Hey, I'm back

So, I tried creating a mod agian after a looong time, but Minecraft just doesn't want to run.

Here's my code (all I made so far):

package com.Egietje.ChatFilter;

import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod.EventHandler;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod.Instance;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLInitializationEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLPostInitializationEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLPreInitializationEvent;

@Mod(modid = "cf", name = "Chat Filter", version = "1.0")
public class MainMod {
	@Instance("cf")
	public static MainMod instance;

	@EventHandler
	public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event) {
	}

	@EventHandler
	public void init(FMLInitializationEvent event) {
	}

	@EventHandler
	public void postInit(FMLPostInitializationEvent event) {
	}
}

Here's the error:

[15:48:27] [main/FATAL] [FML]: There is a severe problem with cf - it appears not to have constructed correctly
[15:48:27] [main/ERROR] [FML]: Could not dispatch event: public void net.minecraftforge.fml.common.LoadController.propogateStateMessage(net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLEvent) to java.lang.NullPointerException

Can I get some help please :P?

did you add a complete mcmod.info? maybe he's missing some crucial information? (I'm guessing here too... Maybe it works with the recommended version(2611)?)

ohhh

moment, If i recall correctly the mcmod info contains package information about your mod file...

soo....

ok, sry that was wrong... but apperently you are missing a proxy... although it should work anyway... sry, I'm a bit confused today

A proxy is not required for a mod to function. I have a mod that doesn't have a proxy, and it works fine.

 

I would ask, how are you building/running the mod?

I'm just using the standard run button of Eclipse

I guess at this point explain the steps you followed to get everything setup, and make sure youi're running a java 8 JDK, and not java 9.

I just downloaded the latest Java 8 JDK, downloaded the latest forge, ran gradlew setupDecompWorkspace eclipse and that's it
