Block Textures Not Showing Up

[ripbandit]

I've been trying to get custom block textures to work and can't figure it out.

 

Code:

package com.loomhost.ripbandit.randomblocks;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;
import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;
import net.minecraft.init.Blocks;
import net.minecraft.init.Items;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
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;

@Mod(modid = RandomBlocks.MODID, version = RandomBlocks.VERSION)
public class RandomBlocks
{
    public static final String MODID = "RandomBlocks";
    public static final String VERSION = "1.0";
    public static Block chainFence;
    public static CreativeTabs RandomBlocks = new CreativeTabs("RandomBlocks")
    {
    public Item getTabIconItem()
    {
    return Items.bed;
    }
    };
    
    @EventHandler
    public void init(FMLInitializationEvent event)
    {
	//Init message
        System.out.println("Random Blocks V 0.1 is reporting for duty!");
        
        
        //Blocks
        
        //ChainFence
        this.chainFence = new NormalBlock() .setHardness(0.5F) .setResistance(0F) .setBlockName("chainFence") .setCreativeTab(RandomBlocks) .setBlockTextureName("RandomBlocks:chainFence");
        GameRegistry.registerBlock(this.chainFence, this.chainFence.getUnlocalizedName() .substring(5));
        
    }
}

 

Error log:

Any help is appreciated!

Your file is not there. Java is looking for the file and failing to find it. Where is your file currently?

[ripbandit]

Block is in \src\main\java\assets\RandomBlocks\textures\blocks. Name is chainFence.png.

[Kwibble]

Notice how your path is RandomBlocks, but its looking for a folder randomblocks. You MUST have your ModID and associated assets folder lowercase.

[ripbandit]

Changed modID and  folder to lowercase still get the error.

[Kwibble]

Oh wait. Why are your assets not in the resources folder?

 

Try this path:

\src\main\resources\assets\randomblocks\textures\blocks

[ripbandit]

Still not working. Language file loads but nothing else does.

[ripbandit]

It's exactly like that.

[cad97]

Can you give us the file hierarchy and the registration class one more time? Just to make sure we know what we are dealing with.

[ripbandit]

Files are at \src\main\resources\assets\randomblocks.

 

Here is the RandomBlocks class:

package com.loomhost.ripbandit.randomblocks;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;
import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;
import net.minecraft.init.Blocks;
import net.minecraft.init.Items;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
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;

@Mod(modid = RandomBlocks.MODID, version = RandomBlocks.VERSION)
public class RandomBlocks
{
    public static final String MODID = "randomblocks";
    public static final String VERSION = "1.0";
    public static Block chainFence;
    public static CreativeTabs RandomBlocks = new CreativeTabs("RandomBlocks")
    {
    public Item getTabIconItem()
    {
    return Items.bed;
    }
    };
    
    @EventHandler
    public void init(FMLInitializationEvent event)
    {
	//Init message
        System.out.println("Random Blocks V 0.1 is reporting for duty!");
        
        
        //Blocks
        
        //ChainFence
        this.chainFence = new NormalBlock() .setHardness(0.5F) .setResistance(0F) .setBlockName("chainFence") .setCreativeTab(RandomBlocks) .setBlockTextureName("randomblocks:chainFence");
        GameRegistry.registerBlock(this.chainFence, this.chainFence.getUnlocalizedName() .substring(5));
        
    }
}

And the NormalBlock class:

package com.loomhost.ripbandit.randomblocks;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;

public class NormalBlock extends Block {
public NormalBlock(){
super(Material.ground);
}
}

What IDE are you using? you need to make sure the resources folder is marked as "Sources" or it wont be loaded when you run your project.

[Kwibble]

Since when was there a method called setBlockTextureNam()??

 

If I'm just old fashioned forge, then ignore this. But I ha have the sneaking suspicion that it could be your problem...

[cad97]

Assuming you are set up the proper way (unlike me I apparently like making it hard on myself) your block png should be at this location:

~devforgeenvironment~\src\main\resources\assets\%modid%\textures\blocks\yourblock.png

In Eclipse, (assuming you are using Eclipse,) you should see:

~projectfolder~
|  src/main/java
|  |  (all your mod .java packages)
|
|  src/main/resources
|  |  assets.modid.textures.blocks
|  |  |  (any block textures)
|  |
|  |  assets.modid.textures.items
|  |  |  (any item textures)
|  |
|  |  assets.modid.lang
|  |  |  (your lang file(s))
|  |
|  |  mcmod.info
|
|  JRE System Library
|  |  (whole bunch of things)
|
|  Referenced Libraries
|  |  (whole bunch of things)
|
|  (whole bunch of other Forge things)

 

I hope that's readable and can help

I've been using setBlockTextureName() forever. (I've only used Forge 1.7.4.)  I've never seen setBlockTextureNam() though, but I don't see that in his code either.  I asssume yours was just a careless typo then

[dand0]

Maybe you should use register blocks in method with argument "FMLPreInitializationEvent" not in "FMLInitializationEvent"?

[ripbandit]

Fixed by moving to FMLPreInitializationEvent and making packages instead of folders.
