[SOLVED][Mac][1.7.2/1.7.10] Jar Errors: Assets and Crashing?

[LazerBeans]

Running Mac OS X 10.9.4

(Take it easy, I'm a beginner!)

 

When I exported my mod, I got the jar file as expected. I pasted it into my game, and both the names and textures were missing! I unarchived the .jar and opened up the folder, only to find out that for some reason none of the assets exported. I pasted the correct assets and the folder hierarchies, then I renamed the folder to be a .jar (just as a test), and Minecraft Forge ran it perfectly (regardless of 1.7.2 or 1.7.10), the textures working. I then used Terminal to turn the .jar folder into a compressed jar, but when I did this, it crashed Minecraft each and every time I tried, with naming conventions or otherwise.

 

Can anybody explain why the assets didn't register in the first place, or why the compressed jar isn't working?

To export my jar file from my Forge environment: ./gradlew build

To export my jar file from folder to .jar:

 jar cf OresPlus-1.7.2-1.0 OresPlus-1.0.jar 

 

Perhaps the name change was what tripped up?

 

 

 

My project setup (In the Jar):

|assets

|emeraldsplus

  |lang

  -en_US.lang

  |textures

  |blocks

  |items

    -flimsyEmeraldAxe.png

    -flimsyEmeraldHoe.png

    -flimsyEmeraldPickaxe.png

    -flimsyEmeraldShovel.png

    -flimsyEmeraldSword.png

    -sturdyEmerald.png

    -sturdyEmeraldAxe.png

    -sturdyEmeraldHoe.png

    -sturdyEmeraldPickaxe.png

    -sturdyEmeraldShovel.png

    -sturdyEmeraldSword.png

|com

|LazerBeans

  |EmeraldsPlus

  |EmeraldsPlus.class

  |*.class files for each of the above textured items*

-mcmod.info

|META-INF

  -MANIFEST.MF

 

 

My Forge environment is the same regarding the assets.

The reason I used a command was to repack the jar, although I found a way to edit the jar without unarchiving/recompressing (but it stills crashes).

 

I see. I didn't have the assets in the src/main/resources folder, but in the src/main/java...

 

When I test run Minecraft through eclipse, it had always loaded fine.

 

I just rebuilt the jar and pasted it in my mods folder. The crash report is different, although it still crashes. The previous time it would crash during preinitialization. This time, it crashed during initialization, providing me with this:

The jar was in build/libs. I pasted into my ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/mods folder. There are multiple mods because I created a test mod for getting to know Eclipse and the project setup. These assets actually DID work, as they were in the correct folder(s). And what do you mean by loaded multiple times? I

[LazerBeans]

Okay, there were some folders in my mods folder (not sure why, they were supposed to be moved out). The game no longer crashes, but now the latest jar doesn't have ANY assets loaded.

 

All of the assets are in src/main/resources...

[LazerBeans]

Here it is:

[LazerBeans]

When I was reading tutorials, I was instructed to put the assets in src/main/java. Not a good idea?

[LazerBeans]

I don't know how, but the wrong assets were in the resources. I rebuilt the jar and installed, runs perfectly. Thanks!
