It's been such a long time since I've last modded. There are only a couple 1.7.2 tutorials I could find, but I just can't seem to find out how to use assets correctly.

 

Here's my code:

Test.java

package com.travoos.test;

import net.minecraft.init.Blocks;
import net.minecraft.init.Items;
import net.minecraft.item.*;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;
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.event.FMLPreInitializationEvent;

@Mod(modid = Test.MODID, version = Test.VERSION, name = Test.NAME)
public class Test
{
public static final String NAME = "Test Mod";
    public static final String MODID = "test";
    public static final String VERSION = "1.0";
    
    public static Item testItem;

    @EventHandler
    public void preinit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event)
    {
    	Test.testItem = new TestItem().setUnlocalizedName("testItem");
    }
    
    @EventHandler
    public void init(FMLInitializationEvent event)
    {
    	ItemStack gravelStack = new ItemStack(Blocks.gravel);
    	ItemStack dirtStack = new ItemStack(Blocks.dirt);
    	GameRegistry.registerItem(testItem, "testItem");
    	GameRegistry.addShapelessRecipe(new ItemStack(Blocks.dirt, 23), gravelStack, dirtStack);
    	GameRegistry.addSmelting(Items.diamond, new ItemStack(Test.testItem, 2), 5f);
    }
}

 

TestItem.java

package com.travoos.test;

import net.minecraft.client.renderer.texture.IIconRegister;
import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;

public class TestItem extends Item {

public TestItem() {
	super();
	this.setMaxStackSize(14);
	this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabRedstone);
	this.setTextureName("test:testItem");
}

@Override
public void registerIcons(IIconRegister register)
{
    this.itemIcon = register.registerIcon("test:testItem");
}

}

 

And here's my project layout for the mod project (Probably incorrect):

 

testItem.png is a 16x16 sprite.

en_US.txt is just "item.testItem.name=Test"

 

When I smelt the diamond, the 2 stack of the item comes out, but it crashes when I try to take that item out.

I'd also like to point out that the item doesn't even appear in the creative menu.

 

 

So basically all I'm asking is, how would I do this correctly? What am I doing wrong?

Change en_US.txt to en_US.lang.

 

Also, you need to set the item's unlocalized name.

Change en_US.txt to en_US.lang.

 

The name is working now. Thanks.

 

However, the texture is still broken. Still not sure how to fix that.

 

Also, you need to set the item's unlocalized name.

 

The code is a little bit sloppy but I did. I just set it in the variable in Test.java instead of the declaration in TestItem.java.

Register the item in the FMLPreInit event.

You don't need this:

	@Override
public void registerIcons(IIconRegister register)
{
    this.itemIcon = register.registerIcon("test:testItem");
}

 

If you're using a single texture.

 

Also, use all lower case for your texture file name and your setTextureName string.

Register the item in the FMLPreInit event.

 

And that fixed the rest of my problems! Thanks!
