gradle runClient task fails, sounds.json related error

[Tryhard]

So, i am currently trying to get myself started in the world of minecraft modding. To do so, i am following this modding tutorial on youtube -> www.youtube.com /  watch?v=YRCtFeECB8M

I do have java knowledge, so i thought creating a mod for minecraft wouldn't be all that difficult... oh boy was i wrong.... anyway, so fa i've managed to setup my workspace, and run my client ONCE.

 

The first time i tried to run gradle runClient, it crashed, by following the crash report, i understood that i had used an invalid MOD_ID, changed it, tried again, and it worked, all good. After that i continued with the tutorial, then, after a while i tried to run the command again. This time it failed, just like the first time, i head over to the crash reports folder, to check it out. This time around though, i am completely unable to understand the error.... well, i do understand that i have an invalid character around the "namespace of sounds.json".. a file that i haven't even created yet... and it didn't complain the first time i run the command.

 

Anyway, this  is the crash report:

I am new here, and i don't really know how to properly attach code on this post, so i'm just uploading the files. The main class of the mod, the itemList and a class i named Reference, which simply contains the basic configuration of the mod, if you need anything else, just let me know.

 

PLS help this thing is reeeally getting me on my nerves

Stop following that tutorial and follow one that actually teaches you stuff instead of just telling you "Do what I do".

I recommend this one by Cadiboo

Yes, i completely agree with the "do what i do" thing. You see, this is about the only half good tutorial i could find, of version 1.13 / 14. I am definitely checking out this other tutorial you posted, thank you. But anyway, back to my issue, by looking at the crash report, do you know what could be wrong here?

[DaemonUmbra]

I know exactly what's wrong

and from Cadiboo's tutorial:

  Quote

A Mod Id is a unique identifier for your mod. It must be between 8 and 64 characters and be made up of only lowercase alphanumeric letters (a-z and 0-9), dashes (-) and underscores (_).

Expand  

 

[Tryhard]

Yes about that line... i don't think it is complaining about the mod id, is it? i mean, my mod id is unique, and all in lower case "testmodd".

I mean, yes, i got it wrong the first time, but as i stated on my original post, i changed it.

 

But now, i find that line quite confusing

It confuses me because that file, the sounds.json i havent event created it, and if it already exists, i haven't modified it at all. And also, it seems like the "incorrect" character is in the namespace TestMod, which i also don't understand hahah

 

[DaemonUmbra]

Could you post your mod as a GitHub repo?

[Tryhard]

Been trying to upload it as a repo, but it won't allow me to upload anything heavier than 25mb, the project folder is currently about 50mb.

[Tryhard]

Oh, and i've been looking at the tutorial you mentioned, and, is the build.gradle configuration completely necessary? 

[Tryhard]

I managed to upload it, here's the link.

[Tryhard]

yeah i guess it isn't  sorry for that haha, never actually used it before, i only wanted to put it all there for you to see

[Tryhard]

I've given up on that first try, mess of a mod. This afternoon i started over, following Cabidoodev's tutorial. Everything went okay but, his tutorial is not finished is it?

 

I got to "first item" section.
