Hey guys, in Volume 2, #3 -- Main Class, at this step it says to do this:

"Anyways, to set these initializations up, we need to create a few methods. A method is essentially a block of code where code gets run. Methods can be called by other methods, to actually get the code to be run. These initialization methods look like this, and go inside the class brackets:"

@Mod.EventHandler

public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event)

{

}

@Mod.EventHandler

public void init(FMLInitializationEvent event)

{

}

@Mod.EventHandler

public void postInit(FMLPostInitializationEvent event)

{

}

Where the hell am I typing this in? It doesn't give any suggestion of what a class bracket is and where it is!

You could have understood it if you knew what a

1. bracket and

2. class was.

did you set the creative tab?

before registering did you set Item myitem = new MyItem();?

did you import MyItem?

if you are missing any of those you will not see it. Actually it shouldn't even run without the second two.

Edit: the second two should take place inside your ModItems.class file.

in your MyItem.class you should have a method that looks like this:

public MyItem(String name, ToolMaterial material)

{

setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.<choose applicable tab>);

... more stuff

}

In your ModItems.clas you should have this import:

import items.MyItem;

and this line NOT inside a method:

private Item myitem = new MyItem("myitemname", ToolMaterial.MyMaterial);

and this code in this method:

public void registerItems()

{

GameRegistry.registerItem(myitem, "myitemname");

}

That should be the correct layout, if there are any red lines hover over that thing and look at it's quick fix options, odds are one of those will fix the problem for you.

You posted your Mystica class twice and not your ModItems class or your ItemMystica class.

You need to add an import for you ModItems class in your Mystica class(ctrl+shift+o should take care of that)

In your ModItems class you need to import both the RegistryHelper class and the ItemMystica class

Somewhere in ModItems(not inside a method) you should have something that looks like

private static Item itemmystica = newItemMystica(...);

In the registerItems() method of ModItems you should have a line like this:

RegistryHelper.registerItem(itemmystica);

In the public ItemMystica(...) method of the ItemMystica class you should have a line like this

this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.<tab you want it to show in>);

If there are any red lines left under a method call(something.something) hit (ctrl+shift+o) while in that file

Edit: same thing for red lines under variable types ( Block block )

Ok, you have it set up slightly different than I normally do.

you can take the setCreativeTab method call out of the ItemMystica class and add it to the end of the line that has

public static Item dust = (stuff you have).setCreativeTab(CreativeTab.tabMisc);

you can leave the ... part as blank I put that there because I didn't know if your ItemMystica required anything to be passed to it.

It also doesn't seem like the imports are getting added.

Try right clicking on anything with a red line beneath it and there should be a quick fix option to add import.

I don't think he knows what importing is.

Plus, what the hell is a Forge account?

Forge creates a generic user and doesn't actually connect to the minecraft user data base. You shouldn't need to do anything for the account.

can you post the information that shows up in your console?(make sure you post it in a spoiler or on pastebin)

Glad I could help!

The file you import to use "Reference.NAME" is the file you made that has your NAME, MODID, VERSION variables in it.

I think he means his forge profile in the launcher.

and please don't cuss

"Hell" isn't a swear word. Hence it's not censored.
