I am trying too add a crafting recipe for a pickaxe, and to start I tried to stack the ingots but I keep getting this error: genericItem cannot be resolved or is not a field. Here is the class of the main class called Generic.java:

 

package tutorial.generic;

 

// This Import list will grow longer with each additional tutorial.

// It's not pruned between full class postings, unlike other tutorial code.

import net.minecraft.block.Block;

import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;

import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;

import net.minecraft.item.EnumToolMaterial;

import net.minecraft.item.Item;

import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;

@Mod(modid="generic", name="Generic", version="0.0.0")

@NetworkMod(clientSideRequired=true, serverSideRequired=false)

public class Generic

{

        // See Basic items tutorial for Generic Ingot

 

public EnumToolMaterial generic = EnumHelper.addToolMaterial("Generic", 3, 2000, 13.0F, 3.0F, 22);

public final Item genericSword = new GenericSword(5002, generic).setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabCombat).setUnlocalizedName("genericSword");

public final Item genericPick = new GenericPick(5003, generic).setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabTools).setUnlocalizedName("genericPick");

 

public static Item genericIngot;

    public static Block genericDirt;

    public static Block genericOre;

       

        @Instance(value="generic")

        public static Generic instance;

       

        @SidedProxy(clientSide="tutorial.generic.client.ClientProxy",

                        serverSide="tutorial.generic.CommonProxy")

        public static CommonProxy proxy;

       

        @EventHandler

        public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event)

        {

       

        genericIngot = new GenericItem(201).setMaxStackSize(64)

                    .setUnlocalizedName("genericIngot");

                 

genericDirt = new GenericBlock(500, Material.ground)

                .setHardness(0.5F).setStepSound(Block.soundGravelFootstep)

                .setUnlocalizedName("genericDirt").setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabBlock);

genericOre = new GenericOre(501, Material.rock);

        }

       

        @EventHandler

        public void load(FMLInitializationEvent event)

        {

               

        ItemStack genricIngot = new ItemStack(Item.genericItem, 1);

        // See Basic items tutorial for Generic Ingot

                LanguageRegistry.addName(genericIngot, "Generic Ingot");

                LanguageRegistry.addName(genericOre, "Generic Ore");

                MinecraftForge.setBlockHarvestLevel(genericOre, "pickaxe", 3);

                GameRegistry.registerBlock(genericOre, "genericOre");

                GameRegistry.registerItem(genericSword, "genericSword");

                LanguageRegistry.addName(genericSword, "GenericSword");

                GameRegistry.registerItem(genericPick, "genericPick");

                LanguageRegistry.addName(genericPick, "GenericPick");

               

             

               

                             

                // End Basic Blocks

               

                proxy.registerRenderers();

        }

       

        @EventHandler

        public void postInit(FMLPostInitializationEvent event)

        {

                // Stub Method

        }

}

 

Here is the genericItem class:

 

package tutorial.generic;

 

import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.Side;

import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.SideOnly;

import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;

import net.minecraft.client.renderer.texture.IconRegister;

import net.minecraft.item.Item;

 

public class GenericItem extends Item {

 

        public GenericItem(int id) {

                super(id); 

                // Constructor Configuration

                maxStackSize = 64;

                setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabMisc);

                setUnlocalizedName("genericItem");

        }

 

        public void registerIcons(IconRegister iconRegister)

        {

          itemIcon = iconRegister.registerIcon("genericmod:genericIngot");

        }

 

 

}

 

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

 

 

Your genericItem is not a public final variable of the Item class. You need to give the ItemStack constructor a specific instance of your class or an id so in this code:

 

 

@EventHandler
        public void load(FMLInitializationEvent event) 
        {
                
           ItemStack genricIngot = new ItemStack(Item.genericItem, 1);

 

 

change it to

 

ItemStack genricIngot = new ItemStack(this.genericIngot, 1);

 

 

Hope this helps. =)

It did thanks!
