I have been trying to make myself a sword that will work in a server or just normal Minecraft. I have run into many problems but I have been able to fix them. It's the same problem every time but this time I can not fix it.

 

 

Zanofite Class code

package mods.zanofite.common;
import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod.Init;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod.Item;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.event.FMLInitializationEvent;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.network.NetworkMod;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.LanguageRegistry;

@Mod(modid="Zanofite", name = "Zanofite", version = "0.0.1")
@NetworkMod(clientSideRequired = true, serverSideRequired = false)
public class Zanofite {

static Item ZanofiteItem;
int itemzanofite = 501;
static Block ZanofiteBlock;
int blockZanofiteid = 500;


@Init	 
public void load(FMLInitializationEvent event){

//Problem
ZanofiteItem = new ItemZanofite(Item()).setUnlocalizedName("Itemzanofite");


gameRegisters();
languageRegisters();
}




private static void gameRegisters(){
GameRegistry.registerItem((net.minecraft.item.Item) ZanofiteItem, "ItemZanofite");

}
private static void languageRegisters(){
LanguageRegistry.addName(ZanofiteBlock, "Zanofite Block");
}
}

 

 

And the ZanofiteItem Code

 

package mods.zanofite.common;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.LanguageRegistry;
import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.Side;
import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.SideOnly;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;
import net.minecraft.client.renderer.texture.IconRegister;
import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;
import net.minecraft.util.Icon;


public class ItemZanofite extends Item{

public ItemZanofite(int id) {
	super(id);
	this.setMaxStackSize(64);
	this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabMaterials);
	this.setUnlocalizedName("Zanofite");

}


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


}

 

 

what's the problem? I can't help if I don't know the problem.

What ender said, please explain in detail your problem and post any errors you have gotten.

They way you initialize your item's looks weird, why are you casting it to item and so on?

 

You made this:

 

static Item youritem = new YourItem(id);

 

but every block and item have to be like this:

 

public static Item youritem = new YourItem(id);

 

you forgot the public. that could be your problem^^

 

and if not i do not know what the problem could be.

sorry the line that has //Problem above it is the one i'm getting red lines under it and it's saying that i need to make it and item.....which it already is but then once i do what it says the hole class goes red.

I don't want to sound like a 12 year old but if someone could show me the code for just a basic item, no crafting or anything just the item it would be great. I hate getting angry at this and that's all that's happening at the moment.

Sorry I'm posting a doubt instead of a solution but I'm also learning and I must take this oportunity to ask a question: you don't have a constructor for your ItemZanofite that takes an Item as an argument. Is that somehow allowed in Java? Is there like an implicit constructor for a base class that takes an instance of super class as argument?

 

EDIT:You know what, I believe that's the error. I think you have to instantiate your ItemZanofite as in your constructor: by passing It's unique ID (some number you will make up that won't conflict with the other already established IDs in minecraft. I guess something like 1000 would be ok).

you're giving it Item() as it's ID which is not correct. it needs to be an integer.

okay well changing that now gives me

there are no errors now though eclipse, but when I start it I get this.
