I only started coding a few days ago, so I am fairly new. I have been learning of a book, and came across an error in eclipse when trying to register an Item: 

package com.mrfiretruck.extramoddedminecraft;

import net.minecraft.init.Blocks;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod.EventHandler;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLInitializationEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
import net.minecraft.enchantment.Enchantment;


@Mod(modid = ExtraModdedMinecraft.MODID, version = ExtraModdedMinecraft.VERSION)
public class ExtraModdedMinecraft
{
    public static final String MODID = "mrfiretruck_extramoddedminecraft";
    public static final String VERSION = "1.0";
    public static Item ruby;
    
    @EventHandler
    public void preInit(FMLInitializationEvent event)
    {
    	//Item init
    	ruby = new ItemRuby();
    	//Item Registry 
    	GameRegistry.registerItem(ruby, "Ruby");
    }
    public void init(FMLInitializationEvent event)
    {
        
    }
}

under registerItem is an error saying "The method registerItem(Item, String) is undefined for the type GameRegistry"

How do i fix this? I tried running the game and it just crashed rip

Im fairly new, and that seems to be a bit complicated. The book said I should use GameRegistry.registerItem, is it a change in the newer versions of forge? And do you know what exact code i should use? All videos and books i see seem to have GameRegistry.registerItem and it doesnt work ;-; help me pls

I suggest that you explore the features of Eclipse to see what it can do for you (the web has tutorials). When you discover the many ways to select elements of code and jump to them, try them out on all the vanilla Minecraft elements you can, starting with GameRegistry. Look through it to see what public methods exist for registering items.

 

After sufficient explorations, that will no longer seem to be a bit complicated.

I looked through GameRegistry, and I can't figure out much that will register items. Can you help?

Can you explain Exactly how to register Items? The docs seem a bit confusing in the way of registering items @diesieben07 @jeffryfisher

Hmm. Let me see here...

Forge uses registries with ResourceLocation keys to register objects, which are of type IForgeRegistryEntry

E.g. there’s a registry for Blocks, and a registry for Items

 

Can you find anything that uses IForgeRegistryEntry instead?

Did you even read the "Registering Things" section?

Sorry, I had an extension that was blocking certain parts. Thanks for your help.
