For some reason, my texture isn't loading. This is my main FirstMod.java code.

 

package com.andytphan.firstmod;

import com.andytphan.firstmod.ItemKey;

import net.minecraft.client.Minecraft;
import net.minecraft.client.renderer.entity.RenderItem;
import net.minecraft.client.resources.model.ModelResourceLocation;
import net.minecraft.enchantment.Enchantment;
import net.minecraft.init.Blocks;
import net.minecraft.init.Items;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod.EventHandler;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLInitializationEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLPreInitializationEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLPostInitializationEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.relauncher.Side;

@Mod(modid = FirstMod.MODID, version = FirstMod.VERSION)
public class FirstMod
{
    public static final String MODID = "firstmod";
    public static final String VERSION = "1.0";
    
    public static Item key;
    
    @EventHandler
    public void preInit (FMLPreInitializationEvent event)
    {
    	key = new ItemKey();
    	GameRegistry.registerItem(key, "key");
    }
    
    @EventHandler
    public void init(FMLInitializationEvent event)
    {
    	GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(Items.apple),
    			"XXX",
    			"XXX",
    			"XXX",
    			'X', Blocks.leaves
    	);
    	ItemStack enchantedStoneSword = new ItemStack(Items.stone_sword);
    	enchantedStoneSword.addEnchantment(Enchantment.sharpness, 5);
    	enchantedStoneSword.addEnchantment(Enchantment.knockback, 5);
    	
    	GameRegistry.addShapelessRecipe(enchantedStoneSword, Items.stone_sword, Items.flint, Items.gunpowder);
    }
    
    @EventHandler
    public void postInit(FMLPostInitializationEvent event) {
    	if(event.getSide() == Side.CLIENT) {
    		RenderItem renderItem = Minecraft.getMinecraft().getRenderItem();
    		renderItem.getItemModelMesher().register(key, 0, new ModelResourceLocation(MODID + ":" + "key", "inventory"));
    	}
    }
}

 

This is my Key item code.

package com.andytphan.firstmod;

import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;

public class ItemKey extends Item {
public ItemKey() {
	GameRegistry.registerItem(this, "key");
	setUnlocalizedName(FirstMod.MODID + "_" + "key");
	setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabMisc);
}

}

 

Finally, this is my json file code.

 

{
"parent": "builtin/generated",
"textures": {
	"layer0": "firstmod/items:key"
},
"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]
	}
}
}

You've mixed up the slash and the colon in your model's texture path. The colon separates the resource domain (your mod ID) from the resource path (the path of the texture relative to assets/<modid>/textures), the slash separates directories within the resource path (like in regular file paths). Use

"firstmod:items/key"

instead of

"firstmod/items:key"

.

 

You should use the sided proxy system (i.e. the

@SidedProxy

annotation) to register your models rather than checking for the client side in your

@Mod

class.

 

You should also use Forge's

ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation

/

ModelLoader.setCustomMeshDefinition

in preInit instead of Minecraft's

ItemModelMesher#register

overloads in init/postInit.

Do not do that ItemModelMesher stuff that you do in postInit (if you were to use that it'd have to be in init).

Use ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation in preInit. The rendering registration also needs to be in your ClientProxy or you will crash servers with your mod.

What is the full path to the json file?

 

The path to the json file is pathtomodding/src/main/resources/assests/firstmod/models/items/key.json.

Modders who use crafting tables to make enchanted items have often run into trouble, so don't be surprised if your enchantedStoneSword recipe rinses away your enchantments. Be sure to test it to find out.
