Create Shovel Item

[Koque]

Hey,

I'm trying to write some forge mods. I have experience with the Spigot API, but due , at my opinion, the bad documentation and tutorials, I have some problems.

I started with the tutorial by tcode2k16 and the forge documentation.

 

Now I want to create an Custom Shovel having the same stats like the iron shovel, just with other texture, name and recipe.

 

At first, I tried the following, but this didn't work, because I don't know which arguments are missing:

public static final RegistryObject<Item> MY_SHOVEL = ITEMS.register("my_shovel", () ->

            new ShovelItem(new Item.Properties().group(ItemGroup.TOOLS).addToolType(ToolType.SHOVEL, 2))

            );

 

I searched a lot, but didn't find anything beginner friendly helping me (my english  is not the best too  ).

 

I would appreciate it, if someone could help with this problem or link some guides or a detailed documentation being up to date!

You're missing an IItemTier, float attackDamage and a float attackSpeed, all of these things are basic Java and you do not need to ask about them. Please look at the constructor, unless you're blind it has everything you need, your IDE should even give you a warning and tell you what you didn't put into the constructor. In short, please learn basic Java before modding.

What exactly happened?

You can find all possible methods at net.minecraft.item.Item, in Properties inner class. Just looking through them bring me idea, that you need to specify maxStackSize or defaultMaxDamage.

Anyway, describe your problem

I used Java over a year ago, but changed to Python, in addition  due to better Gradle support I changed from NetBeans to IntelliJ, so my Java knowledge is at the time only bit more than the basics.

The IDE tells me, there are 3 arguments missing, but nothing more. I couldn't find the Java Docs of the Forge API.

So.... go open the class definition for the class you're trying to instantiate.

Thank you for the tip, didn't know this is possible!

 

The thread is now closed for me.
