I'm adding in armor for my mod and I came across this: public static ArmorMaterial tin_helmet = EnumHelper.addArmorMaterial("tin_helmet", "mineralz", 125, 1, 30, soundOnEquip);

 

What am I supposed to do with soundOnEquip?

Has this something to do with the new sound whenever you equip yourself with gear?

If so where can I find the original sound of it?

soundOnEquip

is the

SoundEvent

to play when the armour is equipped, yes. Look at the

ArmorMaterial

enum itself to see which

SoundEvent

s are used by vanilla armour.

Ok where can I find the exact location of that file? I'm having trouble finding it

Use your IDE. In IntelliJ IDEA you can press Ctrl-N to bring up the Find Class window, this allows you to search for classes by name. Eclipse probably has a similar feature.

 

You can also browse the forgeSrc library in your IDE to find the

ItemArmor

class and the

ArmorMaterial

enum inside of it.

I can't find any of it. Isn't eclipse supposed to have a copy of minecraft saved somewhere?

 

EDIT: Nvm found the source but where are the file sounds exactly located? That wizard can't do shiz...

Look for the

net.minecraft.item.ItemArmor

class inside the forgeSrc library.

 

If it doesn't have sources attached, you haven't set up your workspace properly. This page explains how to properly set up a ForgeGradle workspace.

Ok i found it but now there's a new problem. I've been following a modding tutorial for 1.8.9 how to make your custom armor and this text keeps lighting up red.

 

public static ArmorMaterial tin_helmet = EnumHelper.addArmorMaterial("tin_helmet", "mineralz", 125, 3, 30, SoundEvents.item_armor_equip_iron);

 

now what?

If you mouseover the line with the error, Eclipse should tell you exactly what's wrong with it.

 

In this case, the arguments you're passing to

EnumHelper.addArmorMaterial

don't match its signature. Look at the

EnumHelper

class in your IDE to see the signature of the method.
