Naming with metadata

Posted June 15, 201213 yr

How do you name blocks with metadata? All of them are being named the same thing... Like id xxx and xxx:1

are both named the same thing... any ideas on how to change it?

You name the itemstack with the metadata.

ModLoader.addName(new ItemStack(xxx, 1, 4), "NAME")

In this case 4 is the metadata. XXX represents your block/item.

You also need an ItemBlock class. You have to register it with ModLoader.

ModLoader.registerBlock(YourBlockVariable, YourItemBlock.class)

Quick note where it says

ModLoader.addName (new ItemStack(oreCopper,1,1), "XYZ");

changed the name from Copper Ore (witch both blocks have been stuck being named) to XYZ

made a modpack but i get this error every time i try to launch minecraft

[main/ERROR]:Failed reading REFMAP JSON from : java.lang.NullPointerException Cannot invoke "org.spongepowered.asm.mixin.refmap.ReferenceMapper.setResourceName(String)" because "mapper" is null

this is the error message i keep getting when trying to launch minecraft from the launcher with my mods but i just can't figure out what this error message means. i'm new to making mod packs but i have tried making 3 separate mod packs with different mods but i still run into this issue and i am starting to think there might be a conflict between 2 different mods but again i have no idea since this is the only error message i get. any idea's?

Add the crash-report or latest.log (logs-folder) with sites like https://mclo.gs/ and paste the link to it here

How Do I Commission A Mod

There typically isnt a place to commission mods. Mods are made by hobbyist programmers in their spair time. You could try some general minecraft modding discords, but I dont have any to recommend.
