I've been trying to create a new item, and GameRegistry isn't working. I can't find any tutorials online, and the tutorials on this forum are still in 1.8.

What do you mean with "GameRegistry isn't working"? It is working fine for me...

 

A few methods have been marked deprecated though, if that's what you mean?

public class Items {

public static Item test_item;

public static void init(){

	test_item = new Item().setUnlocalizedName("test_item");

}

public static void register(){

	GameRegistry.registerItem(test_item, test_item.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5));

}

public static void registerRenders(){



}

public static void registerRender(Item item)){

	Minecraft.getMinecraft().getRenderItem().getItemModelMesher().register(item, 0, new ModelResourceLocation(Reference.MOD_ID + ":" + item.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5), "inventory"));

}

}

 

This hasn't been working. It's probably because I haven't modded since the first version of 1.8, and I've forgot quite a bit. A tutorial would still be nice for 1.9.

Stop using unlocalized name and start using setRegistryName.  Don't ever use getUnlocalizedName().substring(5) for anything, ever.  Stop doing it.  That's bad.  Really really bad, perpetuated by a shitty tutorial that follows tons of bad practices and should be taken down.

Hi Draco, do you by any chance know of an example on how to use the RegistryName. I have been trying to update my mod to 1.9, but I cant get the item texture to load.

 

    ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation(LotsOMobsItems.DeerHide, 0, new ModelResourceLocation(LotsOMobsItems.DeerHide.getRegistryName().toString(), "inventory"));

 

Thats the line Im trying to register the model with.

       

        public static void itemInit()

        {

DeerHide = registerItem(new ItemMaterials("DeerHide"));

}

 

private static <T extends Item> T registerItem(T item) {

GameRegistry.register(item);

return item;

}

And here I register them.

There's already a lengthy thread here about the new way to set registry names before registering things. Find it and read it.

 

Meshing is discouraged (and client-side only anyway). There's some other set custom resource method to use instead (avoiding some tricky timing issues). D7 and Choonster have recommended it so many times in these threads that they probably keep a stock admonition in a text file ready for pasting...

You got a better tutorial I could use? I would gladly use it.

myItem.setRegistryName("myItemIsCool");

GameRegistry.register(myItem);

 

Also, getRegistryName() already returns a string, you don't need to .ToString() it.

It used to, but it now returns a

ResourceLocation

under the new registry system.

Ah, interesting.
