Hello, I tried two days to get this working and have no idea why:

I have a (currently) rather simple block model. If I have no Blockstates it renders just fine. Now I wanted to add variants to it, so I added two PropertyEnum fields to my Block class:

  Reveal hidden contents

Then I used the forge blockstate JSON format to define the variants:

  Reveal hidden contents

But I always get "Missing variant Exceptions" even if they are clearly stated in my Blockstate json:

  Reveal hidden contents

Finally found the issue: I have to name the submodel. I thought this was only needed if you want to have more than one.

Final blockstate json:

  Reveal hidden contents

No, the problem is that you didn't correctly create a valid JSON file, here's the underlying error you had: 

Caused by: com.google.gson.JsonSyntaxException: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Not a JSON Object: "techmod:cablecar_track_normal"

 

And your original JSON: 

"north": {
    "submodel": {
        "model": "techmod:cablecar_track_normal"
    }
}

"model" (or rather, the first child of "submodel") is expected to be an Object and you have a string.

If you look at your corrected JSON file: 

"north": {
    "submodel": {
        "track": {
            "model": "techmod:cablecar_track_normal"
        }
    }
}

You can see that now you have an Object child of "submodel"

 

If we look at the docs...we see two examples:

  

            1: {
                // if it is true, it will add the wall model and combine it with the pressure plate
                "submodel": "wall_n"
            },
            2: {
                "submodel": {
                    "pillar1": { "model": "wall_n" },
                    "pillar2": { "model": "wall_n", "y": 90 }
                }
            }

 

Yes, the one that has named objects does have TWO of them, but look carefully at how the first example is handled. "submodel" here is a key for a string! You made it a key for an object that then contained a string!

 

If you had done this instead: 

"north": {
    "submodel": "techmod:cablecar_track_normal"
}

Everything would have been fine.

From the grammer my JSON would have been valid. And because it is still `forge_marker: 1`, I assumed the grammar would still work

Oh your file was valid JSON, that wasn't your problem. It was that it failed to deserialize into the expected types.

      Help me with registries

      By Ugdhar · Posted

      When you name a method like that, with no return value, it is a constructor. The constructor must have the same name as the class it constructs, in this case, ModItems. I would strongly advise reading up on some basic Java tutorials, because you will definitely be running into a lot more issues as you go along without the basics. *I should also add that the Forge documentation is a reference, not a tutorial. Even following tutorials, you should know Java basics, otherwise the smallest of mistakes will trip you up as you copy someone elses code.

      so, I'm starting modding and I'm following the official documantation for forge: https://docs.minecraftforge.net, but in the registries part it is not working as it is in the docs:   public class ModItems { private static final DeferredRegister<Item> ITEMS = DeferredRegister.create(ForgeRegistries.ITEMS, DarkStarvation.MOD_ID); public static final RegistryObject<Item> TEST_ITEM = ITEMS.register("test_item", () -> new Item(new Item.Properties())); public DarkStarvation(FMLJavaModLoadingContext context) { ITEMS.register(context.getModEventBus()); } } in 'public DarkStarvation(...' the DarkStarvation has this error: Invalid method declaration; return type required and the getModEventBus(): Cannot resolve method 'getModEventBus' in 'FMLJavaModLoadingContext' please help, I asked gpt but it is saying that I'm using an old method, but I'm following the latest version of Forge Docs???

      I merged your second post with the original , there is no need to post a new thread asking for an answer. If someone sees your post and can help, they will reply. If you are seeking a quicker response, you could try asking in the Minecraft Forge diacord.

      Cobblemon modpack keeps crashing idk why

      By TileEntity · Posted

      Create a new instance and start with cobblemon - if this works, add the rest of your mods in groups   Maybe another mod is conflicting - like Sodium/Iris or Radical Cobblemon Trainers
