Posted February 7, 201510 yr I feel noobish asking this question, but I can't figure out how to create a block and render it correctly in 1.8. I tried searching for block creation tutorials, but all I could find is Wuppy29's website, but I can't open his website for some reason. So I tried to copy minecraft's code, but I still cant figure it out. Could someone eighther point me to another tutorial or give me an over view of what I need to do. Also I heard that creating blocks now requires .json files, I just wanted to note that I have no experience with them. Don't be afraid to ask question when modding, there are no stupid question! Unless you don't know java then all your questions are stupid!
February 7, 201510 yr I'm totally new as well, and was having similar problems... yesterday? Yesterday, I think. Anyways, I've been building my mod off of this, and it's worked out great! http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php/topic,27474.msg140662.html#msg140662
February 8, 201510 yr Author No matter what i try the block renders with a null texture and i cant figure out why. Don't be afraid to ask question when modding, there are no stupid question! Unless you don't know java then all your questions are stupid!
February 8, 201510 yr Author Finally I solved it, i don't know if it was intentional but the resource location thing does not accept underscores in the file path, but after a TON of refactoring, it works!

February 8, 201510 yr It's good that you solved it. JSON files are just text files with data in them. You can open them up in notepad to see the data or use a viewer like https://json-csv.com
