So, I am trying to learn modding with Forge, and failed right on the start. I am trying to add a simple block - Coal Block, craftable with coal etc, ya know. Everything looks fine but the texture does not seem to load properly. I've tried whatever, but couldn't find a solution or where the issue is.

 

Here is my code (it's my "learning mod", bear with possible stupidity please):

 

base mod file:

 

package sandro;

clientPacketHandlerSpec = @SidedPacketHandler(channels = {"modSandro" }, packetHandler = ClientPacketHandler.class),
serverPacketHandlerSpec = @SidedPacketHandler(channels = {}, packetHandler = ServerPacketHandler.class))

public class modSandro {
   
  @SidedProxy(clientSide = "sandro.core.ClientProxy", serverSide = "sandro.core.CommonProxy") //Tells Forge the location of your proxies
  public static CommonProxy proxy;
    
  @Instance("modSandro")
  public static modSandro instance = new modSandro();
                                                     
  public static Block coalblock;
  
private void initBlocks() {
	coalblock = new BlockCoal(215, 0);
	coalblock.setBlockName("CoalBlock");
	GameRegistry.registerBlock(coalblock, "CoalBlock");
	LanguageRegistry.addName(coalblock, "Coal Block");
}
    
@Mod.Init
public void load(FMLInitializationEvent event)
{
	LanguageRegistry.instance().addStringLocalization("itemGroup.Sandro", "en_US", "Sandro's Features");
	initBlocks(); 
	initItems();
	initEntities(); 
	initRecipes(); 
	proxy.init();
}
    
private void initItems() {

}
  
private void initEntities()	{

}
  
private void initRecipes() {

	GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(coalblock, 1), new Object[] {"XXX","XXX","XXX", Character.valueOf('X'), Item.coal}); 
	GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(Item.coal, 1), new Object[] {"X", Character.valueOf('X'), coalblock}); 
}
}

 

 

Block file:

 

package sandro;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;  
import net.minecraft.world.World;
import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.*;        
import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;
import sandro.modSandro;     
import sandro.core.ClientProxy;  
import sandro.core.CommonProxy;

public class BlockCoal extends Block {
  public BlockCoal(int i, int j)
{
    super(i, j, Material.rock);
    setHardness(3.0F);
    setResistance(5.0F);
    setStepSound(super.soundStoneFootstep); 
    setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabBlock);
  }
  @Override
  public String getTextureFile() {
    return CommonProxy.COAL_BLOCK_TEXTURE;
  }
  
  @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
  public int getBlockTextureFromSide(int side) {
    return 1;
  }
}

 

 

ClientProxy.java:

 

package sandro.core;
                                   
import sandro.*;
import sandro.core.*;
import net.minecraft.client.Minecraft;
import net.minecraftforge.client.MinecraftForgeClient;
import cpw.mods.fml.client.FMLClientHandler;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod.Instance;
import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.Side;
import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.SideOnly;

public class ClientProxy extends CommonProxy {  
              
@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
  public void init(){
                                        
    MinecraftForgeClient.preloadTexture(COAL_BLOCK_TEXTURE); 
  } 
}

 

 

CommonProxy.java:

 

package sandro.core;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
import net.minecraft.item.crafting.FurnaceRecipes;
import net.minecraft.world.World;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.network.IGuiHandler;   
import cpw.mods.fml.common.network.NetworkRegistry;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.LanguageRegistry;
import sandro.modSandro;

public class CommonProxy implements IGuiHandler{

  public static String COAL_BLOCK_TEXTURE = "/gfx/Coalblock.png";
        
  public void registerRenderInformation() {
  }
  @Override
  public Object getServerGuiElement(int ID, EntityPlayer player, World world, int x, int y, int z) {
  return null;
  }
  @Override
  public Object getClientGuiElement(int ID, EntityPlayer player, World world, int x, int y, int z) {
  return null;
  }
  public void registerTiles(){
  }
  public void registerBlocks(){
  }
  public void addNames(){
  }
  public void addRecipes(){
  }
public void init() {
}
}

 

 

Here is what I get in-game:

The block's texture is messed up, but apparently it is somehow loaded. If I replace the texture with a red one, the block is red, but the texture is not rendered as it should.

This is the actual png texture:

 

I have tried to figure out where did I make a mistake for hours, but all in vain. Posting here as a last resort, if anyone can point me in the right direction of the error...

 

 

Ohooo, hat missed me somehow.

 

It's working now, thank you, thank you.
