Dude.

Learn basic Java before coming to mod.

 

You don't put another method inside a method, to use the onItemRightClick you need to create your own Item class.

[Looke81]

can you elaborate a bit more on how i would do that or if you could link a tutorial that would be awesome!

 

[Jwosty]

Seriously, do your research. It's not that hard.

[Looke81]

I applaud for the cool link but seriously i wanted to know how you make a class for an item instead of doing what i was doing (which works)

[Jwosty]

Did you even bother to look at any of the google results? *sigh* if I really must... http://www.minecraftforge.net/wiki/Basic_Items

 

That's how you make an item. The tutorial shows you how to create an item class and use it from your code. And BTW, your code will not work. onItemRightClick needs to go inside your custom item class, _not_ your main mod class. In there, it won't do anything.

 

Also, protip: make sure you use @Override on methods where applicable (look it up).

[Jwosty]

Ah, didn't realize that, sorry. I think it's time someone should do it anyway... I think I will. I'll tell you when it's updated.

[Looke81]

thnx becuse all the item tutorials i have found put all the code for the item in the main mod file.

[Jwosty]

Uhh... what tutorials are you following? That shouldn't work at all.

[Looke81]

lol it works for me this tutorial:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VzP6AohgXQ
