Coding mod for the first time and can't figure out what this means

[RandomUser]

So I just started coding a mod and I started coding items. 
It says can't resolve symbol for mod name even tho i have already put this on the main class 

private static final String MOD_ID = "newmod";

 

public static final DeferredRegister<Item> Items = new DeferredRegister<>(ForgeRegistries.ITEMS, newmod.MOD_ID);

yea idk whats going on

[RandomUser]

actually i got the mod id to work is just now MOD_ID is not being reconised

 

[RandomUser]

actually nvm i found the problem

[RandomUser]

What does this mean?

C:\Users\Kevin\Desktop\Mods\TechExpansions\src\main\java\com\kevin\techexpansions\util\RegistryHandler.java:20: error: <T>DeferredRegister(IForgeRegistry<T>,String) has private access in DeferredRegister
    public static final DeferredRegister<Item> ITEMS = new DeferredRegister<>(ForgeRegistries.ITEMS, TechExpansions.MOD_ID);
                                                       ^
  where T is a type-variable:
    T extends IForgeRegistryEntry<T> declared in class DeferredRegister

public static final DeferredRegister<Item> ITEMS = new DeferredRegister<>(ForgeRegistries.ITEMS, TechExpansions.MOD_ID);

 

private static final Logger LOGGER = LogManager.getLogger();

that is the connected problem code

The constructor of DeferredRegister is private.

Use DeferredRegister.create()

Learn Java before modding, do not learn Java by modding.

o i learned Javascript and i thought it was the same as java @DaemonUmbra

So i thought i could try coding a mod

JavaScript and Java are nothing alike.

Their only similarity is both were named by people who wanted to invoke the image of coffee with the name of their language.

This isn't even true either. Sun named Java "Java" because reasons (which were probably coffee related) and then spent a few million dollars marketing it.

JavaScript on the other hand was being developed independently, saw the huge advertising Sun was doing for Java and said, "We need to name it Java-something so that we can piggy back off their advertising."

And even more so, most developers don't even call Javascript -- well javascript. It is known as ECMAscript 6 or ES6 (Newest Version). Javascript was made by a consortium and is maintained by such. But know they are most definitely the same thing. And ES6 is not a programming language, it is a client side UI interaction language in the same sense that SQL is not a programming language. It does not program, it modifies the user environment based on limited interactions. Frameworks are coming out that are getting it closer to acting like a programming language.

This is a whole load of BS.

Nobody (well, not nobody...) calls it ECMAscript. You write stuff in JavaScript.

And JavaScript (or "ES6") is very much a programming language.

I did not mean this as a "Keyboard Courage" attack on any one. I am currently a full stack .net dev by profession. I use ES6 or JS quite frequently and do not consider it a 'lower' language. I was just pointing out differences to the argument. But as language classification goes, it is under the same category as HTML, CSS, SQL none of which are 'Programming' languages but that I no way means that it is inferior. In its name, says what it is. It is a scripting language not a programming language. Programming languages must be compiled to binary prior to deployment, Java, C , C++, VB, C#, LUA, python are programming languages.  And yes python can run natively in a CLI, but it is still compiled by the python IDLE. I enjoy JavaScript and use it a lot. I just wanted to educate so that new dev's can form a correct distinction and don't look like fools on job interviews by saying, "I program in JavaScript". "But what about Node.js, they program with that" Yes, but like I said, it is a framework creating the environment allowing it to happen and saying "I program in Node.js" is a valid statement.. JavaScript by its self is a scripting language. Again, meant no offense, just wanted to add clarification and in no way was it an attempt to degrade or demean an individual or group.
