Item name and texture won't work correctly [SOLVED]

[Dr.Nickenstein]

Hello guys, i'm a new little modder in Minecraft. I was trying to make a new ore, and i started creating an ingot for this ore. That's the first thing i've done in my mod. I've followed a tutorial step by step. The problem is that when i set the name and put the texture file in the item textures folder the .png file doesn't show up in Eclipse, and when i start minecraft to try to see the ore name it shows up as item.(name of the ore)_ingot.name . I'm using Eclipse to mod, the forge version is the forge-1.12.2-14.23.5.2814. Can you help me with my problems? Thank you in advance.

Sometimes you have to refresh the folders within eclipse, otherwise the files don't get recognized.

I don't use eclipse, but i think it's just a rightclick on the folder/package and there should be refresh or something.

Intelij calls it sync.

 

The name is set inside your language file, for english it should be assets/yourmodid/lang/en_US.lang,

just add item.(name of the ore)_ingot.name=Display name.

Don’t.

Have you created a language file?

Also, include your mod id in unlocalized names to prevent conflicts with other mods.

I've created an en_US.lang file, i've tried renaming it to en_us.lang but nothing changed. I'm not using other mods to test mine, so don't worry about that . Uhm and if i can ask you, why did you tell me to not follow tutorials ?

As for the name, i've checked my .lang file and everything seems to be fair,  but it won't show up as wanted. That's what's in my .lang file:

item.megatite_ingot.name=megatite ingot

I've tried to rename the en_US.lang to en_us.lang and it worked again. Do you remember when i told you that i've done it already and bla bla bla bla...? Well, i've named the display name megatite_ingot. Thanks for the help! 2/2 problems SOOOLVEEED
