Setting Registry Name for an Item [1.9.4]

[DaBrownWolf]

Hey all, so I have some basic knowledge regarding java, like object creation, methods, variables, and properties. I learned from Khan Academy, if that knowledge is of any use.

 

Anyway, I am following Crayfish's tutorial for adding items to Minecraft, and for some reason, I can set the unlocalized name, but not the registry name for the item, because it says I haven't defined the method for setRegistryName. My code is below. The ItemMango class contains a couple methods, which set the unlocalized name, and the registry name. My Reference class clearly defines the method for the registry name, but I still get an error. I would greatly appreciate any help.

 

Thanks

 

package com.Atirath.Main.items;

import com.Atirath.Main.Reference;

import net.minecraft.item.Item;

public class ItemMango extends Item {

public ItemMango() {
	setRegistryName(Reference.MainItems.MANGO.getRegistryName());
	setUnlocalizedName(Reference.MainItems.MANGO.getUnlocalizedname());
}		
}	




package com.Atirath.Main;

import com.Atirath.Main.init.ModItems;
import com.Atirath.Main.proxy.CommonProxy;

import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod.EventHandler;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod.Instance;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.SidedProxy;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLInitializationEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLPostInitializationEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLPreInitializationEvent;

public class Main {

@Instance
public static Main instance;

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

@EventHandler
public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event){
	System.out.println("Pre Init");
	ModItems.init();
	ModItems.register();
}

@EventHandler
public void init(FMLInitializationEvent event){
	System.out.println("Init");
	proxy.init();
}
@EventHandler
public void postInit(FMLPostInitializationEvent event){
	System.out.println("Post Init");
}
}

Which version of Minecraft are you using? Always specify this in the thread title.

 

You should also wrap your code in [nobbc]

[/nobbc] tags so it's formatted properly.

[DaBrownWolf]

Sorry, I'm a bit new here. My version is 1.9.4

 

I'll make sure to wrap my code with those tags next time. How would you go about using those code tags? Could you give a quick example using one line of code?

EDIT:I modified the post with the version and formatting

Show the

Reference.MainItems

class.

[DaBrownWolf]

Here it is. The video does not show him creating something like public class MainItems, but he does create an enum.

 

public static enum MainItems {
	MANGO("mango", "ItemMango");

	private String unlocalizedName;
	private String registryName;

	MainItems(String unlocalizedName, String registryName) 
	{
		this.unlocalizedName = unlocalizedName;
		this.registryName = registryName;
	}
		public String getUnlocalizedname(){
			return unlocalizedName;
		}

		public String getRegistryName(){
		return registryName;
		}
}

Can anyone please help me? Is my code wrong? Is my version of forge outdated? Or did I set it up wrong? This one thing is really holding me back.

[gurujive]

this is an example src containing how to set the registry name for an item (very straight forward):

If you download. and open it in eclipse you will have your answer.

 

You can also go here:

https://minecraft.curseforge.com/projects/the-basic-elements/files

 

and download that source for an example of registering multiple items.

 

[gurujive]

go here:

https://minecraft.curseforge.com/projects/the-basic-elements

 

click "Source"

 

Download. and open it in eclipse. and you will have your answer.

"Just copy this" style answers are not appreciated on this forum. Thank you.

 

I adjusted it. If that helps ease your grief. Its very difficult (if not impossible) to learn from mcrayfish's videos without some kind of modern reference to look at.

[DaBrownWolf]

I'm still confused. That does not work. The line of code I assume I am supposed to look at in your file is

 

GameRegistry.register(SPHERE.setRegistryName ("sphere"));

 

and my line of code is similar:

 

GameRegistry.register(mango.setRegistryName("mango"));

 

I am still not sure what I am doing wrong.

Define "does not work."

[DaBrownWolf]

Define "does not work."

 

Is that directed at other users on this thread, or me? If it is directed towards me, what do you mean?

Yes it is direcred at you, he means what doesnt work?

[DaBrownWolf]

Sorry, I thought you were referring to defining a method. I am still getting a bug when I use the line of code within the example mod gurujive sent me. Specifically, I get the error message "The method setRegistryName(String) is undefined for the type ItemMango" when I attempt to use

 

setRegistryName(MainItems.MANGO.getRegistryName());

 

I apologize for the confusion.

[Animefan8888]

Are you absolutely positive you are using forge 1.9.4.

[DaBrownWolf]

I attempted to update it using the guide here:

 

http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php?topic=14048.0#post_troubleshoot

 

I followed the instructions, and I was under the assumption that forge got updated. However, I do not know how to tell if it has been updated for sure.

Try creating a new workspace and copying your code over to there. Though I am not sure what part of the updating went wrong.

[DaBrownWolf]

So I just tried to update Forge again, and I merged my old workspace with my new one, and things are worse. I might just have to rebuild my mod from scratch.
