Create a subclass of ItemSword that uses your material.

That's a real problem. Java is a prerequisite for this forum, so you must go learn it elsewhere or have enough programming experience that you can wing it successfully. In other words, claiming Java ignorance will earn you disdain here, not sympathy.

 

Fortunately, the web is a rich source of help with Java, and the Eclipse IDE is a powerful crutch to the new Java programmer. Best of all, you have all of the decompiled and deobfuscated vanilla source code to explore (and Forge source too). Get out there (exploring the existing Minecraft code base) and learn yourself some Java.

how exactly. would this code so far be correct?

package items;
import com.bhavik.testmod.PickaxeTest;
import com.bhavik.testmod.reference;

import items.ItemRuby;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
public class ItemSword extends Item{	
	public ItemSword(){
		setUnlocalizedName(reference.PickaxeTestItems.RUBYSWORD.getUnlocalizedName());
		setRegistryName(reference.PickaxeTestItems.RUBYSWORD.getRegistryName());
		setCreativeTab(PickaxeTest.tabPickaxeTest);
	}
	
}

}

 

Your class needs to extend ItemSword, not Item.

Yes, ItemSword is a vanilla class in minecraft. The constructor for that class requires parameters, so you need to manually call super in your own constructor and pass the parameters to it.
