Client won't load with the mod pack I'm working on

Hello,

 

Today, I was making some progress on a mod pack using Intellij IDEA and it came up with the following FATAL error message:

Read again. It is not talking about the path of the location.

It is talking about the namespace ("lightsaberMod"). And it is telling you exactly what is invalid about it.

oh. I see now! Thanks, diesieben07!
