Hello.

 

So it seems that Forge has decided that it can't the texture for my custom block. My best guess is that it's searching in the wrong place, but the code I'm using I got from this video, and it worked fine for him.

Can you post your json files for the block?

Are you sure the png is named correctly?

Yeah, did you see the link for the screenshot I posted?

Sorry, I missed that.

 

I'm honestly not sure, but you might be accessing the wrong resources path:

Spoiler

mod davesmod resources at C:\Users\David\Desktop\Minecraft Modding\Dave's Mod\bin

The textures are located in the source folder, why would it be looking in the bin? It works fine when I put textures for items in the source folder, just not block textures. Here's the location of where I put the block textures:

C:\Users\David\Desktop\Minecraft Modding\Dave's Mod\src\main\resources\assets\davesmod\textures\blocks

 

EDIT: Oh, when I put textures in the folder that I just referenced, it also copied them to:

C:\Users\David\Desktop\Minecraft Modding\Dave's Mod\bin\assets\davesmod\textures\blocks

 

I didn't realize that it did that, but now it makes even less sense, as the textures should indeed be where it is looking.

Problem solved, the texture that I was using originally had the gif extension, but I erased that and put .png at the end of it, but apparently, that didn't actually convert it to png, even though a pop-up window asked me if I was sure that I wanted to change the extension.

Just because you put a label saying "apples" on a box of peaches it does not magically convert the contained peaches into apples.

Changing the extension usually works. For example, changing the extension of a text file from txt to rtf changes it to a rich text document automatically for me, and asks me if I'm sure I want to change the extension before it does so. Something similar happened when I tried to change the extension of my texture from gif to png, as it asked me if I was sure and changed the extension in the name to .png, but unknownst to me, it was still a gif image in the background. It wasn't like I was just changing the file's name from somegifimage to somepngimage, I was under the impression that Windows was going to auto convert to for me, given that it warned me and I've converted files in that same manner previously.

Well, yes, because every valid text document is also a valid rtf document. No conversion is taking place.

Changing the extension of a file does not convert it.

Ah, I see. I don't know anything about extensions, but the data for png and gif must be stored in different formats.

...yes that's why they're different. GIF is a 256 color indexed pallet, pngs are loss-lessly compressed. It's why they're called image formats.

 

It'd be like converting a txt file to a zip file and then complaining that you can't unzip it. Or a zip to a txt and getting gibberish and wondering why.

Yes that. That's what I meant.
