[1.12.2] Blockstate file not found

[fieldbox]

I've returned to modding after creating a few mods (for myself) for 1.7.10. Now, when the ModelLoader loads my block, it simply throws a FileNotFoundException and continues with the game! I don't have any experience with MC 1.8 onwards, though. Here's the error log:

Never use ItemModelMesher

 

Please post your code

 

"assets/testmod:blockstates/testblock.json"

Why is assets prepended? is it part of your mod id???

the assets part should not be part of your ResourceLocation, a proper ResourceLocation would look like this "MOD_ID:PATH". assets and any other directories would be automatically prepended to your ResourceLocation, depending on the context

Ok, this is my util with the registering events:

 

 

@Mod.EventBusSubscriber(modid=MyMod.MODID)
public class RegUtil {
    @SubscribeEvent
    public static void registerBlocks(final RegistryEvent.Register<Block> event) {
        event.getRegistry().register(Blocks.testBlock);
    }

    @SubscribeEvent
    public static void registerItems(final RegistryEvent.Register<Item> event) {

    }

    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public static void initClient(ItemModelMesher mesher) {
        Item item = Item.getItemFromBlock(Blocks.testBlock);
        ModelResourceLocation model = new ModelResourceLocation("testmod:" + "TestBlock", "inventory");
        ModelLoader.registerItemVariants(item, model);
        mesher.register(item, 0, model);
    }
}

(the initClient method is called in my ClientProxy)

 

This is my blocks class:

 

 

public class Blocks {
    public static final Block testBlock = new TestBlock("TestBlock", Material.ROCK, CreativeTabs.BUILDING_BLOCKS, 5F, 15F);
}

 

And I'm sure that's all you need.

The assets thing started showing up when I actually created the assets folder, then it started showing up in my FileNotFoundExceptions.

theres quite a few things wrong with your code, Im short on sleep so sorry for being blunt.

1) Proxies are for making sure that code is run only on one side. A common proxy doesn't make sense

2) ModelLoader has to be called in PreInit OR its Registry Event.

3) switch to using Registry Events instead of your initClient (why is it in your event subscriber class if it doesn't subscribe to anything?), as they allow for greater control over everything, knowing your code will be called at the right time, and many other important things.

4) the "assets" being prepended hints to me that something is not right with your file tree.

The reason why I did all this is because I was following this tutorial for 1.11 that I tried to update myself. The reason why it's in init and not preInit is because the ItemModelMesher is loaded in the init instead (i believe). I'll probably use the registry events like you said. I'm not sure what the assets thing could mean.

Try deleting then recreating your resources directory. DON'T JUST PASTE your files back in, recreate every file & folder from scratch, or copy minecraft's version inside and delete everything you don't need.

 

I had an issue where I had some very small problem with my lang file and had to do this

[Cadiboo]

Also a GitHub link is very helpful if you have one, it allows you and us to see errors that might jump out at you on another platform

[fieldbox]

Ok, I'll try and make a GitHub repo after I do the resources thing and also replace the ItemModelMesher with ModelLoader.

[fieldbox]

Right, I rebuilt my resources folder and now it thinks that assets is the modid. I think that's my problem.

Can you post your main mod class?

FIXED IT. IntelliJ's refactor system replaced testmod with assets.

Now it's saying that it can't find the model file and puts minecraft: prepended.

setRegistryName(name);

 

setRegistryName(new ResourceLocation(Reference.MODID, name));

Ok, the minecraft: thing was actually due to an error in my blockstate json. But, my block isn't in the game!

Can you use /setblock to place it?

If so, Are you registering an ItemBlock for your block?

[fieldbox]

Yep, I can use /setblock. I forgot to register the ItemBlock though.

I tried registering Item.getItemFromBlock(Blocks.testBlock) as an item but it's still not working...

Yes, I can use /setblock.

[Cadiboo]

please show your itemBlock registration code (and any creative tab registration code if you have it)

It's simply just this:

@SubscribeEvent
public static void registerItems(final RegistryEvent.Register<Item> event) {
    event.getRegistry().register(Item.getItemFromBlock(Blocks.testBlock));
}
