getItemByNameOrID not working with mod items.

I'm trying to get an item using its registry name, which I'm representing as a string. This works fine with vanilla items, like minecraft:dirt, but not with modded ones like foragecraft:leek. Is there a different method I should use?

Use ForgeRegistries.ITEMS.getValue

That should work just fine.

That works. Additionally, I was trying to run this in preinit, and that was also contributing to the problem, as the items didnt exist yet. Thanks.
