Ive been trying to learn how to make a simple mod on my own but ive been running into a few problems along the way, I was woundering if anyone would be willing to take some time to do a skype call with me and teach me or help me out.

Check out youtube, there is enough if you need detailed explanations

I have been, ive been watching mr crayfish's tutorials but for some reason the item textures wont render in.

 

Tutorial.java

package com.meep.tutorial;

import com.meep.tutorial.init.Items;

import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod;

import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLInitializationEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLPostInitializationEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLPreInitializationEvent;

@Mod(modid =  Reference.MOD_ID, name = Reference.MOD_NAME, version = Reference.VERSION)
public class Tutorial {

@SidedProxy(clientSide = Reference.CLIENT_PROXY_CLASS,  serverSide = Reference.SERVER_PROXY_CLASS)
public static CommonProxy proxy;

@EventHandler
public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event)
{
	Items.init();
	Items.register();
}

@EventHandler
public void Init(FMLInitializationEvent event)
{
proxy.registerRenders();	
}

@EventHandler
public void postInit(FMLPostInitializationEvent event)
{

}
}

public static void init() {
	test = new Item().setUnlocalizedName("test");
}

public static void register()
{
	GameRegistry.registerItem(test, test.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5));
}

public static void registerRenders()
{
	registerRender(test);
}

public static void registerRender(Item item)
{
	Minecraft.getMinecraft().getRenderItem().getItemModelMesher().register(item, 0, new ModelResourceLocation(Reference.MOD_ID + ":" + item.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5), "inventory"));
}
}

Make sure your folder with textures has lower case letters. Your modid is 'MTM', folder in assets should be called 'mtm'.

Thank you so much, what is the reason for it being lower cased?
