I've been following the generic tutorial on the wiki but have run into issues when adding images to my mods. I had it working at one point but after I added another item it stopped working. Ive tried pretty much everything I could think of. but with no luck. Heres a image of the file tree and code. Please ask if you need anything else. 

Your folder name should be the same as your modid, which looks like it is "extratools".  Java is case sensitive.

Do you mean on this line setTextureName("extratools:EnderShard");

I should change it to setTextureName("ExtraTools:EnderShard"); ?

Ive already tried that and it didnt help

In your eclipse workspace, it should be (in the folder)

src -> main -> resources -> assets -> [modid] -> textures -> items -> [itemName].png

It your case it should be:

src -> main -> resources -> assets -> extratools -> textures -> items -> EnderShard.png

Try changing the the package

 

assets.extratools.textures.items

 

Also, you might want to make certain that your modid is "extratools"

 

[coolboy actually beat me to this]

 

It's a really good idea to great a static class that references your mod id, mod name, and version number

 

package com.mmg.candymod.lib;

public class Strings {

    public static final String MODID = "extratools";
    public static final String MODNAME = "Extra Tools";
    public static final String VERSION = "0.1";	

}

 

That way, when you have to reference any of that information, it will always be correct.

 

Then your texture would be

setTextureName(Strings.MODID + ":EnderShard");

 

This is assuming that the EnderShard texture is in your assets.extratools.textures.items folder is named "EnderShard.png"

Thanks got it working, right now I am learning as I go it was due to caps in the file name and modid
