People claim forge is an API but I really don't thinks so. All it does is manage the conflicting parts of minecraft to really do anything you must reach into the minecraft source. I propose that we make an actual API that encapsulates the minecraft source code, much like bukkit. The difference in my mind between forge and bukkit is that with forge the majority of the burden is on the bukkit team while with forge the majority of the burden is on the modders. I absolutely adore forge, but one of the problems is incompatibility between mods and minecraft versions. with bukkit there are three layers: NMS, craftbukkit and bukkit with craftbukkit implementing bukkit. I propose that we take a similar approach and create a real API that modders can use without touching minecraft. There are 100s of dead mods out there and 100s of dead plugins, funny thing is, most of the plugins still function. I would be willing to help with this new API if implemented.

 

Long Live Forge!

On the other hand, when Minecraft updates, Bukkit takes a year and a half to update all their stuff so that mods are functional with the new version....

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable.  If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME.  Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

 

Exception: If you do not understand Java, I WILL NOT HELP YOU and your thread will get locked.

 

DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.

Lets first off start by saying, that your definition of 'API' is wrong, or, more specifically narrow.

Bukkit is a Abstraction Layer

Forge is Compatibility Layer {Amungst other things}

Forge and Bukkit are both APIs.

Why re-implement something that already exists? If you want a bukkit plugin, go use bukkit...

Forge and bukkit have two completely different design philosophies. And, because of that, 1) they can live together {see: MCPC} and 2) You can do things in one that you cannot do in another.

Yes, we could start writing a abstraction layer like you want, but we're not going to.

Bukkit exists, and the next major system like that should come out is the official one, throwing our hat into that is a futile effort and will just fracture the community more.

As for dead mods vs dead plugins... there is nothing wrong with dead mods. Mods die, people move on, typically better mods are produced. And hell if you REALLY want to play a older mod you still can. There is nothing stopping you from loading up a old version of MC and going to town.

I do Forge for free, however the servers to run it arn't free, so anything is appreciated.

    • just rewatched the tutorial and my code is exactly the same as kaupenjoe's.  the item is added into the game but like i said to start it doesnt have a texture or a proper name for whatever reason.
    • yes the name is en_us.json and it is in resources -> assests -> testmod -> lang folders.  i have checked my code and am pretty confident that the code itself is correct.  i even tried loading the project in eclipse and it has the same problems, I think i will just rewatch the whole tutorial and will give an update on the situation.
    • same error, I also tried removing Valkyrian skies as well because I noticed it coming up a lot in the debug log errors
    • Hey man,    i have only been modding Minecraft for a few days but maybe I can help you. First of all make sure to follow every step of Kaupenjoe's tutorial, I found it to been very helpful and complete. The game uses the raw translation key for the item (in your case "item.testmod.alexandrite") if it can't find the correct lang file. Make sure it's name is "en_us.json" and it is saved under "ressources" -> "assets" -> "testmod".
    • whenever I try to get this item to render into the game it appears with the not texture purple and black squares and calls itself by the lang translation file path instead of the name i gave it.   { "item.testmod.alexandrite": "Alexandrite" } this is the lang json file package net.Hurst.testmod.item; import net.Hurst.testmod.TestMod; import net.minecraft.world.item.Item; import net.minecraftforge.eventbus.api.IEventBus; import net.minecraftforge.registries.DeferredRegister; import net.minecraftforge.registries.ForgeRegistries; import net.minecraftforge.registries.RegistryObject; public class ModItems { public static final DeferredRegister<Item> ITEMS = DeferredRegister.create(ForgeRegistries.ITEMS, TestMod.MOD_ID); public static final RegistryObject<Item> ALEXANDRITE = ITEMS.register("alexandrite", () -> new Item(new Item.Properties())); public static void register(IEventBus eventBus){ ITEMS.register(eventBus); } } this is my ModItems.java file package net.Hurst.testmod; import com.mojang.logging.LogUtils; import net.Hurst.testmod.item.ModItems; import net.minecraft.world.item.CreativeModeTabs; import net.minecraftforge.api.distmarker.Dist; import net.minecraftforge.common.MinecraftForge; import net.minecraftforge.event.BuildCreativeModeTabContentsEvent; import net.minecraftforge.event.server.ServerStartingEvent; import net.minecraftforge.eventbus.api.IEventBus; import net.minecraftforge.eventbus.api.SubscribeEvent; import net.minecraftforge.fml.ModLoadingContext; import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod; import net.minecraftforge.fml.config.ModConfig; import net.minecraftforge.fml.event.lifecycle.FMLClientSetupEvent; import net.minecraftforge.fml.event.lifecycle.FMLCommonSetupEvent; import net.minecraftforge.fml.javafmlmod.FMLJavaModLoadingContext; import org.slf4j.Logger; // The value here should match an entry in the META-INF/mods.toml file @Mod(TestMod.MOD_ID) public class TestMod { public static final String MOD_ID = "testmod"; private static final Logger LOGGER = LogUtils.getLogger(); public TestMod() { IEventBus modEventBus = FMLJavaModLoadingContext.get().getModEventBus(); modEventBus.addListener(this::commonSetup); ModItems.register(modEventBus); MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(this); modEventBus.addListener(this::addCreative); ModLoadingContext.get().registerConfig(ModConfig.Type.COMMON, Config.SPEC); } private void commonSetup(final FMLCommonSetupEvent event) { } // Add the example block item to the building blocks tab private void addCreative(BuildCreativeModeTabContentsEvent event) { if(event.getTabKey() == CreativeModeTabs.INGREDIENTS){ event.accept(ModItems.ALEXANDRITE); } } // You can use SubscribeEvent and let the Event Bus discover methods to call @SubscribeEvent public void onServerStarting(ServerStartingEvent event) { } // You can use EventBusSubscriber to automatically register all static methods in the class annotated with @SubscribeEvent @Mod.EventBusSubscriber(modid = MOD_ID, bus = Mod.EventBusSubscriber.Bus.MOD, value = Dist.CLIENT) public static class ClientModEvents { @SubscribeEvent public static void onClientSetup(FMLClientSetupEvent event) { } } } this is my TestMod.java file { "parent": "minecraft:item/generated", "textures": { "layer0": "testmod:item/generated" } } this is my model file for the item. I am using intellij 2025.1.2 with fdk 1.21 and java 21 I would appreciate the help.
