Block has texture, but the item doesn't

[MrInfinity]

Hello,

I am using IntelliJ idea to create a mod, and I'm trying to make a block, but when I load into the game, I can place it, and the placed block will have texture, but the item in my hand doesn't. I checked my directory, so I can't figure out why it's not working. Here it is, in case I missed something:

First, what tutorial are you following? If it had you make ItemBase it's no good.

[MrInfinity]

I'm using TechnoVision's tutorial:

 

[DaemonUmbra]

Delete ItemBase, its only use is enabling laziness at the cost of flexibility and sometimes compatibility with other features

[MrInfinity]

Then where do I put the code in it

 

[DaemonUmbra]

What code did he have you put in there?

[MrInfinity]

[DaemonUmbra]

Do you know Java?

[MrInfinity]

Well I'm following the tutorial to make my own mod, and it's my first time, so not really

[DaemonUmbra]

Learn Java before you mod.

Modding Minecraft is a HORRIBLE way to learn Java and tutorials like this won't teach you anything if you're just mimicking what they do.

I'm not really interested in learning how it works, just making a mod. Another thing is that in his video, it worked.

[DaemonUmbra]

If you don't learn how it works how do you expect to make a mod that's yours and not a complete ripoff of someone else's?

I got it to work by renaming blocks in textures to block, which I figured out when looking at the directories to the texture

Lol =)) The way you talk you already know he doesn't know about the best practices, so you should provide some help other than command and back-asking like this.

Agree that people here are lazy and not willing to learn, for example they just want to make a simple mod and not to learn a whole language for it, just having a little logic will be fine.

 

So do you think Delete ItemBase is a good answer really? Ok I have deleted it, and what happen next?

If you can't help them probably, just don't say anything!

I love the irony here where you piped up solely to rip into me and not at all to help. Take your own advice why don't you?
