[1.12.2] Block named "Ruby Block" is getting named as tile.ruby_block.name while in-game for what reason?

[SteveRaft]

So basically, the RUBY_BLOCK seen here is being named as this while in-game with this en_us file.

Code examples below:

 

package com.SteveRaft.epicvoidmodmodid1122.init;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import com.SteveRaft.epicvoidmodmodid1122.blocks.BlockBase;
import com.SteveRaft.epicvoidmodmodid1122.blocks.RubyBlock;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;

public class ModBlocks 
{
	public static final List<Block> BLOCKS = new ArrayList<Block>();
	
	public static final Block RUBY_BLOCK = new RubyBlock("ruby_block", Material.IRON);
}

 

item.ruby.name=Ruby
block.ruby_block.name=Block of Ruby

 

 

EDIT: Sorry if this code doesn't make sense, I am new to Java and making minecraft mods.

just read your own post again..

if it outputs you as name :
tile.ruby_block.name

 

then it would not be
block.ruby_block.name=Block of Ruby

 

change it to 

tile.ruby_block.name=Block of Ruby

 

and it should work


hope that helped

Do not use static initializers. Read the common issues and recommendations for more info.

You do not own the domain "steveraft.com"; therefore, you cannot use it as your package name.

 

Are you by any chance following modding tutorials on youtube? If yes, I would recommend you to stop.

Most youtube tutorials are outdated and promotes bad practices. In fact, most you tubers who do modding tutorial are new to programming and have little idea what they are doing ("just copy paste this code because it worked for me, so it will work for you").

Where'd you recommend I start? I currently follow this person's tutorials and he really goes into detail.

Yeah. That's LoreMaster.

I've made comments on his videos about the sort of crap he ends up recommending, whether intentionally or not.

No. He makes up details.

"Hmm... I don't know what this does so I'll just connect some big words together and hopefully the audience won't figure out my mistake."

 

I would recommend some text-based tutorials like https://github.com/TheGreyGhost/MinecraftByExample.
