Hi, I'm updating my relatively simple mod to 1.11 and so far all of the 1.10 code just works with minor tweaks. Which is great, but i have one issue. Here is the class for my creative tab:

 

package com.bored.morefuelsmod.client;

import com.bored.morefuelsmod.Main;
import com.bored.morefuelsmod.item.ModItems;

import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;

public class MoreFuelsTab extends CreativeTabs {

public MoreFuelsTab() {
	super(Main.modid);
}

@Override
public Item getTabIconItem() {
	return ModItems.coke;
}

}

 

On the override, i am now told that "The return type is incompatible with CreativeTabs.getTabIconItem()." Code correction suggests that ItemStack is what it wants, however that simply does not work with my code. Is there a workaround for this? When i try to launch minecraft, it will launch and load in a world, however if you go to the creative tab it will crash before even displaying the tab. 

How is returning an ItemStack incompatible with your code? Just change the return type and return a

new ItemStack(ModItems.coke)

.

Just tried that, now the only working texture is the coke item

Huh?

class 1:

 

package exampled.modinfo;

import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;

public class ModCreativeTabs {
public static CreativeTabs example_tab;
public static void load(){
	example_tab = new ExampledCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.getNextID());
}
}

 

 

class 2 that extends CreativeTabs:

 

package exampled.modinfo;

import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;
import net.minecraft.init.Items;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;

public class ExampledCreativeTab extends CreativeTabs {
public ExampledCreativeTab(int id) {
	super("example_tab");
}
@Override
public ItemStack getTabIconItem() {
	return new ItemStack(Items.ENCHANTED_BOOK);
}
}

 

 

 

anything other than that I would imagine json...

src/main/resources/assets.textures.entity.sphere.png

{
"ambientocclusion": false,
    "textures": {
        "0": "exampled:entity/sphere",
        "1": "blocks/glass_pane_top_black"
    },

this works for me

 

return new ItemStack(ModItems.INGOT_BRASS ) //yea i use same class as you for items

 

this works for me

 

return new ItemStack(ModItems.INGOT_BRASS ) //yea i use same class as you for items

 

This worked, thanks.
