I have registered the block but the supplier.get() doesn't resolve the block for some reason. Any ideas what is wrong?

[warjort]

You are trying to access the unregistered block during classloading (static initialisation).

You need to understand how deferred references work (Suppliers, RegistryObject, etc.) and when you can call get()

This is an important pattern within forge/minecraft.

 

Something like:

 
    // Pass the supplier, don't try to get the unregistered block yet
    public static final RegistryObject<Item> BARLEY_SEEDS = registerSeed("barley_seeds", ModBlocks.BARLEY);

    // Method accepts the supplier
    private static RegistryObject<Item> registerSeed(String pSeed, RegistryObject<Block> pCrop) {
        // Retrieve the block object at registration time
        return ITEMS.register(pSeed, () -> new SeedBlockItem(pCrop.get()));
    }
