[1.8]Error: Model definition not found

[theOriginalByte]

Hey guys, I started having this issue when I update to the latest recommended version of forge mdk for 1.8 (yes I know I need to update to 1.8.9). I could've sworn I have everything done right unless something changed recently. Here is the log:

The JSON files are here: https://github.com/KaminoCoding/CommuMod/tree/master/src/main/resources/assets/commumod/blockstates

And here: https://github.com/KaminoCoding/CommuMod/tree/master/src/main/resources/assets/commumod/models

 

I have no idea whats wrong because as far as i could tell it mimicked the vanilla source version of doing it.

The problem is in your source code.  You need to instantiate your blocks and (in client proxy) mesh your items. I don't see any of that. You can't do everything in blockstates. Null is rarely a good thing in your log file error messages. A mod needs Java too.

 

Also, for example, one blockstates file has "model": "commumod:retawBlock" , but the log shows need for commumod:retaw#level=14. Find out why there's a difference.

I do have code... I don't know what you mean.. ELI5 please?

[ratismal]

    public BlockRetaw(Fluid fluid, Material material) {
        super(ModFluids.retaw, materialRetaw, Reference.MODID + ":" + "retaw");
        setUnlocalizedName("retaw");
        setHardness(1F);
        setQuantaPerBlock(LEVELS);
        setTickRate(20);
    }

You've set the name to "retaw". It looks for retaw.json. That file doesn't exist. It returns an error.

Ahh okay thank you!
