These tutorials are meant to help others learn how to mod Minecraft using Forge, as well as learn the concepts behind the code. If you don’t know any Java, please go learn some and come back! There are lots of great Java tutorials online, and trying to mod Minecraft without a good understanding of Java is very confusing.

 

Any *constructive* feedback is welcome, as I'm trying to make these tutorials as accurate as possible to the "correct" way of doing things!

 

EDIT: Please note that the website has moved! I have decided to move to GitHub Pages as my host. All of the previous tutorials have been moved over.

The purpose of this change is to make it easier for people other than myself to contribute to these tutorials, as all it takes is a simple pull request to contribute a tutorial. I am open to contributions at this time; however please make sure you know what you’re talking about and explain the concepts thoroughly. Also, please keep tutorials to Minecraft versions 1.12.2 and above. More contributing guidelines should be available on the GitHub repo soon.

Thanks for the feedback! Everything should be updated now to be a little more correct. This is why I wanted to make tutorials in the first place, because nobody ever tells new modders the correct way of doing things. They just have to figure it out for themselves, and usually they figure it out wrong. Hopefully, people will start learning things right now that I've gotten some help.

Fixed (hopefully).

 

You know, maybe you should make your own tutorials. It seems like you're the only one around here that knows what you're doing. Looking at the source of mods like Tinker's Construct and Iron Chests, even those mods are doing things like using common proxies. I feel like there needs to be somewhere where people can look to find how to do this the right way, and the official Forge documentation just doesn't tell you that much.

Yeah, there will be more eventually. I'd rather wait until 1.13 to make any new ones because of all the changes, but I might do a few more 1.12.2 tutorials because 1.13 is taking longer than I thought it would. Either way though, I'm really busy with school right now so I don't know when I'll have time to make more tutorials.

So your modding tutorial might be the only one that makes sense without over complicating things, explains everything well and uses the new registry system for 1.12. In short, thanks. It's been a big help in understanding the basics.

 

p.s. a bunch of the changes suggested by @diesieben07 also really helped.

    • just rewatched the tutorial and my code is exactly the same as kaupenjoe's.  the item is added into the game but like i said to start it doesnt have a texture or a proper name for whatever reason.
    • yes the name is en_us.json and it is in resources -> assests -> testmod -> lang folders.  i have checked my code and am pretty confident that the code itself is correct.  i even tried loading the project in eclipse and it has the same problems, I think i will just rewatch the whole tutorial and will give an update on the situation.
    • same error, I also tried removing Valkyrian skies as well because I noticed it coming up a lot in the debug log errors
    • Hey man,    i have only been modding Minecraft for a few days but maybe I can help you. First of all make sure to follow every step of Kaupenjoe's tutorial, I found it to been very helpful and complete. The game uses the raw translation key for the item (in your case "item.testmod.alexandrite") if it can't find the correct lang file. Make sure it's name is "en_us.json" and it is saved under "ressources" -> "assets" -> "testmod".
    • whenever I try to get this item to render into the game it appears with the not texture purple and black squares and calls itself by the lang translation file path instead of the name i gave it.   { "item.testmod.alexandrite": "Alexandrite" } this is the lang json file package net.Hurst.testmod.item; import net.Hurst.testmod.TestMod; import net.minecraft.world.item.Item; import net.minecraftforge.eventbus.api.IEventBus; import net.minecraftforge.registries.DeferredRegister; import net.minecraftforge.registries.ForgeRegistries; import net.minecraftforge.registries.RegistryObject; public class ModItems { public static final DeferredRegister<Item> ITEMS = DeferredRegister.create(ForgeRegistries.ITEMS, TestMod.MOD_ID); public static final RegistryObject<Item> ALEXANDRITE = ITEMS.register("alexandrite", () -> new Item(new Item.Properties())); public static void register(IEventBus eventBus){ ITEMS.register(eventBus); } } this is my ModItems.java file package net.Hurst.testmod; import com.mojang.logging.LogUtils; import net.Hurst.testmod.item.ModItems; import net.minecraft.world.item.CreativeModeTabs; import net.minecraftforge.api.distmarker.Dist; import net.minecraftforge.common.MinecraftForge; import net.minecraftforge.event.BuildCreativeModeTabContentsEvent; import net.minecraftforge.event.server.ServerStartingEvent; import net.minecraftforge.eventbus.api.IEventBus; import net.minecraftforge.eventbus.api.SubscribeEvent; import net.minecraftforge.fml.ModLoadingContext; import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod; import net.minecraftforge.fml.config.ModConfig; import net.minecraftforge.fml.event.lifecycle.FMLClientSetupEvent; import net.minecraftforge.fml.event.lifecycle.FMLCommonSetupEvent; import net.minecraftforge.fml.javafmlmod.FMLJavaModLoadingContext; import org.slf4j.Logger; // The value here should match an entry in the META-INF/mods.toml file @Mod(TestMod.MOD_ID) public class TestMod { public static final String MOD_ID = "testmod"; private static final Logger LOGGER = LogUtils.getLogger(); public TestMod() { IEventBus modEventBus = FMLJavaModLoadingContext.get().getModEventBus(); modEventBus.addListener(this::commonSetup); ModItems.register(modEventBus); MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(this); modEventBus.addListener(this::addCreative); ModLoadingContext.get().registerConfig(ModConfig.Type.COMMON, Config.SPEC); } private void commonSetup(final FMLCommonSetupEvent event) { } // Add the example block item to the building blocks tab private void addCreative(BuildCreativeModeTabContentsEvent event) { if(event.getTabKey() == CreativeModeTabs.INGREDIENTS){ event.accept(ModItems.ALEXANDRITE); } } // You can use SubscribeEvent and let the Event Bus discover methods to call @SubscribeEvent public void onServerStarting(ServerStartingEvent event) { } // You can use EventBusSubscriber to automatically register all static methods in the class annotated with @SubscribeEvent @Mod.EventBusSubscriber(modid = MOD_ID, bus = Mod.EventBusSubscriber.Bus.MOD, value = Dist.CLIENT) public static class ClientModEvents { @SubscribeEvent public static void onClientSetup(FMLClientSetupEvent event) { } } } this is my TestMod.java file { "parent": "minecraft:item/generated", "textures": { "layer0": "testmod:item/generated" } } this is my model file for the item. I am using intellij 2025.1.2 with fdk 1.21 and java 21 I would appreciate the help.
