[JakeT24]

My sword texture isn't showing, all it is is a giant purple and black checkered block going through me(ow! )!

 

SteelWeaponsMod.java <<< This is my main mod file.

    	SteelSword.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabCombat);
    	SteelSword.setMaxStackSize(1);
    	SteelOre = new SteelOre(Material.iron).setUnlocalizedName("SteelOre");
        SteelOre.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabBlock);
    	GameRegistry.registerItem(SteelSword, SteelSword.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5));
    	GameRegistry.registerBlock(SteelOre, SteelOre.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5));
    }
@EventHandler
    public void init(FMLInitializationEvent event){
	Minecraft.getMinecraft().getRenderItem().getItemModelMesher().register(SteelSword, 8000, new ModelResourceLocation("swm:item_SteelSword", "inventory"));
}
    @EventHandler
public void postInit(FMLPostInitializationEvent event){
    	
    }

}

 

SteelSword.json <<< This is my rendering .json file I have in assets/swm/models/items along with my SteelSword.png!

Oh. and if you could tell me how to set it's tooltip that would be kool. And before you criticize me on how I'm not trying hard enough iv'e spent 8 hours of my day sitting hear with my laptop plugged into my TV trying to figure out Forge 1.8 and yes I did look for tutorials. Thats mostly how I got this far!

Look at the addInformation method in the Item class for tooltips. If you don't know how to use it, see how vanilla items with tooltips implement it.

[JakeT24]

Cool, but can you tell me how to set my texture cause its not working

[GiMoe]

you need to reference a variable

How does:

SteelSword = (ItemSword) new SteelSword(SteelA).setUnlocalizedName("SteelSword");

not give you an error?

 

you need something like:

SteelSword mySword = (ItemSword) new SteelSword(SteelA).setUnlocalizedName("SteelSword")

 

and to add texture to your item you need something like this:

mySword.setTextureName(modid + ":" + name_of_your_file);

 

make sure you place your png file into the correct folder (assets/swm/textures/items)

That I have tried, it only works 1.7.10 and down

[md678685]

See Eternaldoom's post on updating to 1.8(http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php/topic,24263.0.html). The section on Blocks and Items is especially helpful.

[JakeT24]

Can I have some help understanding this?

[md678685]

Minecraft.getMinecraft().getRenderItem().getItemModelMesher().register(SteelSword, 8000, new ModelResourceLocation("swm:item_SteelSword", "inventory"));

should be changed to

Minecraft.getMinecraft().getRenderItem().getItemModelMesher().register(SteelSword, 0, new ModelResourceLocation("swm:SteelSword", "inventory"));

 

Also, never capitalize the first letter of variables. Always capitalize the first letter of classes, though.

Hey Thanks! This made my texture get flat and look like the normal non-textured item, which I was worried about. So now I have this problem, it still isn't showing the texture. But it is flat like it should be, just purple and black.
