I am pretty new to creating my own Mods using Forge.

I tried a simple one, but it does not worked. It was supposed to melt a self created ore into a self created item. I had no problems with creating a recipe 1 diamond -> 8 coal for example. But it does not work with own blocks. The ore block i want to melt and the item works perfectly fine btw ( texture, getting effects by rightclicking item etc.)

And sorry for my bad english

1) You are registering your recipes before the

Items

, this will not work.

2) Register your

Item

s in preInit

3) You are registering your renderers in common code, move this to your ClientProxy.

4) Use

ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation

instead of

Minecraft.getMinecraft().getRenderItem().getItemModelMesher().register

5) Don't instantiate your Items on the same line where you declare them. Do it right before you register them.

 

There are probably more issues with your code, and I'm not going to bother looking for all of them.

 

Either way, the tutorial you are using is pretty bad. Look for a good one instead, or come back here for help after you fix the main 5 issues I pointed out.

Also update.  If you really want to use 1.8, then update to 1.8.9
