If it really is obfuscated, then search for the method which returns

"tile." + classvariable

If you can find the method and it still errors, you don't extend net.minecraft.block.Block.

 

Please post all of your block code, with all imports and such.

Also you should update to 1.7.10, there's no reason to stay in 1.7.2.

The best way to find that method, is hitting CTRL+F, type in "tile." and hit search.

Hmmm.  It seems it should be correct.

 

Do you see any warnings or errors in Eclipse at all, other than the one about the unrecognized method?

 

If you hover over "block" with your mouse in Eclipse, what does it say?

 

Can you include the package and imports from your main class code?

What exactly do you mean by warnings in Eclipse?

 

I mean do any of your classes have a yellow warning or red error icon on them?  Do any lines of code have such indicators to the left of the code?  Is any of your code underlined in red?

Probably dumb question, but are you sure your BlockExampleBlock extends the Block class in net.minecraft.block.Block? Because there are multiple Block classes you can extend and maybe you've imported the wrong one in BlockExampleBlock.java file or whatever file you hold the class in.

Yes it is

net.minecraft.block.Block

I did not manage to find the method that returns: 

"tile. + classvariable"

Here is the code with every thing I have I will post my Item code that I have too, just incase there is something wrong there too, and I am sorry if my code is not perfect and or messy.

 

Main Class

 

package com.somemorefood.friendlyunicorns;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod.EventHandler;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.event.FMLPreInitializationEvent;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;

@Mod(modid = Reference.MODID, version = Reference.VERSION)

public class SomeMoreFood 
{
public static Block exampleBlock;
public static Item grannySmith; 


@EventHandler
public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event)
{
    

	grannySmith = new ItemGrannySmith();
	RegisterHelper.registerItem(grannySmith);
     	
	 exampleBlock = new BlockExampleBlock();
	 RegisterHelper.registerBlock(exampleBlock);
}
}

 

Register Helper

 

package com.somemorefood.friendlyunicorns;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;

public class RegisterHelper 
{

public static void registerBlock(Block block)
{
	GameRegistry.registerBlock(block, Reference.MODID + block.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5));

}

public static void registerItem(Item item)
{
	GameRegistry.registerItem(item, Reference.MODID + item.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5));
}


}	

 

My Item Class (Granny Smith Apple, Not done yet, but I did by the way add it in successfully)

package com.somemorefood.friendlyunicorns;

import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemFood;

public class ItemGrannySmith extends ItemFood {

	public ItemGrannySmith ()
	{
	super(4, 0.5F, false);
	setUnlocalizedName ("grannySmith");
	setTextureName (Reference.MODID + ":" + getUnlocalizedName().substring(5));
	setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabFood);

}
}

 

Example Bock, there is another problem with this class too, I cannot add the material type (error). I think due to the register block, correct me if I am wrong.

 

package com.somemorefood.friendlyunicorns;

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

public class BlockExampleBlock extends Block {

public BlockExampleBlock() {
	super(Material.rock);

}

}

search for the method in the Block class in net.minecraft.block, does it exist? If not, you probably have done something wrong in setting up forge
