FileNotFoundException when loading BlockState

[Will Bradley]

I have generated a blockstate .json file in src/generated/resources/assets/multicolored_dragon_mod/blockstates/multicolored_enderdragon_egg.json . My registration code in MyMod.java is as follows:

public static final DeferredRegister<Block> BLOCKS
    = DeferredRegister.create(ForgeRegistries.BLOCKS, Constants.MODID);
public static final DeferredRegister<Item> BLOCK_ITEMS
    = DeferredRegister.create(ForgeRegistries.ITEMS, Constants.MODID);
public static RegistryObject<Block> DRAGON_EGG_BLOCK
    = BLOCKS.register(Constants.EGG_ID, ColoredEggBlock::new);
public static RegistryObject<Item> DRAGON_EGG_BLOCK_ITEM
    = BLOCK_ITEMS.register(Constants.EGG_ID,
    () -> new BlockItem(
        DRAGON_EGG_BLOCK.get(),
        new Item.Properties().rarity(Rarity.RARE)
    )
);

// ...

public MyMod() {
// ...
    EntityRenderers.register(EntityType.ENDER_DRAGON, ColoredDragonRenderer::new);
    MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(this);
  
    BLOCKS.register(FMLJavaModLoadingContext.get().getModEventBus());
    BLOCK_ITEMS.register(FMLJavaModLoadingContext.get().getModEventBus());

    FMLJavaModLoadingContext.get().getModEventBus()
        .addListener(ModPacketHandler::register);
}

Yet I get the following FileNotFoundException warning on load:

[05:21:54] [Worker-Main-14/WARN]: Exception loading blockstate definition: multicolored_dragon_mod:blockstates/multicolored_dragon_egg.json: java.io.FileNotFoundException: multicolored_dragon_mod:blockstates/multicolored_dragon_egg.json

Looking with a debugger, I found that in SimpleReloadableResourceManager::getResources, this.namespacedPacks doesn't contain multicolored_dragon_mod, which is very strange... any help would be appreciated.

Changed dummy to real world variables

you didn't make the blockstate json. X.x

Just because you register a block, doesn't mean Minecraft generates those model & blockstate files.

show the Model, why did you replace your Mod id with 'MODID'?

[DePhoegon]

src/main/resources/assets/MODID/blockstates/my_blockstate.json

why aren't you using this one?    I personally tend to do my own support files, and this location, from within the main folder. 

Are your other blocks working?  also, I don't see the name of the 'block' that you the file is meant to match.

Sorry, I tried to anonymize it by replacing my real names with dummy variables, but I wrote it at 5 AM so it was all screwy. My bad.

It's fixed now.
