[1.12.2] Trouble getting items to work and render properly

[ghostwolf_]

Hey guy im working on adding items to my mod and i while doing so i had difficulty get a few things right and maybe you can point me in the right direction.

 

first off i couldnt find a clear guide on how to save data to an item, right now it changes the global value for the item rather then just the stack used, below is the code for the wrench im making and i want the user to be able to switch modes but switching the mode changes it for all wrenches rather then just the one used how so i make it so that it only affects the one wrench?

 

public class ItemRobotWrench extends Item {
	
	EntityRobot selectedBot;
	private String[] modes = new String[]{"insert", "extract", "fuel"};
	private int mode = 0;
	
    public ItemRobotWrench() {
        setRegistryName("robotwrench");        
        setUnlocalizedName(Reference.MOD_ID + ":robotwrench");   
    	setCreativeTab(ModItems.SteampunkItemsTab);
    	this.selectedBot = null;
    }
    
    @Override
    public ActionResult<ItemStack> onItemRightClick(World worldIn, EntityPlayer playerIn, EnumHand handIn) {
    	Entity target= Minecraft.getMinecraft().objectMouseOver.entityHit;
    	if (target != null && target instanceof EntityRobot) {
    		if (this.selectedBot != null) {
    			this.selectedBot.setGlowing(false);
    		}
    		this.selectedBot = (EntityRobot) target;
    	}  else {
    		if (! playerIn.isSneaking()) {
    			nextMode();
    		}
    	}
    	return super.onItemRightClick(worldIn, playerIn, handIn);
    }
    
    @Override
    public EnumActionResult onItemUse(EntityPlayer player, World worldIn, BlockPos pos, EnumHand hand,
    		EnumFacing facing, float hitX, float hitY, float hitZ) {
    	if (worldIn.isRemote) {
    	if (worldIn.isAirBlock(pos)) {
    		nextMode();
    	}  else {
    		if (player.isSneaking()) {
    		if (this.selectedBot != null) {
    				PacketHandler.INSTANCE.sendToServer(new PacketSetAccessPoint(pos,facing.ordinal(),this.selectedBot.getEntityId(),this.mode));
    			}
    		}
    	}
    	}
    	return super.onItemUse(player, worldIn, pos, hand, facing, hitX, hitY, hitZ);
    
    }
    
    private void nextMode () {
    	this.mode++;
    	if (this.mode >= this.modes.length) {
    		this.mode = 0;
    	}
    }
    
    @Override
    public String getItemStackDisplayName(ItemStack stack) {
    	if (this.selectedBot != null) {
    		return super.getItemStackDisplayName(stack) + ":" + this.modes[this.mode] + ":" +  this.selectedBot.getName();
    	}
    	return super.getItemStackDisplayName(stack) + ":" + this.modes[this.mode];
    }
    
    @Override
    public void onUpdate(ItemStack stack, World worldIn, Entity entityIn, int itemSlot, boolean isSelected) {
    	if (this.selectedBot != null) {
    	if (isSelected) {
    		this.selectedBot.setGlowing(true);
    	} else {
    		this.selectedBot.setGlowing(false);
    	}
    	}
    	super.onUpdate(stack, worldIn, entityIn, itemSlot, isSelected);
    }
    

}

 

in another item i have trouble getting the texture loaded, i found a post that said i had to insert the .json for the item in the blockstates, which i think should be the right way since thermal foundation does it the same way, but i cant get it to load the file i have attached an image with what it looks like in game

 

the place where it most likely goes wrong is in the .json file because thats what im most unfamiliar with

 

{
	"forge_marker": 1,
	"defaults": {
		"model": "item/generated",
		"textures": {
			"layer0": "blocks/dirt"
		},
	},
	"variants": {
		"inventory": [{}],
		"normal": [{}],
		"type": {
			"ingotcopper": {
				"textures": {
					"layer0": "steampunkrevolution:items/material/ingotcopper"
				}
			},
			"ingottin": {
				"textures": {
					"layer0": "steampunkrevolution:items/material/ingotcopper"
				}
			}
		}
	}
}

 

tin and copper currently use the same texture but neither of them load

 

 

i get an     java.io.FileNotFoundException: steampunkrevolution:models/item/material.json error because the file is under models/block/material.json

when i had it in the other folder originally i ended up with invisible items, so that didnt work either. but ill try again. any idea what might have caused items being invisible?

 

Edit: back to invisible items again, added image
