Why is my mod not working after I try to update it to 1.8?

[an_awsome_person]

I found this tutorial for updating mods and I tried following it exactly.

http://www.wuppy29.com/minecraft/1-8-tutorial/updating-1-7-to-1-8-part-2-basic-items/#sthash.dfGTFGlk.PfQ8TRGI.dpbs

When I compiled this code, it said that chainMail cannot be resolved to a variable, and that ModResourceLocation cannot be resolved to a type.

 

if(event.getSide() == Side.CLIENT){

        RenderItem renderItem = Minecraft.getMinecraft().getRenderItem();

        renderItem.getItemModelMesher().register(chainMail, 0,

        new ModelResourceLocation(RenewabilityMod.MODID + ":" +

        ((ItemChainMail) chainMail).getName(), "inventory"));

}

 

Also, when I compiled this code, it said that EventHandler cannot be resolved to a type.

 

public static Item chainMail;

 

@EventHandler

public static void items(){

    chainMail = new ItemChainMail();

    GameRegistry.registerItem(chainMail, "Chain Mail");

}

 

What am I doing wrong?

[Animefan8888]

Did you create the class ItemChainMail?

[an_awsome_person]

Did you create the class ItemChainMail?

Yes. Would you like for me to show you what's in the class ItemChainMail?

[Animefan8888]

I would.

[Animefan8888]

Wait how are you compiling?

[an_awsome_person]

package items;

 

import com.renewability.renewabilitymod.RenewabilityMod;

import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;

import net.minecraft.item.Item;

import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;

 

public class ItemChainMail extends Item{

 

private final String name = "chain_mail";

 

public ItemChainMail(){

GameRegistry.registerItem(this, name);

    setUnlocalizedName(RenewabilityMod.MODID + "_" + name);

    setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.MATERIALS);

}

 

public String getName(){

return(name);

}

}

 

Eclipse compiles code automatically.

Eclipse compiles code automatically.

 

Running in Eclipse is fine.

Building a jar you must use gradle.

How do I use gradle? (sorry if I look like a noob because I mostly am)

[Draco18s]

You need to run:

gradle.bat build

in the command line

You need to run:

gradle.bat build

Is there a specific place where I have to open the command window?

[Draco18s]

Your Forge directory.

 

You know.

 

Like how you ran

gradle setupDevWorkspace

and

gradle eclipse

[an_awsome_person]

You need to run:

gradle.bat build

in the command line

Are you sure you didn't mean gradlew.bat build? Because when I ran gradle.bat build, it said, "'gradle.bat' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." I do, however, have a batch file called gradlew.bat.

[an_awsome_person]

I also tried running gradlew.bat build, but my code still has compile errors.

[Draco18s]

You should fix those.

[an_awsome_person]

You should fix those.

In case you didn't know, most people ask for support when they don't know how to do something. Because you should be able to read the original post, you know that I don't know at least one thing. Please don't ask me to do something I don't know how to do, unless you attach instructions for how to do them.

"It produces errors"

 

I see.  Let me just use my crystal ball to divine what those errors are....

Doesn't the original post have that information?

[Ugdhar]

You should post everything that is shown in the error screen, not just a summary in your own words. I believe that is what people are trying to get you to do.

[loordgek]

what are you doing here ?

 

@EventHandler

public static void items(){

    chainMail = new ItemChainMail();

    GameRegistry.registerItem(chainMail, "Chain Mail");

}

They're compiler errors, and that's all the information Eclipse gives me on compiler errors.

@EventHandler

public static void items(){

    chainMail = new ItemChainMail();

    GameRegistry.registerItem(chainMail, "Chain Mail");

}

That's what the tutorial had told me to do.

Nevermind. It works now.
