Since 1.7.2 has recently gotten a well mapped version of Forge with it, I figured I'd post this tutorial to aid with a common problem with the new update. With Forge, you'll notice that LanguageRegistry.addName() has been deprecated. Luckily, the new way to localize isn't very hard and only requires the creation of one file.

The rest of this tutorial is going to assume that you are using Eclipse. Open up the package explorer(It's in the upper left side of the screen and right click the src/main/java package. Then go to New, select package, and name it, assets.yourmodid.lang. Right click the newly created package and select new file and name it the language you want to have your mod localized in, and give it a .lang extension. For example, if I wanted to localize my block and item names in American English I would name my file en_US.lang.

Now for the localizations for blocks(Note you can have spaces in your unlocalized name, Ex: itemGroup.Your Tab=Your Tab):

tile.yourblocksunlocalizedname.name=Your Block

For Items:

item.youritemsunlocalizedname.name=Your Item

For Creative Tabs:

itemGroup.yourtabsname=Your Tabs Name

For entities:

entity.YourMod.YourEntityName.name=Your Entity

I hope this tutorial was able to solve all of your localization needs! Leave a reply if you need help with anything.

Hell no help -.-

	 BlockOreLightnium = new BlockOreLightnium().func_149663_c("Lightnium Ore");
	 BlockOreGallium = new BlockOreGallium().func_149663_c("Gallium Ore");
	 BlockOreSilver = new BlockOreSilver().func_149663_c("Silver Ore");
	 BlockOreTitanium = new BlockOreTitanium().func_149663_c("Titanium Ore");
	 BlockMachineXpressor = new BlockMachineXpressor(false).func_149663_c("Xpressor");

	 GameRegistry.registerBlock(BlockOreLightnium, "Ligthnium Ore");
	 Blocks.BlockOreLightnium.name=Lightnium Ore;
	
	 GameRegistry.registerBlock(BlockOreGallium, "Gallium Ore");
	 Blocks.BlockOreGallium.name=Your Item;
	
	 GameRegistry.registerBlock(BlockMachineXpressor, "Xpressor");
	 Blocks.BlockMachineXpressor.name=Your Item;

	 LanguageRegistry.addName(new ItemStack(BlockOreLightnium, 1, 0), "Lightnium Ore");

You cannot use LanguageRegistry.addName() anymore. Actually follow the tutorial.

Use setBlockName("yourUnlocalizedName");

And LanguageRegistry is gone now. Use lang files, en_US.lang for instance.

-.- it looks like this...

package com.nxt.nxtselectricity.Blocks;

import com.nxt.nxtselectricity.*;
import com.nxt.nxtselectricity.Blocks.*;
import com.nxt.nxtselectricity.Event.*;
import com.nxt.nxtselectricity.Items.*;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.BlockGlowstone;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;

public class Blocks {

//Blocks
public static Block BlockMachineXpressor;

//Ore
public static Block BlockOreLightnium;
public static Block BlockOreSilver;
public static Block BlockOreGallium;
public static Block BlockOreTitanium;


public Blocks() {


BlockOreLightnium = new BlockOreLightnium().func_149663_c("Lightnium Ore").setBlockName("Lightnium Ore");
BlockOreGallium = new BlockOreGallium().func_149663_c("Gallium Ore").setBlockName("Gallium Ore");
BlockOreSilver = new BlockOreSilver().func_149663_c("Silver Ore").setBlockName("Silver Ore");
BlockOreTitanium = new BlockOreTitanium().func_149663_c("Titanium Ore").setBlockName("Titanium Ore");

GameRegistry.registerBlock(BlockOreLightnium, "Ligthnium Ore");
GameRegistry.registerBlock(BlockOreGallium, "Gallium Ore");

}

}

Posting the same code over and over again isn't going to do anything. Follow the tutorial.

Where the hell should I write the text u got there!!! -.-

It will be marked red when I write it in there/somewhere .__.

The tutorial tells you all of the steps you need to take. The localizations do not go into your block file, they go in a separate file.

Bookmarked, thanks for this!
