I'm returning to modding Minecraft after a very long time and i'm having issues getting a item model to render. I've uploaded the source to this github for viewing.

Any assistance in why it's not working will be greatly appreciated.

ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation(item, 0, new ModelResourceLocation(item.getRegistryName(), "inventory"));

 

1. add .substring(5);

 

2. @Mod.EventHandler you can replace with @EventHandler

No. getRegistryName() does not need the substring(5) bullshit that using getUnlocalizedName() does.

I can't, IntelliJ fails to resolve it if I do and when I auto-resolve it replaces it back to @Mod.EventHandler.

I know, still can't work out why the item isn't rendering though.

ModelLoader methods must be called before init, they won't do anything if called in init or later.

 

Since you're still registering your items/blocks in preInit, register the models in preInit as well. I recommend moving your registration to the registry events and registering the models in ModelRegistryEvent, this will make it easier to update to 1.12+.

But if I move my registration to the registry events, I get a nullpointer exception for my blocks with item dependencies (for drops) since the item is not registered yet, or am I doing something wrong?
