I have read through the FML Documentation for 1.12 particularly over the item / block registry and I'm still confused on how to use it.

 

This is how I'm used to doing it:

public class ModItems {
	public static Item gold;

	public void init() {
		gold = new ItemGold();
	}

	public void register() {
		GameRegistry.register(gold);
	}

	public void registerRenders() {
		registerRender(gold);
	}

	public void registerRender(Item item) {
		Minecraft.getMinecraft().getRenderItem().getItemModelMesher().register(item, 0, new ModelResourceLocation(Reference.MODID + ":" + 			getUnlocalizedName().substring(5), "inventory"))
	}
}

Then I call "ModItems.register();" in my main class under "preInit()", and "registerRenders()" in my "ClientProxy" class.

Doing this in 1.12 does not work, and any help would be appreciated.

1) STOP USING THE MODELMESHER (I am yelling because this is ALL OVER THIS FORUM for anything having anything to do with textures). This hasn't been correct since 1.8

2) http://mcforge.readthedocs.io/en/latest/concepts/registries/#registering-things

P.S. When will I get my reward for still not thinking that most people are complete idiots?

Probably never.

And I don't think people are idiots, I just think that they can't be bothered to do even a cursory search.

I suppose all the answers s were right under my nose, I was just looking in the wrong places. Thank you guys for your help, my issue has been solved.
