Why are you overriding getUnlocalizedName? You have to set the unlocalizedName by calling setUnlocalizedName.

Edited February 19, 20178 yr by Awesome_Spider

just following a tutorial vid

Hmm. Not sure why they would tell you to do that. Just call setUnlocalizedName instead. Not sure if that's why it's not showing up.

Thank you i did change it but no nothing.

You're trying to register item rendering stuff during the Init event. You can't do this, it is too late.  You must register textures during preInit.

The texture in common is under preinit

but trying to register in pre init

Edited February 19, 20178 yr by clowcadia

Still nothing..

Also, don't use the ModelMesher. Use ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation.

Praises Wizzard... on it

Oh But yea is it right to do it in common proxy to do the texture and in client proxy register item in init?

Don't register the item in init and the renderer in preinit, this will probably cause a nullpointer exception.

What would u suggest? Both pre-init?

Still nothing , i must of coded this wrong

package com.blank.tutorial.init;

import com.blank.tutorial.Tutorial;
import com.blank.tutorial.items.ItemTutorial;
import com.blank.tutorial.lib.Names;

import net.minecraft.client.renderer.block.model.ModelResourceLocation;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraft.util.ResourceLocation;
import net.minecraftforge.client.model.ModelLoader;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.relauncher.Side;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.relauncher.SideOnly;

public class TutorialItems 
{
	public static ItemTutorial tutorialItem;	
	
	public static void init()
	{
		tutorialItem = new ItemTutorial();
		tutorialItem.setRegistryName(new ResourceLocation(Tutorial.MOD_ID,Names.TUTORIAL_ITEM));
		GameRegistry.register(tutorialItem);
	}
	
	@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
	public static void initClient()
	{
		Item item = Item.getItemFromBlock(ItemTutorial.instance);		
		ModelResourceLocation model = new ModelResourceLocation(Tutorial.RESOURCE_PREFIX + Names.TUTORIAL_ITEM, "Inventory");
		ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation(item, 0, model);
		
	}
	
}

 

Post you other classes as well (clientproxy, item, names)

nothing is changed other then the call for that function is in pre-init on Common Proxy it is at top post

Do you have an error ingame?

 

not sure yet, just reconfiguring my works space atm. maybe something to do with my configuration

I suggest that you browse these forums for modders who've posted links to their work in github (or search github for Minecraft Forge mods). Look at several, finding relatively simple ones, and take note of what goes where (esp if the modder's thread here shows that the mod ended up fixed and working).

 

Also look up the modding by example.

 

Finally, disregard all tutorials that mention the model mesher. Delete all links to those old things.
