From your code it looks like you need to import String from java.lang. If you don’t know Java, you need to learn it before starting Modding. Even spending half an hour reading about it should be enough to get you started. Forge modding is very complex due to a number of reasons, and a firm grasp of Java is absolutely essential to doing anything with Forge

Classes in java.lang are implicitly imported.

 

@urlordjames Sounds like your JDK is not set properly in File > Project Structure.

Thanks a lot!  I reinstalled JDK again and it worked for some reason.  Perhaps the install has corrupt?
