Hi

 

So I managed to build without module errors. In test I found the potion registered custom potion (singular) shows up as a complete set of potions in the creative inventory (on the custom item group). This is unexpected. Did I use the correct parent model?

 

Also I added a written book with text json. I seem to be unable to open it to read it. It displays as the default brown book. No open to open it, but it does destroy blocks. I changed into survival mode too but it operates more like a hammer than a readable book.

 

https://github.com/jackokring/MinecraftMod for source.

Pretty sure the "complete set" in the creative tab is expected behavior.

 

As for the book:

I don't see where you are setting its text.

As do most items in creative mode...

Offtopic: may i suggest you to organize better your mod code in different packages and classes? Right now its pretty messy, and its really small right now, but if you'll expand it and add more stuff i am 100% sure you won't be able to even remember where some things are placed or which portions of code are related to others. Just a suggestion, feel free to accept it or not 😉

 

Custom tab itemGroup, so all mod items appear, but all potions I just added a PotionItem() with the model having a CustomPotionEffects in the json. The four redstone blocks appear with no functionality yet (will do this later).

 

I'm not sure where to set it's text, it's in the item model at the moment (an assumption). Do I have to sub class WrittenBookItem? Is it possible to make it readable by using a json file or does it need code to load the book content? I managed to fix 1 more error on in achievement recipes as i had a bad item name or 2.

What. This makes zero sense. Models are 3D models, which are client files.

Written book content is NBT data. Go look at WrittenBookItem.

data/jacko/tags/items/book.json might be a suitable location for book text?

 

I assume one of those functions loads an NBT and checks for pages ... and https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Data_Pack seems to have some info but I last coded mods about minecraft 1.7.

No, that's where tags go.

Dude:

https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Written_Book#Item_data

itemP = new WrittenBookItem.Properties().group(customItemGroup);
        //.maxStackSize(BOOK_STACK_SIZE);
WrittenBookItem bookItem = new WrittenBookItem(itemP);
//the following 2 look like a read and write function pair
//bookItem.readShareTag();
//bookItem.getShareTag();
//perhaps it's bool false and a place where tags are for following 2 methods ...
//bookItem.shouldSyncTag();
//bookItem.getTags();
bookItem.setRegistryName(Jacko.MOD_ID, "book");
event.getRegistry().register(bookItem);

 

That's it for today as the "source" I've found is of the P_124141413413_?? variety.
