"cannot be resolved to a type"

[gerbillover]

I've recently set up a new workspace for Forge 1.12 and have ran into a problem.

After setting up my workspace, while writing the main mod class I found that most Forge methods like "FMLInitializationEvent" cannot be found by Eclipse. It simply states "@ Mod cannot be resolved to a type" and there are no imports available. I've made sure to add Forge as a project to the build path and while looking around, I did hear something about an src jar to add to the build path, but I couldn't find this in my Forge files.

 

I never had this issue previously when setting up with 1.7 or 1.8 versions. I'm using Forge version 14.21.1.2443 (for 1.12).

Anyone know how I can fix this?

How did you set up the workspace? Forge's documentation explains how to do it properly here.

[gerbillover]

Almost exactly as it says in that documentation, that's what I've been referring to. I'm using Eclipse

Try manually adding the import:

import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod;

Does that work?

[gerbillover]

No, that does not work. I'm assuming this means Forge isn't properly imported, I'll take a look

 

Odd, my Forge is definitely imported, it shows in the package explorer. It actually seems lots of methods are missing from my Forge install.

 

Edit: I've compared this Forge to an older 1.7.10 Forge I have which does work, and there doesn't seem to be anything missing...

I think I've nailed it! Completely redid my workspace, turns out I selected the wrong folders when importing the project  Thanks for your help though everyone

3 years later I face the same problem like you, How can you solve it? I've redid my workspace 2 times, but it still doesn't work. And I also tried to added 'import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod;' .But after I added this into my code. 'net' went to an error too. Maybe you can tell me more useful suggestions. Thanks.😀
