"saltblock" exists in exactly one place in my code and json files:

 

{
    "forge_marker": 1,
    "defaults": {
        "textures": {
            "all": "harderfarming:blocks/saltblock"
        },
        "model": "cube_all"
    },
    "variants": {
        "normal": [{

        }],
        "inventory": [{
            
        }]
    }
}

 

I've even commented out the whole mod to prevent it from loading and I still get the missing texture notification and no other errors are present.

That is a weird error it looks like it is looking for "minecraft:blocks/saltBlock" and if you have commented out the whole mod then this error shouldn't be showing up...hmmm what a mystery.

It's possible that your IDE is caching an older version of your compiled code. Try rebuilding the project (Build > Rebuild Project in IDEA) before running Minecraft again.

Will that delete the bin folder? I've had issues with the bin folder retaining old code before.

IDEA clears the output directories when you run Rebuild Project, Eclipse probably does something similar.

[Draco18s 2414]

Eclipse's version is Project -> Clean, I believe.  That was insufficient (I still got the error).

 

Lets try manually deleted everything in /bin, /build, and /run.... yep that did it.

 

What was weird was that it WAS using the current files (I could make changes and see them reflected when running), but kept insisting there was a problem.

[Draco18s 2414]

Edit, ok, the missing texture is back AND several other blocks now have missing models and no errors.

 

WTF.

 

*Compares with Git repo*

 

Well I can now solve both problems.  Despite having searched the entire project for "saltblock" and not finding it, it was buried over in the model used by the blocks that were broken.

That highlights the main reason that I HATE this new-fanged json scheme. Brokenness is not detected or traced by our IDE (Eclipse for most of us). Our most powerful tool knows neither syntax nor semantics of these opaque text files. For us old Fortran coders, it's much like returning to the 1970's.

 

I understand why Mojang wanted to "bake" models, but they could have used a callback method in Block and Item rather than pushing so much fragile code into the purgatory that is JSON. Imagine if each state to be baked could call a function, pass the BS, and get back an object to be baked. Our mods could then use all of Java's power to concatenate, consolidate etc. Cartesian products would never have happened. Errors would all have been in Java.

 

Life would have been so much simpler.
