Issues with Sounds.json

[AragoniteDragon]

Hey all! I just started teaching my brother how to mod, but its my first time modding in 1.16 so I assume some things are different. I used some tutorials to update my code and it all seems fine but I've been getting an error once I added a texture along the lines of "net.minecraft.util.ResourceLocationException: Non [a-z0-9_.-] character in namespace of location: TheWorldOfShmowMod:sounds.json". I understand I'm not allowed to use certain characters in file names, but no such "Sounds.json" file exists in our mod (that we created) and I've never had an issue with this before ever. Anyone know whats up.

 

P.S. Im on windows 10 with IntelliJ if that helps

The modid shouldn’t be capitalised.

Sorry guys, but the mod id is all lower case with no spaces or banned characters... I actually have no clue why it's capitalised in the error

but heres the main class:

 

@Mod("theworldofshmowmod")
public class MainModClass
{
    // Directly reference a log4j logger.
    private static final Logger LOGGER = LogManager.getLogger();
    public static final String MOD_ID = "theworldofshmowmod";

    public MainModClass() {
        // Register the setup method for modloading
        FMLJavaModLoadingContext.get().getModEventBus().addListener(this::setup);
        // Register the enqueueIMC method for modloading
        FMLJavaModLoadingContext.get().getModEventBus().addListener(this::enqueueIMC);
        // Register the processIMC method for modloading
        FMLJavaModLoadingContext.get().getModEventBus().addListener(this::processIMC);
        // Register the doClientStuff method for modloading
        FMLJavaModLoadingContext.get().getModEventBus().addListener(this::doClientStuff);

        RegistryHandler.init();

        // Register ourselves for server and other game events we are interested in
        MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(this);
    }

    private void setup(final FMLCommonSetupEvent event)
    {
        // some preinit code
        LOGGER.info("HELLO FROM PREINIT");
        LOGGER.info("DIRT BLOCK >> {}", Blocks.DIRT.getRegistryName());
    }

    private void doClientStuff(final FMLClientSetupEvent event) {
        // do something that can only be done on the client
        LOGGER.info("Got game settings {}", event.getMinecraftSupplier().get().gameSettings);
    }

    private void enqueueIMC(final InterModEnqueueEvent event)
    {
        // some example code to dispatch IMC to another mod
        InterModComms.sendTo("examplemod", "helloworld", () -> { LOGGER.info("Hello world from the MDK"); return "Hello world";});
    }

    private void processIMC(final InterModProcessEvent event)
    {
        // some example code to receive and process InterModComms from other mods
        LOGGER.info("Got IMC {}", event.getIMCStream().
                map(m->m.getMessageSupplier().get()).
                collect(Collectors.toList()));
    }
    // You can use SubscribeEvent and let the Event Bus discover methods to call
    @SubscribeEvent
    public void onServerStarting(FMLServerStartingEvent event) {
        // do something when the server starts
        LOGGER.info("HELLO from server starting");
    }

    // You can use EventBusSubscriber to automatically subscribe events on the contained class (this is subscribing to the MOD
    // Event bus for receiving Registry Events)
    @Mod.EventBusSubscriber(bus=Mod.EventBusSubscriber.Bus.MOD)
    public static class RegistryEvents {
        @SubscribeEvent
        public static void onBlocksRegistry(final RegistryEvent.Register<Block> blockRegistryEvent) {
            // register a new block here
            LOGGER.info("HELLO from Register Block");
        }
    }
}

 

 

And heres the Registry Handler:

public class RegistryHandler {

    public static final DeferredRegister<Item> ITEMS = DeferredRegister.create(ForgeRegistries.ITEMS, "theworldofshmowmod");

    // Adds registered objects to the game.
    public static void init() {
        ITEMS.register(FMLJavaModLoadingContext.get().getModEventBus());
    }

    // Items
    public static final RegistryObject<Item> STYGIAN_INGOT = ITEMS.register("stygian_ingot", ItemBase::new);


    // Blocks



}

Does your assets/<modid> folder have the capitalized namespace?

Nope it doesn't

 

P.S. I've never used IntelliJ before this, but whenever I change the modId in the code, it doesn't change the modId in the error message???

By the way, your mods.toml file is wrong

That should be your modid.

Ditto commenting out/removing all of the optional values you left with dummy text in them.

public static final DeferredRegister<Item> ITEMS = DeferredRegister.create(ForgeRegistries.ITEMS, "theworldofshmowmod");

You should also use MainModClass.MOD_ID for this line (and other similar lines, like your @Mod annotation).

Thanks for the help! Yeah, I originally had them all using MainModClass.MOD_ID but I hard coded in the strings out of desperation hoping it would fix the issue. I changed them back now. Unfortunately, the problem still persists. Still have any ideas what could be causing the issue?

My bad

(I have show hidden files enabled)

Delete the build folder... I have a feeling the issue is Gradle asking case-blind Windows if a mixed-case old version is identical to the all-lower new one

This fixed the issue, thanks so much!
