So I started modding for Minecraft Forge 1.7.2.

 

    There are serious problems with my items (single item currently). Also, I might be doing mistakes about folder placements.

 

    Doesn't matter whatever I do, my Item's name is always item.*myitemname*.name and the texture is magenta-black.

 

My main class:

 

 

 

package me.mission712.lotsafood.main;

 

import me.mission712.lotsafood.foodstuff.ItemAppleCream;

import net.minecraft.item.Item;

import net.minecraft.item.ItemFood;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod.EventHandler;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.event.FMLInitializationEvent;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.LanguageRegistry;

 

@Mod(modid = MainClass.MODID, name = "LotsaFood", version = MainClass.VERSION)

public class MainClass

{

//Mod ID and stuff

    public static final String MODID = "lotsafood";

    public static final String VERSION = "0.1a";

   

    // The Ice-Creams *grrrrrrrrr*

    public static Item appleCream = ((ItemFood) new ItemAppleCream(3, 0.4F, false).setUnlocalizedName("appleCream")).setAlwaysEdible();

   

   

    @EventHandler

    public void init(FMLInitializationEvent event)

    {   

    //Registering the ice creams to the game (credit card or cash? )

    GameRegistry.registerItem(appleCream, "appleCream");

    LanguageRegistry.addName(appleCream, "Apple Ice Cream");

    }

}

 

 

 

And this is my item's java file:

 

 

 

package me.mission712.lotsafood.foodstuff;

 

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

import net.minecraft.item.ItemFood;

 

public class ItemAppleCream extends ItemFood{

 

public ItemAppleCream(int j, float i, boolean m) {

super(j, i, m);

 

}

 

@Override

public void registerIcons(IIconRegister par1IconRegister)

    {

        this.itemIcon = par1IconRegister.registerIcon("lotsafood:appleicecream");

    }

 

 

}

 

 

 

My class file paths:

 

forge/src/main/java/me/mission712/lotsafood/main/MainClass.java

forge/src/main/java/me/mission712/lotsafood/foodstuff/ItemAppleCream.java

 

Texture path:

 

forge/src/main/resources/assets/lotsafood/textures/items/appleCream.png (16x16)

appleCream != appleicecream

fixed

this.itemIcon = par1IconRegister.registerIcon("lotsafood:appleicecream");

 

to

this.itemIcon = par1IconRegister.registerIcon("lotsafood:appleCream");

 

Still doesn't work, what should i do?

I can see my item in Eclipse.

 

What should I replace LanguageRegistry with for in-game name?

Okay, I made the language file you said and the name displays as Apple Ice Cream now!

 

But still, the texture displays as the magenta-black glitch texture.

 

By the way, here is what I see in Eclipse:

 

 

What should I do?

 

Best regards,

EDIT: I get this message at the begginning of the "Run Client" session.

When you start your client from within eclipse, the console will tell you where its trying to find your textures, just use that to adjust as necessary.

WOOHOO! Somehow after multiple times of running Minecraft the texture actually showed up!

 

Thank you for your great support against me.
