1.8 How Do I Add Textures

[Awesomeguy8802]

I am a new modder and I need help with my mod. I have looked all over the internet and I can't find how to make a texture work for my item. I have the texture ready but I have no idea how to make it work in my mod. I have looked at the 1.7.10 tutorials and it tells me to do .setTextureName("Example Item"); but the .setTextureName isn't there. Help would be much obliged. Thank's and have a nice day!

You have to make a json mesh then register the meshing in your FMLIntializationEvent.

Minecraft 1.8 is extremely different from 1.7, at least with blocks and items. The block/item tutorials for 1.7 will not work for 1.8.

The best resource for learning how 1.8 works is the example/tutorial here: https://github.com/TheGreyGhost/MinecraftByExample
