modid not working (I'm sorry)

[DTRaptor]

Hi, When I put in the mod id for my mod (pplanet) it comes up with an error saying:  "Attribute value must be constant" I'm sorry, I am still learning how to mod, I am following Minecraft Forge's tutorials for modding. Please help because I am on a team and we are looking for coders, so I'm taking up the job.

?

Did you read the tutorial properly ?
 

- An Annotation has to be in front of the class.

- the @Mod Annotation Attribute "modid" has to be a string, not a class.

- why is there a .json file inside the src/main/java tree ?

Please learn java before making a mod.

1. I know, I'm sorry. I am actually the texturer of the mod, and we don't have any coders, so I'm trying to make do with what I can do.

2. I am trying to learn now.

In Java anything that is wrapped in text must be quoted to be use

In this case u should do modid = "pplanet"

Do not be afraid to use long Mod IDs. If your mod is called "Prehistoric Planet" your Mod ID should be prehistoricplanet.

or modid = "prehistoricplante"

 

When using IntelliJ, press Alt + Enter to find out errors happening on red colored underlines, usually those error occurs when the syntax of the code is wrong
