Mods Don't Load (New Forge Install)

[Airfix]

I've recently installed a new version of minecraft, forge and eclipse.  As a test a ran a quick mod that I had working (with my old system) just to quickly verify the modding process is working.  It's not.  When I run the mod from Eclipse only the Forge example mod loads up.  My new mod "BlockBreakMEssage" is not working.  Obviously I'm a newbie to forge modding but I'm pretty sure I installed everything correctly using the gradle and the eclipse patches etc.  Here's what I have:

 

Minecraft Version 1.11.2

Forge MDK Version 1.11.2 - 13.20.0.2228 

Eclipse Version Neon.2 Release 4.6.2

 

I have a fairly simple mod that I took from a Gupta's Minecraft Modding with Forge book:

 

Main

package org.devoxx4kids.forge.mods;
import net.minecraftforge.common.MinecraftForge;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod.EventHandler;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLInitializationEvent;
@Mod(modid = Main.MODID, version = Main.VERSION)
public class Main {
    public static final String MODID = "myMods";
    public static final String VERSION = "1.0";
    
    @EventHandler
    public void init(FMLInitializationEvent event)
    {
        MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(new BlockBreakMessage());
    }
}

 

BlockBreakMessage

package org.devoxx4kids.forge.mods;
import net.minecraft.util.text.TextComponentString;
import net.minecraft.util.text.TextFormatting;
import net.minecraftforge.event.world.BlockEvent.BreakEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.eventhandler.SubscribeEvent;
public class BlockBreakMessage {
    @SubscribeEvent
    public void sendMessage(BreakEvent event){
        event
            .getPlayer()
            .sendMessage(
                    new TextComponentString(
                        TextFormatting.GOLD +
                    "You broke a block now you smell of poop!"));
    }
}

 

The console tells me of a couple of errors:

  Quote

[18:23:51] [main/ERROR] [FML]: The binary patch set is missing. Either you are in a development environment, or things are not going to work!
[18:23:53] [main/ERROR] [FML]: FML appears to be missing any signature data. This is not a good thing

[18:24:00] [Client thread/WARN] [FML]: * The modid myMods is not the same as it's lowercase version. Lowercasing is enforced in 1.11

Here is the full console output:

Cheers for any guidance over what is probably a minor error that I can't find.

Your mod id MUST be all lowercase.

Doh!  That's very frustrating.

 

Did that change recently?  I don't remember that before.  Ah well, it works now.   I knew it would be something simple.

 

Cheers,

It is new with 1.11, yes.  It has been recommended since at least 1.10, though I'm not sure when.

[jeffryfisher]

Lower case mod ID has been SoP since at least 1.7.2 (spring 2014) when I started modding.

[Wabefuhon]

I'm glad someone posted where I was stuck on Gupta's tutorial.

I want to add something in case people make the same mistake I do. In the line public static final String MODID = "myMod";, you need to change "myMod" to the name of your mod file. For the sake of example, "myMod" should say "Main".

Found this out as a last attempt to figure out what the problem was for over an hour.

Have fun.

Your modid field has nothing to do with forge. You're just passing its value to @Mod annotation, and that's it. It's just a string to store it, so you don't have to write your modid manually to every thing which needs it.
And please, don't name your fields how you want to, follow the convention. There's already a lot of unnecessary whitespaces in your code.
