Eclipse Errors

[Naver789]

I just installed forge and eclipse and made a workplace for minecraft mod development.

I did everything like the the installation manual, but when I started the template project I got many errors which shouldnt be there.

I tried to reinstall forge and eclipse but it didnt change the problem.

 

 

Can someone explain me what I did wrong?

What tutorial are you following?

Press Ctrl + Shift + O.

 

Your class name is

public class ExampleMod

, but why is your file name Main? Class name and file name should match.

Block amethystOre = new ModBlock(Material.rock, "amethystOre");

private class ModBlock extends Block

Why are you declaring everything in your mod class?

I use multiple tutorials because sometimes even a tutorail is wrong, so i can double check that.

I also used the "Readme" file form forge, that was of course the most important manual. I did everything from that manual.

 

I tried also this command "gradlew --refresh-dependencies"

Almost every tutorial you'll find is bad and/or outdated.

I recommend tossing the whole thing out and following Cadiboo's tutorials: https://cadiboo.github.io/tutorials/

I just followed a tutorial, I thought that could be right. I changed it to a minimum code. Still errors.

The needed packages are imported --> Press Ctrl + Shift + O dosnt change anything.

 

Could the eroor relate to the "mcmod.info" file, i dont have that. Just a folder called "META-INF" with the file "mods.toml"?

You should write Reference.MODID and Reference.NAME, not Main.MODID and Main.NAME.

mcmod.info changed to mods.toml.

Also add 

  Reveal hidden contents

	@EventHandler
	public static void PreInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event) {
      
	}

	@EventHandler
	public static void Init(FMLInitializationEvent event) {
      
	}

	@EventHandler
	public static void PostInit(FMLPostInitializationEvent event) {
      
	}

 

, you'll need these when adding items and blocks, etc.

Actually, that depends on personal preference.

There are no mandatory practice needed for stuff like where to put constants.

 

In addition, preinit, init, and postinit are not necessary; there is no reason to add them unless you need them (which is not "when adding items and blocks").

because there was Reference class in the util package.

Others are Right.
