I was looking through the Mod class (with forge 4.0.0.200), the one that makes the @Mod annotation, an I saw the @Block and @Item annotation. Do i do that to make my block class, or do I still have to do

public class derpBlock extends Block

, and the same thing with my item class instead of

public class derpItem extends Item

i dont think they are properly implemented, i used the old method and it worked fine

Ya, those two are not finished yet, do things as you would normally.
