Hello c:,

I just started Minecraft modding with an yt tutorial. But now I got a Problem. When I want to set an icon for the creative tab I got an error.

@Override
public Item getTabIconItem() {
	return Items.GOLDEN_APPLE;
}

My eclipse underline the type Item red and says "The return type is incompatible with CreativeTabs.getTabIconItem()". What return type I have to use?

 

Would be nice when somenone can help me c:,

If you looked at the

CreativeTabs

class, you can see that it now wants a

ItemStack

in return now.

How can I lookup the classes in Eclipse?

Last time I used Eclipse, it was

Ctrl+Shift+T

.

You can also hover over it and click on the name (or green dot) in the tooltip.

There's also the Navigate menu, and "Open Declaration."

Okay now I use ItemStack().

@Override
public ItemStack getTabIconItem() {
	return ItemStack(Items.LAVA_BUCKET);
}

 

Now my eclipse says : "The method ItemStack(Item) is undefined for the type CreativeTabTut" but I extends CreativeTabs for My CreativeTabTut class and I also import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack.

You forgot the "new" keyword.

Okay works fine thank you

Also, for setBackgroundImageName("momod_food"), where does minecraft look for the texture? I already know that it adds "tab_" in front of the texture name, but my tab shows a purple and black texture. It worked for me in 1.8, but not now...

It's used in

GuiContainerCreative

:

this.mc.getTextureManager().bindTexture(new ResourceLocation("textures/gui/container/creative_inventory/tab_" + creativetabs.getBackgroundImageName()));

There's no domain specified, meaning it's looking in the minecraft domain.

You should add the ".png" extension to the

String

passed in

setBackgroundImageName

method, as it doesn't get added automatically.
