[1.19] Hide items if another mod isn't loaded

[Blaze98765]

I'm making a mod that adds items that use another mods items to craft. I want these items that require another mod to craft to only show up when that mod is loaded, but can't figure out how to do so. Im new to modding so sorry if this is a stupid question

I've tried using "if (net.minecraftforge.fml.ModList.get().isLoaded("mod_id"))" but using it in the item.java returns "illegal start of expression". Not really sure where to go from here.

I know this will not answer your question, but still...
I think it is not about some particular method, I think it is about architecture. Generally content that uses two mods at the same time are delivered in form of a mod add-on. I think you should consider this.
