Hi,

 

I have been working on a creative tab for Minecraft. It shows up in the creative inventory, but it has no texture (pink and black squares). I tried:

public Item getTabIconItem() {
	return UltraCraft.steelIngot;
}

And here is the code for SteelIngot:

 

package uc.items;

import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod.EventHandler;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLInitializationEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;
import uc.mainmod.UltraCraft;

public class SteelIngot extends Item {
public SteelIngot() {
	setMaxStackSize(64);
	setCreativeTab(UltraCraft.mechanicalItemsTab);
	setUnlocalizedName("SteelIngot");
}
}

 

 

Here is the .json file for SteelIngot:

{
"parent": "builtin/generated",
"textures": {
"layer0": "UltraCraft:textures/items/SteelIngot"
},
"display": {
"thirdperson": {
"rotation": [ -90, 0, 0 ],
"translation": [ 0, 1, -3 ],
"scale": [ 0.55, 0.55, 0.55 ]
},
"firstperson": {
"rotation": [ 0, -135, 25 ],
"translation": [ 0, 4, 2 ],
"scale": [ 1.7, 1.7, 1.7 ]
}
}
}

I think you also need to register the item renderer. In the init handling method of your client proxy, you need something like this:

 

        RenderItem renderItem = Minecraft.getMinecraft().getRenderItem();

        renderItem.getItemModelMesher().register(yourItem, 0, new ModelResourceLocation("yourmodid:" + yourItem.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5), "inventory"));

 

Assuming my modid is UltraCraft, and my item is called steelIngot, and the unlocalizedName is "SteelIngot", wouldn't the code be:

 

renderItem.getItemModelMesher().register(steelIngot, 0, new ModelResourceLocation("UltraCraft:models/item/" + yourItem.getUnlocalizedName(), "inventory"));

 

My .json is called SteelIngot.json, and it's located in src\main\resources\assets\UltraCraft\models\item.

It is important to always use all lower case for the modid as well as the unlocalized names. I think it has to do with file system compatibility.

 

Also, in your example there is still a "yourItem" that you need to replace with the steel ingot item name.
