I would like to use some of the models from one of my mods as the base for another mod. I know that you can specify the location of existing resources in the build.gradle. Is there a way to add a mod dependency as one of those existing resource locations? I would assume you would do that in the data section of the build.gradle?

Use the latest version of forge for 1.16.4. You can add an argument called --existing-mod in which you specify the modid of the resources you would like to grab from. This is only for generating the data however. If you want to use the models directly, your mod would be a hard dependency on the other mod.

That worked great! Is there a place where I can learn about all of these different tags and stuff for ForgeGradle? I seem to be getting to a point where I need to understand how it works better.

ForgeGradle 3 is not really documented in a lot of places. Many of the methods are passed by word-of-mouth and the rest is just plain old Gradle. The only reason I was aware of --existing-mod because I remember when that issue first happened when Forge decided to make TagsProvider rely on it. From there, I paid attention to the PR pup put out on fixing it and waited for it to be merged. Best I can say is ask many questions and pay attention to PRs.

      When you name a method like that, with no return value, it is a constructor. The constructor must have the same name as the class it constructs, in this case, ModItems. I would strongly advise reading up on some basic Java tutorials, because you will definitely be running into a lot more issues as you go along without the basics. *I should also add that the Forge documentation is a reference, not a tutorial. Even following tutorials, you should know Java basics, otherwise the smallest of mistakes will trip you up as you copy someone elses code.

      so, I'm starting modding and I'm following the official documantation for forge: https://docs.minecraftforge.net, but in the registries part it is not working as it is in the docs:   public class ModItems { private static final DeferredRegister<Item> ITEMS = DeferredRegister.create(ForgeRegistries.ITEMS, DarkStarvation.MOD_ID); public static final RegistryObject<Item> TEST_ITEM = ITEMS.register("test_item", () -> new Item(new Item.Properties())); public DarkStarvation(FMLJavaModLoadingContext context) { ITEMS.register(context.getModEventBus()); } } in 'public DarkStarvation(...' the DarkStarvation has this error: Invalid method declaration; return type required and the getModEventBus(): Cannot resolve method 'getModEventBus' in 'FMLJavaModLoadingContext' please help, I asked gpt but it is saying that I'm using an old method, but I'm following the latest version of Forge Docs???

      I merged your second post with the original , there is no need to post a new thread asking for an answer. If someone sees your post and can help, they will reply. If you are seeking a quicker response, you could try asking in the Minecraft Forge diacord.

      Cobblemon modpack keeps crashing idk why

      By TileEntity · Posted

      Create a new instance and start with cobblemon - if this works, add the rest of your mods in groups   Maybe another mod is conflicting - like Sodium/Iris or Radical Cobblemon Trainers
