I want to create a spear for my mod, Mo Tools, and I was wondering how to create an ItemSpear.class to save myself the time of declaring all the properties individually in my IitemWoodenSpear.class, ItemStoneSpear.class etc..

 

Can anyone give me a hand?

Each item type can get it's own instance you could do something like

public class Spear extends Item{
public final int damage;
public Spear(int id, int dmg){
damage = dmg
}
}

and then set the values on init

Item spearWood = new ItemSpear(woodSpearID, 2);
Item spearDiamond = new ItemSpear(diamSpearID, ;

Item spearWood = new ItemSpear(woodSpearID, 2);
Item spearDiamond = new ItemSpear(diamSpearID, ;

 

So...

 

public class ItemSpear extends Item{
public final int damage;
public ItemSpear(int id, int dmg){
damage = dmg
}
}

 

is my ItemSpear.class, yes?

I'm probably going to sound like a complete idiot here but; How, then, do I add textures to the individual spears?

well you will need to set the unlocalized name per item, and you can use that to access the file, if the file is directly related to the unlocalized name, otherwise you could create an if statement or add it to your constructor(not recommended due to side differences)

 

so something like

//pseudo code
public void registerIcon(IconRegister i){
//if using unlocalized
i.registerIcon("yourmod:" + getUnlocalizedName());
//item id switch
switch(itemID){
case(woodSpearID):
i.registerIcon("yourmod:wooden spear";
break;
case(diamondSpearID):
i.registerIcon("yourmod:diamond spear";
break;
default:
break
}

}

}

 

And that would go in my load event?

Sorry for all the questions, forge modding isn't my strong point.

Icon registry happens in the ItemSpear.class so it goes there
