I'm making a mod that adds decorations and I can't seem to get the textures working. When I hold the item I in my hand it shows up as a black and purple square in the middle of my screen with "vmm:LH_new#inventory" in front.

Here is my code:

Common Proxy:

Spoiler

package bomb787.vmm.proxy;

import net.minecraft.item.Item;

public class CommonProxy {
    
    public void registerItemRenderer(Item item, int meta, String id) {
        
    }

}

Client Proxy:

Spoiler

package bomb787.vmm.proxy;

import net.minecraft.client.renderer.block.model.ModelResourceLocation;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraftforge.client.model.ModelLoader;

public class ClientProxy extends CommonProxy {
    
    public void registerItemRenderer(Item item, int meta, String id) {
        
        ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation(item, meta, new ModelResourceLocation(item.getRegistryName(), id));
        
    }

}

RegistryHandler:

Spoiler

package bomb787.vmm.util.handlers;

import bomb787.vmm.init.ItemInit;
import bomb787.vmm.util.IHasModel;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraftforge.client.event.ModelRegistryEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.event.RegistryEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod.EventBusSubscriber;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.eventhandler.SubscribeEvent;

@EventBusSubscriber
public class RegistryHandler {
    
    @SubscribeEvent
    public static void onItemRegister(RegistryEvent.Register<Item> event) {
        
        event.getRegistry().registerAll(ItemInit.ITEMS.toArray(new Item[0]));
        
    }
    
    @SubscribeEvent
    public static void onModelRegister(ModelRegistryEvent event) {
        
        for(Item item : ItemInit.ITEMS) {
            
            if(item instanceof IHasModel) {
                
                ((IHasModel)item).registerModels();
                
            }
            
        }
        
    }

}
 

 IHasModel:

Spoiler

package bomb787.vmm.util;

public interface IHasModel {
    
    public void registerModels();
    
}
 

Item Base:

Spoiler

package bomb787.vmm.items;

import bomb787.vmm.Main;
import bomb787.vmm.init.ItemInit;
import bomb787.vmm.proxy.ClientProxy;
import bomb787.vmm.util.IHasModel;
import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;

public class ItemBase extends Item implements IHasModel{
    
    public ItemBase(String name) {
        setUnlocalizedName(name);
        setRegistryName(name);
        setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.MATERIALS);
        
        ItemInit.ITEMS.add(this);
    }
    
    @Override
    public void registerModels() {
        
        Main.proxy.registerItemRenderer(this, 0, "inventory");
        
    }
}

ItemInit:

Spoiler

package bomb787.vmm.init;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import bomb787.vmm.items.ItemBase;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;

public class ItemInit {
    
    public static final List<Item> ITEMS = new ArrayList<Item>();
    
    public static final Item NewLHLogo = new ItemBase("LH_new");
    
}

 

Am I doing something wrong? I'm following this as the tutorial: 

 

Well for starters I can tell you that this tutorial is total BS if only because it claims that it works for 1.13 right there in the title... Forge for 1.13 isn't out yet. How can the author be so sure that it will work for forge that isn't out yet is beyound me. Likely it is just there as clickbait. You should never follow a coding tutorial that uses clickbait.

Common Proxy:

CommonProxy makes no sense. Proxies exist to separate sided-only code. If your code is common it goes anywhere but your proxy.

IHasModel

IHasModel is stupid. All items need models, no exception, and nothing about model registration needs access to private/protected data. Register your models directly in the ModelRegistryEvent.

Item Base

ItemBase is an antipattern. There is already ItemBase, it's called Item.

Don't ever use static initializers. Instantinate your stuff directly in the registry event.

 

Do you see why this tutorial is crap? Literally everything it told you to do is wrong and now you have to redo everything. Congratulations, this tutorial just wasted a bunch of your time!

 

As for the actual issue:

Registry names must be entirely lower-case

What would be a good tutorial for me to follow? 1.7.10 is the only version I've made a mod for.

A bit of self-promotion, but I’ve been working on a tutorialish thing for a while now. You might want to use it. You should definitely read through the README at least as it has a bunch of useful information and links to other tutorials. https://github.com/Cadiboo/Example-Mod
