Hello everyone today I bring an issue to the forums about an error I cannot seem to fix on my mod... Here is the code with the error

package com.ioppy.industrialrevolution.init;

import net.minecraft.item.Item;

public class IndustrialRevolutionItems {

public static Item pocket_watch;

public static void register() {
	pocket_watch = new Item().setUnlocalizedName(pocket_watch);
}

}

 

It is the line "pocket_watch = new Item().setUnlocalizedName(pocket_watch);" I keep getting the error: "The method setUnlocalizedName(String) in the type Item is not applicable for the arguments (Item)" As you can probably tell I am brand new to mod creation and I was hoping someone could help me resolve this so that I can learn from it....

 

Note: if you need to see any other part of my mod please let me know!

 

Regards,

 

 

~Ops

Item#setUnlocalizedName

takes a

String

argument, but you're trying to pass it the value of the

pocket_watch

field (an

Item

). String literals are delimited by double quotes (

"

).

 

This is an extremely basic concept of Java. You can't write a mod until you understand Java properly.

Thanks Choonster this has fixed my problem... Also I tried learning java in several different places but none seem seem to stick recommend any places?

I learned Java at university, so I don't really know of any good tutorials for it from personal experience. You could try

or Vswe's Summer Courses (covers Java and Forge).
