Error when trying to get a file from resources

[Abdymazhit]

Hello!

I am getting error 'java.io.FileNotFoundException: skyblock:rooms/storage.json' even though the specified file is present in my resource directory. 

Below I have provided my code and a screenshot showing that the required file exists.

    public static void getStorage() {
        try(BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(Minecraft.getInstance().getResourceManager().getResource(
                new ResourceLocation("skyblock:rooms/storage.json")).getInputStream(), StandardCharsets.UTF_8))) {
            JsonObject json = Skyblock.gson.fromJson(reader, JsonObject.class);
        } catch(Exception ignored) { }
    }

So, "skyblock" would be your mod id right? If you specify the location of the resource like that:

ResourceLocation("skyblock:rooms/storage.json")

the game will default the namespace to "minecraft" and in this case it will search for "minecraft:skyblock:rooms/storage.json" which doesn't exists. When getting the ResourceLocation of your mod assets you have to specify your mod id as the first argument, like that: ResourceLocation(your_mod_id, path), where "path" in your case would be "rooms/storage.json"

I tried this method as well before posting this thread. But, the error was the same. (java.io.FileNotFoundException: skyblock:rooms/storage.json)

new ResourceLocation("skyblock", "rooms/storage.json")

I don't think so, ResourceLocation will split the string into two piece, modid and the location. And if the modid does not exist (where there's ':' or not, and if it's empty in front of ':') it will assign minecraft modid to it.

I'm pretty sure you don't need any Minecraft code to do this.

Are you sure that's /assets/skyblock/rooms/ and not /assets.skyblock.rooms/?

You know the code you're currently using will crash on a server, right?

You are right, personally i never used the automatic split constructor so i forgot this was a possibility!

Hello everyone!
I solved the problem by creating a new mod folder in the folder that stores all the config files. And now I use resources from there.
