[1.8] [SOLVED] Custom Creative Tab

[DTaylorMedia]

Hi. I'm having trouble with my mod's creative tab.

 

My mod's creative tab does work, but it only works if I replace a tab. The code below is in my main mod file. I have set it to 0, so it replaces the "Building Blocks" tab. It works with numbers 0 to 11 (11 being the inventory), but if I set it to 12, the game crashes before the mojang screen comes up

public static final CrystalTab tabCrystal = new CrystalTab(0, "tabCrystal");

 

Am I doing something wrong?

 

Here's the class file for my mod's tab.

package com.testing.crystals;

import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;

public class CrystalTab extends CreativeTabs {

public CrystalTab(int index, String label) {
	super(index, label);
	this.setBackgroundImageName("crystal.png");
}

@Override
public Item getTabIconItem() {
	return CrystalItems.crystal_red;
}

}

Wrong constructor m8.

 

public CrystalTab(String label) {
	super(label);
	this.setBackgroundImageName("crystal.png");
}

Just gave it a try, "super(label);" has a red underline. It says "The constructor CreativeTabs(String) is undefined".

Not. Possible.

 

public CreativeTabs(String label)
    {
        this(getNextID(), label);
    }

    public CreativeTabs(int index, String label)
    {
        if (index >= creativeTabArray.length)
        {
            CreativeTabs[] tmp = new CreativeTabs[index + 1];
            for (int x = 0; x < creativeTabArray.length; x++)
            {
                tmp[x] = creativeTabArray[x];
            }
            creativeTabArray = tmp;
        }
        this.tabIndex = index;
        this.tabLabel = label;
        creativeTabArray[index] = this;
    }

 

1st one is used to add next CT, 2nd allows you to override tab with index.

 

public class MyTab extends CreativeTabs
{
public MyTab(String label)
{
	super(label);
}

...
}

Can't seem to get it to work. So I setup a new workspace and moved my mod to it. Managed to get it working. Don't think I set the workspace up correctly or something.
