Hey, I'm struggling with how to make my custom item edible. I get that i probably need a new item group for food items, but I'm pretty new to modding, so could anyone walk me through on how to do this? ❤️

Here's my registry code for my foods:
 

    // Food
    public static final RegistryObject<Item> COTTON_STEAK_RAW = ITEMS.register("cotton_steak_raw", ItemBase::new);
    public static final RegistryObject<Item> COTTON_STEAK = ITEMS.register("cotton_steak", ItemBase::new);

 

I wonder how vanilla does it.

Also, Code Style #4

I've looked through the source, but I wasn't able to find any classes...

Food is a property, and Foods is a class that has foods there, sounds pretty straight forward isn't it.?

I've edited the code, it's got a bunch of errors and I'm very confused.

    // Food
    public static final RegistryObject<Item> COTTON_STEAK_RAW = ITEMS.register("cotton_steak_raw", Foods::new);
    public static final RegistryObject<Item> COTTON_STEAK = ITEMS.register("cotton_steak", Foods::new);

Create an instance of Food.Builder and build your food item with it.

I believe Food is a property, and the food itself is an item

I'm sorry, but how would I do this?

new Food.Builder(....).build()

then when instantiating your item, pass in your food instance:

new Item.Properties().food(foodinstance)

Here's what I got, still not letting me eat it:

    // Food
    public static final RegistryObject<Item> COTTON_STEAK_RAW = ITEMS.register("cotton_steak_raw", ItemBase::new);
    public static final RegistryObject<Item> COTTON_STEAK = ITEMS.register("cotton_steak", ItemBase::new);

    public static class Foods {
        public static final Food COTTON_STEAK = (new Food.Builder()).hunger(8).saturation(12.8f).meat().build();
    }

It's not letting you eat it because you haven't applied the food to the item's Item.Properties

You need to apply the Food you created to your item.

Apparently you didn't look at Items.java where things like cooked porkchop get instantiated to find out what classes were involved.

How would I do this? I'm sorry I'm asking so much, I'm fairly new to this.

new Item(new Item.Properties().food(foodInstance))

PLEASE learn basic java before you start modding, so you won't have to ask questions like these.

It's saying cannot resolve symbol 'foodInstance'. Also, where would I place this code?

    // Food
    public static final RegistryObject<Item> COTTON_STEAK_RAW = ITEMS.register("cotton_steak_raw", ItemBase::new);
    public static final RegistryObject<Item> COTTON_STEAK = ITEMS.register("cotton_steak", ItemBase::new);

    public static class Foods {
        public static final Food COTTON_STEAK = (new Food.Builder()).hunger(8).saturation(12.8f).meat().build();
        
    }
        new Item(new Item.Properties().food(foodInstance))
}

        new Item(new Item.Properties().food(foodInstance))
}

 

foodInstance is what I put as a placeholder for the instance of your food, which is for you, Foods.COTTON_STEAK.

You would put the line as such:
ITEMS.register("itemregistryname", () -> new Item(new Item.Properties().food(foodInstance)));

As I said before, please learn java before you start modding.
Edit: And please remember to swap my placeholders for your values.

Alright, here's what I got. Still some errors though, any idea what's wrong?
 

    // Food
    public static final RegistryObject<Item> COTTON_STEAK_RAW = ITEMS.register("cotton_steak_raw", ItemBase::new);
    public static final RegistryObject<Item> COTTON_STEAK = ITEMS.register("cotton_steak", () -> return new Item(new Item.Properties().food(Foods.COTTON_STEAK)));

    public static class Foods {
        public static final Food COTTON_STEAK = (new Food.Builder()).hunger(8).saturation(12.8f).meat().build();

    }

Sorry, my bad. I had a typo from before. Just remove the return

That works! Thank you so much, and sorry if I was getting annoying lol. I'd be annoyed at me too.

I would recommend watching this video its a verry nice and clear explanation of what you need to do
