I have been trying to give my ore textures but they just a pink and black checkerboard,

Here's the code in my block file:

 

 

package MOnM;

import java.util.Random;

import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.Side;
import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.SideOnly;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;
import net.minecraft.client.renderer.texture.IconRegister;
import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;

public class MineriteOre extends Block{

public static String textureName;

public MineriteOre(int par1, String textureName) {
super(par1, Material.rock);
setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabBlock);
this.textureName = textureName;

}

public int idDropped(int par1, Random rand, int par2){
 return this.blockID;

}

public int quantityDropped(Random rand) {
	return 1;
}

@Override
public void registerIcons(IconRegister r){
	this.blockIcon = r.registerIcon(MOnM.modID + ":" + textureName);
}
}

 

I looked at and tried quite a few things but still, checkerboard D:

Search some then you can find several posts about this

Minecraft forums even has a few tutorials.

 

Antways textures must be located at assets/modid/textures/blocks/textureName.png

try change

	@Override
public void registerIcons(IconRegister r){
	this.blockIcon = r.registerIcon(MOnM.modID + ":" + textureName);
}

to

 

	@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public void registerIcons(IconRegister r){
	this.blockIcon = r.registerIcon(MOnM.modid + ":" + (this.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5)));
}

It still didn't work  :'(

 

Here's my main mod file if it helps.

 

package MOnM;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod.EventHandler;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.event.FMLInitializationEvent;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.network.NetworkMod;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.LanguageRegistry;

@Mod(modid = MOnM.modID, version = "0.1", name = "More Ores 'n Minerals")
@NetworkMod(clientSideRequired = true, serverSideRequired = false)
public class MOnM {

public static final String modID = "MOnM";

public static Block MineriteOre;
public static Item MineriteDust;
public static Item MineriteGem;


	@EventHandler
public void load(FMLInitializationEvent event){

MineriteOre = new MineriteOre(2000,"mineriteore").setHardness(3.0F).setLightValue(1).setUnlocalizedName("mineriteore");
registerBlock(MineriteOre, "Minerite Ore", MineriteOre.getUnlocalizedName());





GameRegistry.registerWorldGenerator(new WorldGeneratorMOnM());
}
	public static void registerBlock(Block block, String name, String unlocalizedName){
		GameRegistry.registerBlock(block, MOnM.modID + unlocalizedName);
		LanguageRegistry.addName(block, name);
	}
}

 

Your first code is right!

I do it the same way!

But he can not find the textures.

 

Just create these folders inside of your eclipse:

 

assets/yourmodnameinsmall/textures/blocks/yourTexture.png.

 

Then he should find your texture.

 

And that way you did it is perfect!

But it could be easier .

ohhh..... it has to be in small...... FAIL

modid must be lowercase, and that is how it must be EVERYWHERE!

Both in your code and in your folder structure, so keep it lowercase everywhere

nope. My mod does not need lowercase. it works too.

nope. My mod does not need lowercase. it works too.

 

You will encounter issues later, trust me

And if you don't just search around, or wait and see you will
