Runs through Eclipse fine, Running through Minecraft not working

[vult83]

Hey everyone,

 

Just getting started. Been following some tutorials. I got my first block textured in game with the labels and everything and it all works great when I compile and run through Eclipse. But when I use the grindlew build method and move my .jar file over the minecraft mod folder, it doesn't seem to work. The textures and the localized names aren't showing up. Anyone have any ideas what is going on?

 

Thanks!

You need to tell us which version you're using. It may also help to post a log file (not console output), because the log may show warnings not printed to the console. In fact, if you haven't already done so, read the client log in case it has something you can work from on your own steam.

Open your jar folder with winrar or 7zip. Check if there is a "assets" folder.

I now recall a specific gotcha:

 

In Eclipse, assets are accessed via the OS. Windoze is case-insensitive, so it will forgive case mismatches. In a Minecraft install, assets are accessed from within a jar file. Domains and possibly file names are case-sensitive. This is where mixed-case mismatches start to cause problems.

 

I think that vanilla Minecraft also changes some strings to lower-case, so at least Mod names and domain names should be all lower-case everywhere. I'm not sure about folder- and file-names, but to be safe, it is best to keep them lower-case also.

 

If I hit the nail on the head, please click the Thank-You!

How would I go about getting a copy of the log file from the minecraft client? I can see what's printed in the console of Eclipse when I run it from there, but not sure how i get it for minecraft itself.

Logs are saved in {MinecraftDirectory}\logs. {MinecraftDirectory} is the directory you've set as the value of

minecraft.runDir

in your build.gradle script, usually eclipse or run.

 

fml-client-latest.log is the latest client log.

In my rusty old Win-XP system, my Minecraft logs are in:

C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\.minecraft\logs

 

Did you check for mismatched capitalization? Try all lower-case.
