I am wondering where (for testing purposes at this moment) the block/item texture/icon location is. Right now I have the custom item images located at "\forge\mcp\jars\mods\%modname%\textures\items\%itemname%.png" and blocks in the same location but "..\blocks\%blockname%.png" but neither are loading and am receiving a "Missing Texture" texture in-game when ran from Eclipse IDE.

 

A generic example Item class I have.

package mod.ModName;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.LanguageRegistry;
import net.minecraft.client.renderer.texture.IconRegister;
import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
import net.minecraft.util.Icon;

public class ItemName extends Item {
public ItemName(int id) {
	super(id);
	this.setMaxStackSize(1);
	this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabMisc);
	this.setUnlocalizedName("ModNameItemName");
	LanguageRegistry.addName(this, "ItemName");
}

public void updateIcons(IconRegister par1IconRegister) {
	this.iconIndex = par1IconRegister.registerIcon("ModName:ItemName");
}
}

 

With that, I would expect the icon file to be located at "\forge\mcp\jars\mods\ModName\textures\items\ItemName.png"

 

I have followed the basic tutorials on the wiki, and have searched the forums for 1.5+ related questions, what I have found has led me to this point. The wiki tutorial on textures is outdated and was the original stopping point for me since it wasn't working then.

You placed the files to right folder, but You have to override

updateIcons function.

 

I do mine like so:

 

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
@Override
public void updateIcons(IconRegister iconRegister)//updateIcons
{
    iconIndex = iconRegister.registerIcon(SenitielsSpaceMarineMod.ModId+":"+name);
}

 

Where ModId is the name I put in the @Mod attribute in the main class.

 

Remember to put " : " between mod id and item name. Also note, that unlocalizedName has "item_" before what You have assigned (or "tile_" in case of blocks).

Well, upon doing what was said and some other directory locations (found by searching the forge folder for a "mods" folder) and attempting those locations (see below) I am still receiving a missing textures texture but I have found a warning in the console output saying the file cannot be found and what it was looking for. Following that, I made sure the folder names were properly named according to what it said it couldnt find, and it failed again. So i tried other directories, each time it failing. Just to mention, I am using forge 608 at this time.

 

2013-03-25 12:08:33 [WARNING] [Minecraft-Client] TextureManager.createTexture called for file mods/ModName/textures/items/ItemName.png, but that file does not exist. Ignoring.

 

Current Item Example

package mod.ModName;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.LanguageRegistry;
import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.*;
import net.minecraft.client.renderer.texture.IconRegister;
import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
import net.minecraft.util.Icon;

public class ItemName extends Item {
public ItemName(int id) {
	super(id);
	this.setMaxStackSize(1);
	this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabMisc);
	this.setUnlocalizedName("ModNameItemName");
	LanguageRegistry.addName(this, "ItemName");
}

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
@Override
public void updateIcons(IconRegister par1IconRegister) {
	this.iconIndex = par1IconRegister.registerIcon("ModName:ItemName");
}
}

 

Locations I've Tried putting the folder scheme (\ModName\textures\items\ItemName.png) into (all with failure)

\forge\fml\bin\mods
\forge\fml\client\mods
\forge\fml\common\mods
\forge\mcp\bin\minecraft\mods
\forge\mcp\eclipse\Minecraft\bin\mods
\forge\mcp\mods
\forge\mcp\src\minecraft\mods
\forge\mcp\temp\bin\minecraft\mods
\forge\mcp\temp\cls\minecraft\mods
\forge\mcp\temp\src\minecraft\mods

I think You didn't understand me correctly. But then, maybe I should have been more specific.

 

put this

 

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
@Override
public void updateIcons(IconRegister iconRegister)//updateIcons
{
    iconIndex = iconRegister.registerIcon("ModName"+":"+"ItemName");
}

 

into Your ItemName class, and make all of Your items derive from it.

 

Forge has a feature, that if you call iconRegister.registerIcon(modname+":"+itemname) minecraft will search for the file in

 

"mcp/src/mods/modname/textures/items/itemname.png"

 

 

or, in case of blocks:

 

iconRegister.registerIcon(modname+":"+blockname)

 

"mcp/src/mods/modname/textures/blocks/blockname.png"

 

Code checks itself, if the texture is in blocks or items folder.

 

Does this solve Your problem?

So if i understand you right I put for example if the mod is called MagicCola and the Item is called Cola :  @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

@Override

public void updateIcons(IconRegister iconRegister)//updateIcons

{

    iconIndex = iconRegister.registerIcon("MagicCola"+":"+"Cola");

}

is that right?

And if that code is right then i put it in the class ItemCola.java?

Yes Barney, that's how it works as of the newest versions of Forge for 1.5 and beyond since Minecraft 1.5 updated how textures are handled

2013-03-28 11:20:13 [WARNING] [Minecraft-Client] TextureManager.createTexture called for file textures/items/item_*modid**itemname*, but that file does not exist. Ignoring.

That is my error, please help. I have tried the texture in %mcp%/src/minecraft/mods/*modid*/textures/items/item_momeatSeasonedBeef.png

%mcp%/src/minecraft/*modid*/textures/items/item_momeatSeasonedBeef.png

%mcp%/src/minecraft/textures/items/item_momeatSeasonedBeef.png

and it still doesn't work. My code is:

package cookie.mods.momeat.items;

import cookie.mods.momeat.CommonProxy;
import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.Side;
import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.SideOnly;
import net.minecraft.client.renderer.texture.IconRegister;
import net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemFood;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
import net.minecraft.world.World;
import cookie.mods.momeat.MoMeat;

public class ItemSeasonedBeef extends ItemFood {

public ItemSeasonedBeef(int par1, int par2, boolean par3) {
	super(par1, par2, par3);
	setAlwaysEdible();
}

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
@Override
public void updateIcons(IconRegister iconRegister) {
	iconIndex = iconRegister.registerIcon("momeat" + ":" + this.getUnlocalizedName());
}

}

and I just get a square with "missing texture missing texture" written on it.

Textures go in:

 

/mcp/src/minecraft/mods/%MODNAME%/textures/%TYPE%/%FILENAME%.png

 

Where %MODNAME% and %FILENAME% are specified in the call to iconRegister.registerIcon(...)

 

e.g. for an item,

iconRegister.registerIcon("MyMod:MyItem")

 

will look for a texture at:

/mcp/src/minecraft/mods/MyMod/textures/items/MyItem.png

 

for a block, it will look in ...textures/blocks/ instead of ...textures/items/

Textures go in:

 

/mcp/src/minecraft/mods/%MODNAME%/textures/%TYPE%/%FILENAME%.png

 

Where %MODNAME% and %FILENAME% are specified in the call to iconRegister.registerIcon(...)

 

e.g. for an item,

iconRegister.registerIcon("MyMod:MyItem")

 

will look for a texture at:

/mcp/src/minecraft/mods/MyMod/textures/items/MyItem.png

 

for a block, it will look in ...textures/blocks/ instead of ...textures/items/

 

 

He's right, this is what I use and it works perfectly. In the .class fine your using for the item/items you place

@Override

public void updateIcons(IconRegister iconRegister)

{

iconIndex = iconRegister.registerIcon("mps:energyCore");

        }

 

Where mps is the mod name and energyCore is the file name, so the item picture would be in MCP/src/minecraft/mods/mps/textures/items/energyCore.png

Make sure to not put .png at the end of the file name in Eclipse.

I did what you said, but I just got an NPE.

EDIT: Ok, I've just found out from the code that it throws that NPE when registerIcon() gets passed null, but I think I've written updateIcons() right.

@Override
@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public void updateIcons(IconRegister iconRegister) {
	iconIndex = iconRegister.registerIcon("momeat" + ":" + "SeasonedBeef");
}

Just put simply this

this.iconIndex = iconRegister.registerIcon("NameOfYourModFolder:NameOfYourItem/Block");

 

example

 

this.iconIndex = iconRegister.registerIcon("mod:superpickaxe");

.-.

I added "this." to it and I've still got the NPE. 

@Up Try using registerIcons() instead of updateIcons()

this is what got it to work for me

 

       

        @Override
@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public void registerIcons(IconRegister iconRegister) {
        this.itemIcon = iconRegister.registerIcon("modname:itemname");

Also, try putting a file system like this:

 

/mods/%MODID%/textures/(items or blocks depending)/%FILENAME%.png

 

into mcp/eclipse/bin/

 

That is where I put my textures whilst developing mods

Hey guys, I am learning to mod so I am doing my first testing mod in 1.5 (already have made one testing mod in 1.4.7) and I have the same problem with the textures (error with missing texture) and I tried everything I found on the internet and it still does not work.

 

So here is my code for my blocks and items:

 

 

For blocks:

package first.Block;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;
import net.minecraft.client.renderer.texture.IconRegister;
import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.Side;
import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.SideOnly;

public class ModBlock extends Block {

    private String location;

    public ModBlock(int id, Material material, String location) {
        super(id, material);

        this.location = location;

    }

    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public void registerIcons(IconRegister par1iconRegister) {
        this.blockIcon = par1iconRegister.registerIcon("first:" + location);

    }

}

And for Items:

package first.Item;

import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.Side;
import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.SideOnly;
import net.minecraft.client.renderer.texture.IconRegister;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;

public class ModItem extends Item{
    
    private String location;

    public ModItem(int par1, String location) {
        super(par1);
        this.location = location;
    }
    
    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    @Override
    public void registerIcons(IconRegister par1IconRegister){
        this.itemIcon = par1IconRegister.registerIcon("first:" + location);
    }


}

 

 

And I have the textures at:

mcp\src\minecraft\mods\first\textures\blocks\

mcp\src\minecraft\mods\first\textures\items\

 

and I am sure that the names are correct.

 

Please help, I am really stuck on that

And for the tenth time...

 

And for the tenth time...

 

 

Oh... Everyone said it should be in src\minecraft\mods\... but its probably different for me because I have the workbench setted up like Pahimar. So thank you very much! It works now

So Enkey, what did you end up putting the textures in if you are set up like pahimar
