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?

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

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

Changed modID and  folder to lowercase still get the error.

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

 

Try this path:

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

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

It's exactly like that.

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.

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.

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...

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

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

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