1.9 Help with creating an ore (new to modding)

[MrPlantPots]

I'm new to modding and I've been following this tutorial: http://www.minecraftforge.net/wiki/Tutorials

 

I've noticed a few of the methods are depricated and it doesn't seem too up to date. I have created a block and an item however overriding the getItemDropped method doesn't seem to work to make the block drop the ore. It just throws an error, does anybody know why this is? And if there is a tutorial on how I could do something like this in 1.9? Thank you!

If you know your way around Java, only thing Forge requires you to learn is its API.

Block, Items, Tiles, Entities, etc. are ALL of vanilla origin - you can simply look into base classes and decide what you want to override.

 

Tutorials will only show basics of doing so (some of methods) and ways of registering stuff to forge - which can also be easily learned just by looking at e.g GameRegistry class.

 

As to tutorials:

Some concepts: http://mcforge.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Some examples (1.8, but still mostly valid, 1.9 introduced some new registration API): https://github.com/TheGreyGhost/MinecraftByExample

Google dude - google will give you all the tutorials you need.

Um... How can we to say "why" when you keep the error a secret?

 

Show us the error log (in spoiler tags) and show your entire class that contains the proximate cause.

Or what Eclipse says when you hover over the underlined red area.

("No method to override, remove override annotation" means that you're not actually overriding the method you think you are, you need to change the method signature to match, not remove the annotation.  The reason Eclipse suggests that is because it doesn't know what the method signature should be, so it makes the only suggestion it can).
