The only advice I can offer you, is try to create a mod, or look through Open Source mobs such as Tinkers Construct and Buildcraft. They are both really good examples of great mods.

Thank you very much. I am making a mod currently and was trying to add electricity to it so I tried to look at ic2s code but it's not open source and build craft is my 2nd favorite mod and I didn't know it was open source thanks very much!

I would recommend learning programming in general, that will make you ready for all the cool and awesome stuff. I fully recommend the free lecture series from Stanford which introduces one to Java quite nicely. After finishing that you can even dip into more advance free programming lectures! But for now I recommend this:

http://see.stanford.edu/see/lecturelist.aspx?coll=824a47e1-135f-4508-a5aa-866adcae1111

 

Also the best way to learn is by doing, and by having goals you want to reach.

I find that I learn the most and fastest if I learn to accomplish a certain goal.

 

When you are familiar with more than just the basics of programming methodology and thinking, then you can look into open source projects and pull them apart piece by piece to understand how they work and thereby learning a lot from doing so :)

 

I wish you good luck on you're fantastic journey into Modding and Programming <3

If you want the IC2 Source. Decompile it. (but all above 1.2.5 is not working) because they download files when you star minecraft at the first time.

 

Also you could look at Universal Electric Energy. They do have a way which is nearly at that place of IC2.

 

I am working on my own power/liquidtransport too. Its very hard thats why i tried a easier way. ^^" But that buts very much

 

I hope i could help you with that.

    • just rewatched the tutorial and my code is exactly the same as kaupenjoe's.  the item is added into the game but like i said to start it doesnt have a texture or a proper name for whatever reason.
    • yes the name is en_us.json and it is in resources -> assests -> testmod -> lang folders.  i have checked my code and am pretty confident that the code itself is correct.  i even tried loading the project in eclipse and it has the same problems, I think i will just rewatch the whole tutorial and will give an update on the situation.
    • same error, I also tried removing Valkyrian skies as well because I noticed it coming up a lot in the debug log errors
    • Hey man,    i have only been modding Minecraft for a few days but maybe I can help you. First of all make sure to follow every step of Kaupenjoe's tutorial, I found it to been very helpful and complete. The game uses the raw translation key for the item (in your case "item.testmod.alexandrite") if it can't find the correct lang file. Make sure it's name is "en_us.json" and it is saved under "ressources" -> "assets" -> "testmod".
    • whenever I try to get this item to render into the game it appears with the not texture purple and black squares and calls itself by the lang translation file path instead of the name i gave it.   { "item.testmod.alexandrite": "Alexandrite" } this is the lang json file package net.Hurst.testmod.item; import net.Hurst.testmod.TestMod; import net.minecraft.world.item.Item; import net.minecraftforge.eventbus.api.IEventBus; import net.minecraftforge.registries.DeferredRegister; import net.minecraftforge.registries.ForgeRegistries; import net.minecraftforge.registries.RegistryObject; public class ModItems { public static final DeferredRegister<Item> ITEMS = DeferredRegister.create(ForgeRegistries.ITEMS, TestMod.MOD_ID); public static final RegistryObject<Item> ALEXANDRITE = ITEMS.register("alexandrite", () -> new Item(new Item.Properties())); public static void register(IEventBus eventBus){ ITEMS.register(eventBus); } } this is my ModItems.java file package net.Hurst.testmod; import com.mojang.logging.LogUtils; import net.Hurst.testmod.item.ModItems; import net.minecraft.world.item.CreativeModeTabs; import net.minecraftforge.api.distmarker.Dist; import net.minecraftforge.common.MinecraftForge; import net.minecraftforge.event.BuildCreativeModeTabContentsEvent; import net.minecraftforge.event.server.ServerStartingEvent; import net.minecraftforge.eventbus.api.IEventBus; import net.minecraftforge.eventbus.api.SubscribeEvent; import net.minecraftforge.fml.ModLoadingContext; import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod; import net.minecraftforge.fml.config.ModConfig; import net.minecraftforge.fml.event.lifecycle.FMLClientSetupEvent; import net.minecraftforge.fml.event.lifecycle.FMLCommonSetupEvent; import net.minecraftforge.fml.javafmlmod.FMLJavaModLoadingContext; import org.slf4j.Logger; // The value here should match an entry in the META-INF/mods.toml file @Mod(TestMod.MOD_ID) public class TestMod { public static final String MOD_ID = "testmod"; private static final Logger LOGGER = LogUtils.getLogger(); public TestMod() { IEventBus modEventBus = FMLJavaModLoadingContext.get().getModEventBus(); modEventBus.addListener(this::commonSetup); ModItems.register(modEventBus); MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(this); modEventBus.addListener(this::addCreative); ModLoadingContext.get().registerConfig(ModConfig.Type.COMMON, Config.SPEC); } private void commonSetup(final FMLCommonSetupEvent event) { } // Add the example block item to the building blocks tab private void addCreative(BuildCreativeModeTabContentsEvent event) { if(event.getTabKey() == CreativeModeTabs.INGREDIENTS){ event.accept(ModItems.ALEXANDRITE); } } // You can use SubscribeEvent and let the Event Bus discover methods to call @SubscribeEvent public void onServerStarting(ServerStartingEvent event) { } // You can use EventBusSubscriber to automatically register all static methods in the class annotated with @SubscribeEvent @Mod.EventBusSubscriber(modid = MOD_ID, bus = Mod.EventBusSubscriber.Bus.MOD, value = Dist.CLIENT) public static class ClientModEvents { @SubscribeEvent public static void onClientSetup(FMLClientSetupEvent event) { } } } this is my TestMod.java file { "parent": "minecraft:item/generated", "textures": { "layer0": "testmod:item/generated" } } this is my model file for the item. I am using intellij 2025.1.2 with fdk 1.21 and java 21 I would appreciate the help.
