Hi.

 

I'm new to the minecraft modding stuff. I did set up my IntelliJ IDEA and all runs perfect except because when I add a new item just for testing, the game can't locate the model/textures. I think this is something wrong with IntelliJ build output but I can't figure out how to solve the problem.

 

This is my project structure:

 

And here's my actual code:

 

Neitherlands.java

package neitherlands;

import neitherlands.items.FallenStar;
import net.minecraft.client.Minecraft;
import net.minecraft.client.renderer.block.model.ModelResourceLocation;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraftforge.client.model.ModelLoader;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.FMLLog;
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.registry.GameRegistry;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.Level;

@Mod(modid = Neitherlands.MODID, version = Neitherlands.VERSION, name = Neitherlands.NAME)
public class Neitherlands {
    public static final String MODID = "neitherlands";
    public static final String NAME = "Neitherlands";
    public static final String VERSION = "1.0";

    public static Item fallenStar;

    @EventHandler
    public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event)
    {
        fallenStar = new FallenStar();

        // Registering items
        GameRegistry.register(fallenStar);

        debug("hello world");
    }

    @EventHandler
    public void init(FMLInitializationEvent event) {
        // Setting the texture model
        ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation(fallenStar, 0,
                new ModelResourceLocation(Neitherlands.MODID + ":" + "fallenStar", "inventory"));
    }

    public void debug(String msg) {
        FMLLog.log(Level.INFO, msg);
    }
}

 

FallenStar.java

package neitherlands.items;

import neitherlands.Neitherlands;
import net.minecraft.client.renderer.block.model.ModelResourceLocation;
import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraft.util.ResourceLocation;
import net.minecraftforge.client.model.ModelLoader;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;

public class FallenStar extends Item {
    private final String name = "fallenStar";

    public FallenStar() {
        setRegistryName(Neitherlands.MODID, name);
        setUnlocalizedName(Neitherlands.MODID + "_" + name);
        setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabMisc);

        setMaxStackSize(16);
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }
}

 

And of course, here's the stacktrace:

Thanks for any help.

 

EDIT: Installing eclipse. Let's see if it works with it.

 

EDIT 2: Apparently it was an error while creating the folders. I had a unique folder named "assets.neitherlands.models.item" instead of several folders like "assets", "neitherlands", "models", and "item". That's why it can't find the assets... Thank you all.

What diesieben07 said is correct, but I suspect it may not be the cause of this particular error.

 

Forge improved the error reporting for item model loading in 1.9-12.16.0.1837-1.9 (this commit), update to the latest version of Forge and post the new error.

ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation must be called in preInit. Also move the call to your ClientProxy or you will crash servers.

 

As I said, I am new to this stuff. I saw a bunch of tutorials but they are all old. I moved the ModelLoader call to the preInit method, but I don't know what's that ClientProxy. Going to do a little research.

I did update, but I updated to 1.9-12.16.0.1858-1.9, which is the latest now. The stacktrace remains the same:

Also I noticed that the game seems to doesn't even find the mcmod.info (I just edited the default mcmod.info file)

 

Also, is there any way to get info about mod developing in version 1.9? All the tutorials I saw are very old and seems to be a lot of changes since 1.8 or so.

The new stacktrace confirmed that it's caused by not being able to find the model file rather than being caused by something like a syntax error within it.

 

However, I'm not too sure why it's not loading any of your assets. You could try exiting IDEA, deleting your project by running

gradlew cleanIdea

from the command line and then re-importing build.gradle into IDEA; though I can't guarantee that this will fix anything.

 

You may not always be able to find tutorials for the latest version of Minecraft since they're just written by random members of the community. 1.9 is still quite new, so it may take a while for new tutorials to be made and old ones to be updated.

 

A lot of core concepts have remained the same across many versions of Minecraft, so even older tutorials may still partially work. 1.8 introduced the model system for blocks and items, it's still mostly similar in 1.9. The registry system has been overhauled in recent 1.9 versions of Forge, but it looks like you're already using the new system.

 

You can find Forge's official documentation here. This isn't a comprehensive guide to every part of Minecraft/Forge, but it does cover a few of the major concepts.

 

Sometimes you just have to read through the Minecraft/Forge code to figure out how various parts of it work.

Thank you for the docs. However I still can't make this work. I will keep trying anyways. Thanks.
