minecraft crash

[Cavespider27]

I went through the crash report and found this.

java.lang.NullPointerException: Can't add null-object to the registry, name FirstMod:Firestone.

 

help would be appreciated

We need more than that to go on.

 

The only thing I can tell from that is that you're trying to add null to the registry, maybe you're doing "GameRegistry.registerItem(null,someStringName);" ?

Might your crash be in any way related to this?

 

Except that item has to be lowercase.

For blocks use "tile".

Ok what he said worked and i launched MC but the block is not there. I checked my code and found that i had forgot to register the block so i put

GameRegistry.registerBlock(Firestone);

and it had an error, i checked quick fixes and it wanted to change it to make it

GameRegistry.registerBlock(Firestone, null);

 

this is causing my MC to crash again.

 

Where I told you

 

Ok what he said worked and i launched MC but the block is not there. I checked my code and found that i had forgot to register the block so i put

GameRegistry.registerBlock(Firestone);

and it had an error, i checked quick fixes and it wanted to change it to make it

GameRegistry.registerBlock(Firestone, null);  <-- MAKE THIS NOT NULL

this is causing my MC to crash again.

 

See above

 

And then

 

I have to put something there. I can't just leave it blank, I was wanting to know what to put there

It's a fuckin' string.  What do you want to call the block?  It can be anything (as long as you don't use something that's been used before).  Seriously.  Not.  That.  Hard.

 

?

here is my main.

package jibberish.firstmod.common;

 

import jibberish.firstmod.block.BlockFirestone;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;

import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.SidedProxy;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.event.FMLInitializationEvent;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.LanguageRegistry;

 

@Mod(modid = "FirstMod", name = "First Mod", version = "1.0.0 Alpha")

 

public class FirstMod {

@SidedProxy(clientSide = "jibberish.firstmod.client.ClientProxy", serverSide = "jibberish.firstmod.commpn.CommonProxy")

public static CommonProxy proxy;

 

public static Block Firestone = new BlockFirestone(2000, Material.glass).setUnlocalizedName("firestone");

 

 

public void load(FMLInitializationEvent event){

proxy.registerRenderInformation();

}

 

public FirstMod() {

 

GameRegistry.registerBlock(Firestone, "Firestone");

 

}

}

 

and here is my block class

package jibberish.firstmod.block;

 

import net.minecraft.block.Block;

import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;

import net.minecraft.client.renderer.texture.IIconRegister;

import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;

 

public class BlockFirestone extends Block {

 

private String unlocalizedName;

public Block setBlockName(String Firestone)

{

this.unlocalizedName = Firestone;

return this;

}

public BlockFirestone(int par1, Material par2Material){

super(par2Material);

this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabBlock);

this.setLightLevel(0.9F);

this.setHardness(4);

this.setResistance(5);

}

public void registerIcons(IIconRegister iconRegister) {

blockIcon = iconRegister.registerIcon("FirstMod:Firestone");

}

public Block setUnlocalizedName(String Firestone) {

return null;

}

 

}

 

 

Oh and i understand this might not be very good code. I've been following a 1.6.4 tutorial so ive had to convert some things.

[Cavespider27]

Ohhh ok.. thanks

Also,

 

public BlockFirestone(int par1, Material par2Material){

 

You can drop the "int par1" as you're not using it.  That used to be the block ID, but as block IDs are no longer A Thing, you don't need it.
