I am learning how to create my first mod. I have followed the first page of the following tutorial up to the Building and Testing Your Mod section: https://docs.minecraftforge.net/en/1.20.x/gettingstarted/

The Config.java class that is bundled in the MDK download uses the ResourceLocation.java class in two locations:

    private static boolean validateItemName(final Object obj)
    {
        return obj instanceof final String itemName && ForgeRegistries.ITEMS.containsKey(new ResourceLocation(itemName)); // <-----
    }

	/* ... */

    static void onLoad(final ModConfigEvent event)
    {
      /* ... */
        items = ITEM_STRINGS.get().stream()
                .map(itemName -> ForgeRegistries.ITEMS.getValue(new ResourceLocation(itemName))) // <-----
                .collect(Collectors.toSet());
    }

However, new ResourceLocation is underlined red on my Intellij IDE, with this popup when hovered on:

'ResourceLocation(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)' has private access in 'net.minecraft.resources.ResourceLocation'

With this being RecourceLocation's constructor

    private ResourceLocation(String p_135811_, String p_135812_) {
        assert isValidNamespace(p_135811_);

        assert isValidPath(p_135812_);

        this.namespace = p_135811_;
        this.path = p_135812_;
    }

In addition, this is the error that pops up while running the build task

error: constructor ResourceLocation in class ResourceLocation cannot be applied to given types;
        return obj instanceof final String itemName && ForgeRegistries.ITEMS.containsKey(new ResourceLocation(itemName));
                                                                                         ^
  required: String,String
  found:    String

What steps would I have to follow to follow to fix this?

Use the static methods in ResourceLocation to create an instance.

If you want to access Resource from Minecraft, use:

ResourceLocation.withDefaultNamespace("potato"); or

If you want to access Resource from your mod, use:

ResourceLocation.fromNamespaceAndPath("your_mod_id", "your_key");

Could you be more specific please? How are we supposed to use that on .getValue/.containsKey or generally?
The item names are suddenly minecraft:minecraft: and it crashes because of that ofc.
 

Caused by: net.minecraft.ResourceLocationException: Non [a-z0-9/._-] character in path of location: minecraft:minecraft:iron_ingot

I politely ask for an explanation for which there is no documentation, not that i found and not that i found one in this topic. Here you would rather be asked to see something complete in front of your face instead of having to experiment stupidly with the API and waste time because some change was made.
Thanks in advance.

When a ResourceLocation is written/read as from a string, it is seen as <namespace>:<path>. If the namespace and the colon are left out, then when the string is read into an ResourceLocation the namespace will always default to "minecraft".

apparently not.. More of <namespace>:minecraft:<path>
