Missing ItemBlock reference in 1.14.4

[Burt]

Hi, and thanks for reading.

 

I'm having a strange problem setting up Eclipse w/Forge 1.14.4 where I don't have any references to the net.minecraft.item.ItemBlock class.

 

Let me walk you through my setup and what I've tried so far.

 

 

My system is a standard Windows 10 64-bit Intel PC.

 

 

I have Java JDK and JRE version 1.8.0_221 installed:

 

JAVA_HOME is set to the JDK directory:

 

 

First, to start fresh I rebooted my PC, then deleted both the .gradle and .eclipse folders from my C:\Users\<myUser> directory, and also deleted my Eclipse workspace folder.

 

 

Next, I downloaded the latest 1.14.4 Forge MDK from https://files.minecraftforge.net/:

 

I unzipped it to an empty directory named "TestMod":

 

 

 

I didn't change anything in build.gradle, I left it at its "factory defaults".

 

Then, I opened a command prompt and ran "gradlew genEclipseRuns".  It took about 4 1/2 minutes to do its thing and said it was successful:

 

Then, I ran "gradlew eclipse", successfully:

 

Then, I opened Eclipse version 2019-06 (4.12.0) and selected File > Import > Existing Gradle Project:

 

 

 I set the project root directory to the TestMod folder that I've been working in:

 

I clicked Next to go the Import Options:

 

Without changing anything, I clicked Next again.  It took a couple seconds to work, then it showed this:

 

 

In ExampleMod.java, trying to import a reference to ItemBlock fails to resolve (and using CTRL-SHIFT-O to auto-create an import statement finds 0 references).

 

 

 

I then saved the file, closed Eclipse, and ran "gradlew --refresh-dependencies":

 

 

I then re-opened Eclipse, and refreshed my Gradle project:

 

 

... but no joy, the reference to ItemBlock still can't be resolved.

 

Anything obvious that I'm doing wrong?

 

Thanks!

It's called BlockItem now. ?

lol whoops.  Is that brand new in 1.14.4?  I was following a tutorial for 1.14.3 and it was still using the ItemBlock class, which is why I was so confused why mine wasn't matching up.  I looked at a bunch of changelogs for 1.14.4 releases and I didn't see anything, either.

No, I don't believe so. I was following McJty's tutorials for 1.14, and he starts in 1.14.2 with BlockItem. I'm not sure what the tutorial you're using is doing. Just a heads up though, from what I understand a lot of classes have changed names in a similar way.

Gotcha, I'll keep that in mind.  Thanks for the assist, and the quick reply.

 

FWIW, this is the tutorial I'm using:

Yeah, that's for 1.13. Also, I've not seen his stuff myself, but I've seen some moderators say that Harry Talks uses a lot of bad practices. You might want to consider checking some other tutorials. If you haven't gone through them yet, try reading through https://mcforge.readthedocs.io/en/1.13.x/. It's outdated, but the basics are the same. Something that has also helped me a lot were the aforementioned tutorials by McJty, as well as peering through vanilla code and the MC Forge GitHub, particularly the test sections (though I mostly have used Forge code for more "advanced" things).
