Hello, I'm rather new to minecraft modding, and in my quest to get started, I appeared to have hit an unfortunate block (no pun intended).

I've successfully set up my mod so that the item I've added is registered and in the creative tab. The problem is that the texture isn't being applied. My Json looks like this:

Spoiler

{
    "parent": "item/generated",
    "textures": {
        "layer0": "<MODID>:items/<ITEMNAME>"
    },
    "display": {
        "thirdperson": {
            "rotation": [ -90, 0, 0 ],
            "translation": [ 0, 1, -3 ],
            "scale": [ 0.55, 0.55, 0.55 ]
        },
        "firstperson": {
            "rotation": [ 0, -135, 25 ],
            "translation": [ 1.13, 3.2, 1.13 ],
            "scale": [ 0.68, 0.68, 0.68 ]
        }
    }
}

Obviously my MODID and item name are replaced here. My png texture is titled the item name.

the json is in the folder src/main/resources/assets/<MODID>/models/item and the texture is in the folder src/main/resources/assets/<MODID>/textures/items. I have tried all permutations of having an s on the end of item, so I don't think that's the issue, but I'm not confident.

In game, when I try to look at the item, it has the pink and black texture with "<MODID>:<ITEMNAME>#inventory" written on it (the quotation marks are added, and the <MODID> and <ITEMNAME> are replaced with the real values. However, the item name is in all lower case.

 

Any help is appreciated.

Post the latest log, it should contain model/texture errors.

I believe these should be the ones.

Are you sure your JSON files have the right names and paths? Have you set up your IDE project as per the documentation?

Aha! I got it. Thanks for interpreting the log for me Choonster. I figured it out.

 

The problem was that Forge was searching for itemtutitem.json, wheras I had named it ItemTutItem.json Apparently forge doesn't like capital letters, so when I made the json and my png all lower case it found it easily. Your help is much appreciated.

Minecraft 1.11+ requires all asset file names to be lowercase.
