Hello, I have been working on a mod that generates blocks based on a given material, and I have ran into an issue that I am not sure about what causes it. After doing some testing I found out that my descriptionId's for my SignItems and WallSignBlocks are empty. Here is a log that prints the values of a few of the blocks that are used in the sign language provider case. Note that 'block' is the standing sign block.

Here is the code that is used to create the sign blocks, items and tile entities:

ublic static RegistryObject<TileEntityType<ATWSignTileEntity>> createSignTileEntity(String blockname, SimpleModule module, ATWMaterial material, ItemGroup itemGroup){
        RegistryObject<Block> wall = createSignBlock(material.getName()+"_wall_sign",
                () -> new ATWWallSignBlock(AbstractBlock.Properties.of(Material.WOOD, material.getMaterialColor()).sound(SoundType.WOOD).harvestTool(ToolType.AXE).harvestLevel(0).strength(3.0F, 4.0F).noCollission().noOcclusion())
                , module.BLOCKS_REGISTRY);
        RegistryObject<Block> standing = createSignBlock(blockname,
                () -> new ATWStandingSignBlock(AbstractBlock.Properties.of(Material.WOOD, material.getMaterialColor()).sound(SoundType.WOOD).harvestTool(ToolType.AXE).harvestLevel(0).strength(3.0F, 4.0F).noCollission().noOcclusion())
                , module.BLOCKS_REGISTRY);
        createSignItem(blockname,itemGroup,module.ITEM_REGISTRY, standing, wall);
        cutout = wall;
        cutout = standing;
        RegistryObject<TileEntityType<ATWSignTileEntity>> sign = module.TILE_ENTITY_REGISTRY.register(blockname, () -> TileEntityType.Builder.of(ATWSignTileEntity::new,
                        standing.get(),
                        wall.get()
                ).build(null));
        return(sign);
    }
    public static void createSignItem(String name, ItemGroup tab, DeferredRegister<Item> ITEM_REGISTER, RegistryObject<Block> wall, RegistryObject<Block> standing)
    {
        ITEM_REGISTER.register(name,() -> new SignItem(new Item.Properties().stacksTo(16).tab(tab),standing.get(),wall.get()));
    }
    public static RegistryObject<Block> createSignBlock(String name, Supplier<? extends Block> supplier, DeferredRegister<Block> BLOCK_REGISTER)
    {
        RegistryObject<Block> block = BLOCK_REGISTER.register(name, supplier);
        return block;
    }

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to take a look!

I don't think you explained this very well.

Its seems like you are saying some descriptor ids (which ones?) are blank in the resulting language file. You don't show the resulting file.

You are generating the language file in that ATWLanguageProvider.

Your log snippets doesn't show any blanks. Are these the ones that are blank in the file, they are all vanilla names?

Are they blank because your code is being passed wrong data, it is not being passed data or something else?

I just downloaded and ran your mod and now I can see the real problem. You have recursive death for your WallSignBlock.getDescriptionId()

The way this works in vanilla is that the StandingSignBlock and WallSignBlock both share the same SignItem.

The SignItem is linked to the StandingSignBlock which holds the description.

The WallSignBlock does 

this.asItem().getDescriptionId()

which is supposed to do the redirect to the StandingSignBlock via the item.

 

In your case this isn't working. There is something wrong with the way you are registering these blocks/items.

Your SignItem seems to be linked to the Wall block when it should be linked to the Standing version?

It is not obvious to me what you are doing wrong in your code though.

Spotted it, your parameters are in different orders

    public static void createSignItem(String name, ItemGroup tab, DeferredRegister<Item> ITEM_REGISTER, RegistryObject<Block> wall, RegistryObject<Block> standing)

    createSignItem(blockname,itemGroup,module.ITEM_REGISTRY, standing, wall);
 

 

Thank you so much! You are my hero friend
