I am trying to do the basic corn tutorial (https://shadowfacts.net/tutorials/forge-modding-1112/crops)

So I have a BlockCornCrop extends BlockCrops, ItemSeedCorn, ItemCorn.

I am also implementing the IModelProvider (again, basic for many tuts). In my ModItems, I am registering the ItemSeedCorn and ItemCorn. In my ModBlocks I am registering the BlockCornCrop

 

Here's the issue:

in my mod class if I do:

@Mod.EventHandler
	public void init(FMLInitializationEvent event){
		
		ModItems.init(); //registers corn, corn seed
		
		ModBlocks.init();//registers corn crop
		
	}

The seeds are plantable, they grow and can be harvested (Which seems to indicate my corn blocks, json mappings, textures, etc are good), BUT the textures for corn seeds and corn are not loaded (pink square thing).

if I do:

@Mod.EventHandler
	public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent even){
		
		ModItems.init();
		
		ModBlocks.init();
		
	}

OR:

@Mod.EventHandler
	public void init(FMLInitializationEvent event){
		
		ModBlocks.init();
		
		
		
	}

@Mod.EventHandler
	public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent even){
		
		ModItems.init();	
		
		
	}

 

Then the seed and corn textures load (so tells me I think I have all the textures and json files in the correct spots. But when I go to plant the corn seeds MC crashes.

I'm assuming it is an issue with where the init/registration takes place and not with the actual corn code, json files, directory structure.  I can put those up if what I'm doing looks like it should work.

Blocks, then items, in preInit.

Thanks! Makes sense since the seed class creation needs the crop block.  For some reason, I was thinking the other way around.

4,962 other people have had the same problem and posted here about it.

Well, thanks for taking the time, not everyone does or would for a question asked/answered so often.

 

I did search first and browsed through the titles  (albiet not every single one of them) and a few postings that might have been related but didn't see anything that matched what I thought my issue was. Most that I saw were about file/directory structure issues, which by my testing, I did not believe was my issue. Google searches for 1.11 crop tutorials were very limited.

 

Thanks again for your time.

This isn't a 1.11 specific issue. People have been having this problem since at least 1.7
