
				((IHasModel)item).registerModels();
			}
	}
}

In en_us.lang:

item.sword_void.name=Void Sword

In sword_void.json:

{
	"parent": "item/generated",
	"textures": {
		"layer0": "voidgear:items/sword_void"
	}
}

In mcmod.info:

[

  "modid": "voidgear",
  "name": "Void Gear",
  "description": "Void Gear mod lol",

  "authorList": ["Savage O-Press#0001"],
  "credits": "Savage O-Press#0001",
  "logoFile": "",
  "screenshots": [],

}
]

In pack.mcmeta:

{
    "pack": {
        "description": "voidgear resources",
        "pack_format": 3,
        "_comment": "A pack_format of 3 should be used starting with Minecraft 1.11. All resources, including language files, should be lowercase (eg: en_us.lang). A pack_format of 2 will load your mod resources with LegacyV2Adapter, which requires language files to have uppercase letters (eg: en_US.lang)."
    }
}

In build.gradle:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven { url = 'https://files.minecraftforge.net/maven' }
        jcenter()
        mavenCentral()

If any other files are needed, let me know ^-^

 

If anyone notices any code errors or anything that I have done wrong that could be causing this issue, please say so!
Reminder that this is a 1.12.2 mod for forge.
 

Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

1.12 is no longer supported on this forum.
Please update to a modern version of Minecraft to receive support.
