hi, im trying to port a mod named cacti (categorical creative inventory) https://minecraft.curseforge.com/projects/cacti-categorical-creative-inventory from 1.10.2 to 1.12.2 because the developer has seemingly gone inactive and its very useful.

ive very little to no experience with modding or java code in general to be honest so ive been following this guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buQUGhM_ufc

guy claims that its pretty easy to port, i mean it seemed simpleish enough, lots of trial and error in eclipse to see what causes errors and what doesnt. when i finally got all the fields and methods etc to be the ones used in 1.12, unfortunately it just doesnt work. though it does compile and forge loads it., but unfortunately nothing happens when the creative inventory is opened.

im not entirely sure if i can even post the code here to see what im doing wrong, though heres cacti.java https://pastebin.com/biYDjz2j

 

heres my attempt:

https://github.com/xemnes/Cacti-1.12/tree/1.12.2

 

heres the original source

https://github.com/pau101/Cacti

 

if anyone can help me out with this rather grueling task, it would be greatly appreciated.

To be honest, that video isn't really good (from a quick glance; correct me if I'm wrong). I've never really mod for multiple versions of Minecraft (other than 1.12.2 and 1.13.2), but my common sense tells me that there is more to porting than just changing field and method names. Were I you, I wouldn't follow that video.

 

As for your mod, could you please post a GitHub repo of the mod you are working on so others could take a look at it and assist you in fixing your problem?

Some tips:

Modder Support:

1. Do not follow tutorials on YouTube, especially TechnoVision (previously called Loremaster) and HarryTalks, due to their promotion of bad practice and usage of outdated code.

2. Always post your code.

3. Never copy and paste code. You won't learn anything from doing that.

4.

Programming via Eclipse's hotfixes will get you nowhere

5. Learn to use your IDE, especially the debugger.

The "picture that's worth 1000 words" only works if there's an obvious problem or a freehand red circle around it.

Support & Bug Reports:

Spoiler

1. Read the EAQ before asking for help. Remember to provide the appropriate log(s).

2. Versions below 1.11 are no longer supported due to their age. Update to a modern version of Minecraft to receive support.
