Don't worry, I just started modding 4 or 5 days ago, you'll get used to it You'll have to create yourself the ItemIngot class, since it's a new Item. An ingot is just an item for crafting tools, so all you have to do is edit the template I'll post with the name of your ingot on the places where it says TestIngot ^^

package net.minecraft.src;
public class TestIngot extends Item
{
public TestIngot(int i)
{
super(i);
maxStackSize = 64;
}
}

Thank you made my day 10x easier

, On the 5th line, write "public static final Block testblock" and not "public static final Block TestBlock" capitals are important too, if it still doesn't work I'll try something different ^^

Also, there is still a second X in the crafting recipe that might be screwing it up (he might be crafting it wrong so to speak)

Well, I tried this and.. nothing. So I tried to rewrite the code, and... nothing. The same problem, I can't craft the item, and probably the item doesn't even exist.

The mod_test class:

package net.minecraft.src;
public class mod_test extends BaseMod
{
	 public static final Block testblock = new testblock(225, 0).setBlockName("Test Block").setHardness(3F).setResistance(20F).setLightValue(20F);

	 public void load()
{
	 testblock.blockIndexInTexture = ModLoader.addOverride("terrain.png", "/russo/testblock.png");
ModLoader.registerBlock(testblock);
ModLoader.addName(testblock, "Test Block");
ModLoader.addRecipe(new ItemStack(testblock, 1), new Object [] {"#", Character.valueOf('#'), Block.dirt});

}

public String getVersion()
{
	 return "1.2.5"

}
}

did you make the second class for the block?

package net.minecraft.src;
import java.util.Random;
public class BlockTestBlock extends Block
{
			    public BlockTestBlock(int i, int j)
			    {
					    super(i, j, Material.wood);
			    }

	    public int idDropped(int i, Random random, int j)
	    {
			    return mod_TestBlock.TestBlock.blockID;
	    }
	    public int quantityDropped(Random random)
	    {
							    return 1;
	    }}

yeah it can drop 3 dirt, just change

 reutrn 1; 

in quantityDropped to

 return 3 

also, could you repost the code, the colors messed it up and no one can read it
I see now you have already done that lol

Quote from leorusso23

Yeah I made it. I forgot to post the code:

EDIT:

package net.minecraft.src;
public class mod_test extends BaseMod
{
	 public static final Block testblock = new testblock(225, 0).setBlockName("Test Block").setHardness(3F).setResistance(20F).setLightValue(20F);

	 public void load()
{
	 testblock.blockIndexInTexture = ModLoader.addOverride("terrain.png", "/russo/emeraldOre.png");
ModLoader.registerBlock(testblock);
ModLoader.addName(testblock, "Test Block");
ModLoader.addRecipe(new ItemStack(testblock, 1), new Object [] {"#", Character.valueOf('#'), Block.dirt});

}

public String getVersion()
{
	 return "1.2.5";

}
}

And in this code, can you explain me how can I decide how many items/blocks will drop ? Like I want my block to drop 3 dirts. Can I do it ?

thats still the "mod_" class what about the "BlockNameHere" class?

Quote from leorusso23

I edited the code.

When I try to recompile I get this error:

''class BlockTestBlock is public, should be declared in a file named BlockTestBlock.java public class BlockTestBlock extends Block''

What does it mean ?

And one more doubt: How should I save the modloader basic file and the block file ? ''mod_test.class, BlockTestblock.class" or ''mod_test.java, BlockTestblock.java" ?

They should be saved as .java files

1. you should get eclipse: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-classic-42/junor

2. run the cleanup.bat file (yes this will remove all code)

3. Make sure you install modloader into Minecraft.jar in mcp's jars folder (delete META-INF!)

4. run decompile.bat

5. set up eclipse according to techguy's tutorial

6. Code!

Eclipse will help you a lot with the coding as it will help you create the classes and all you really have to worry about is the code inside being right

Quote from leorusso23

When I try to install Eclipse, it says:

''Failed to load the JNI shared library ''C:\Program Files(x86)\Java\jdk(1.6.0)\bin\...\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll"

Then you sir do not have JDK installed, you can grab it from here though: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-7u3-download-1501626.html

Then retry eclipse.

Quote from leorusso23

Well, I installed it, but I'll try it again.

This link is for JDK 7, but the best one is the JDK 6, isn't it ?

JDK 7 is most recent, I'm not sure which is "better" but get JDK 7, thats what I'm using.

Edit: Also, you should be sure to get the 64 bit version of eclipse, i think you got the 32 bit version and from your post it looks like your machine is x64

Quote from leorusso23

Well, I am almost there.

But I am having problems with this block code:

package net.minecraft.src;
import java.util.Random;
public class BlockTestBlock extends Block
{
public BlockTestBlock(int i, int j)
{
super(i, j, Material.rock);
}

public int idDropped(int i, Random random, int j)
{
return mod_Block.TestBlock.blockID;
}
public int quantityDropped(Random random)
{
	return 3;
}}

How so?
