[1.14.2] @Mod wants "Value"

[HyenaTheCat]

I started work on a mod but almost immediately i ran into a wall.

 

When trying to fill in "@Mod" it wanted me to define the attribute "Value", it wont accept any of the expected values such as modid or version

I  have made sure that I'm importing the right class, I took a quick look at the Mod.Class but my lack of experience with java hinders from making too much sense from it,

Anyone ran into a similar problem before?

What do you mean by it not accepting any of the values? Posting the code might help.

 

You should give it your mod ID as a String, and should match your mod ID that you've put in META-INF/mods.toml. If you haven't filled out this file yet, or there's a mismatch, this could be the problem.

Here's a screencap of the code and error, its as bare bones as it can possibly get,

I have changed the TOML file to match the modid

You don't need the "modid = " part, this is why you're getting the second error on that line (you haven't defined the variable modid). You can simply use @Mod("bravenewworldmodid"), or better yet, do something like

@Mod(Main.MOD_ID)
public class Main {
  public static final String MOD_ID = "bravenewworldmodid";
  // rest of your code
}

which lets you use that variable whenever you need the mod ID.

Hey, that fixed it, thanks!

Nope. It's not about the variables.

It's about trying to assign an attribute that doesn't exist to the annotation.

All variable names in annotations have names and need to be specified by “@Blah(variable=value)”. However, there is default variable that can be used (called “value”). This variable name allows you to omit doing “@Blah(value=yourValue)” and to just use “@Blah(yourValue)”
