1.20 Minecraft Forge Modding Tutorial - Items and Food

In this video, I show you how to register an item and set up all of its properties including how you can make it function as a food item.
In the next video we will create our first block and create its loot table! Remember, if you have any problems, please join the discord that is linked below!

Crazy how 1.20 already has a forge version out. Forge team has really been improving how fast they can update their code

[@TurtyWurty]

It's not much faster than other recent versions

[@srstafion_]

Very calm and understandable, thank you

[@MagneLindholm2700]

Yay ive been waiting for items!

[@KimueX]

Awesome content O.o

[@hwelse]

Thank you very much for this tutorial! I'm personally looking to give Sniffers some utility outside of them simply finding decorative blocks every so often. By the way, at (9:55) are those your pet birds? :o I hope they're doing well!

[@teenagedlime3]

gentleladies lmao

[@Accia121]

Thanks for the fantastic tutorial! At 16:28 when you fill out the listener for the bus it completes the entry in the DeferredRegister for you, this hasn't filled out the same code (I am using the 1.20.2 forge MDK version though) would you happen to know if this is just handled differently in the .2 version or should I fill out similar code to the video? It feels like it works fine without but I'm not sure if this is gonna come back to bite me down the line. Thanks again 😅

[@legoaggelos2722]

Hello ladies and gentleladies, best intro ever fr

[@coucoul38]

The french translation for "Example item" would be "Objet example". But if you named it "Item example" it would be "Example d'objet"

[@hugolesuisse5428]

or "exemple d'item" or "item d'exemple"

[@coucoul38]

@@hugolesuisse5428 that's probably how player would translate it yeah, but Mojang would never do this

[@ItsCoderDan]

Cover custom Armor trims plz I’m very interested in how mojang implemented that

[@milanakik1539]

A bit late to watching this, but it's good to see that the recording software is not making gameplay portion 0.2FPS

[@agarcia5510]

Awesome content! btw how can i make a food item drinkable?

[@TurtyWurty]

You will need to make a custom class for your item, and in there you can override a method (something like) getUseAction, where you can return the drinking action instead of eating action!

[@gypgopget688]

idk why my texture doesn't works 😢

[@decado1891]

did u figure it out tho?

[@firu2470]

Very helpful, how did you learn all this?

[@TurtyWurty]

Just a matter of trying things out. I always make everything in a test mod before I make a tutorial on it so that I have a solid understanding of how it all works.

[@firu2470]

​@@TurtyWurty yes but do you read the documentation, watch other tutorials or something?

[@TurtyWurty]

@@firu2470 No

[@gypgopget688]

11:16 can we modify the eating speed ?

[@wohwoh9185]

Is there any recommended 8-bit drawing method? I did it for 2 hours and it was only 32bit.

[@shaifennec]

idk why but no matter what i do the texture wont show up even tho im not seeing any issues in the log and the names matches

[@ultramelon723]

I'm getting an error in the minecraft window that opens saying "mods.toml missing metadata for modid testMod" (testMod is what I named my version instead of tutorial mod). I looked in the "mods" folder through one of the buttons it showed me below the error and there was nothing in the folder. How do I fix this?

[@TurtyWurty]

Your modid must be lowercase.

[@kelseythedreamer]

i have a question for you: is there a way to change the username or the skin that is displayed in-game?

[@TurtyWurty]

Yes. You can achieve this through some arguments in the run configuration. If you add --username=USERNAME --password=PASSWORD to your program arguments, it should work. Just make sure you don't accidentally publish those credentials 😄.

[@thedroneexisdepe9248]

do you have a tutorial baking a model?

[@TurtyWurty]

Baked Models could be something I do in the future. Not sure though, its a complex topic to try and give an example for.

[@clubgummy]

hi there I am having a problem with the texture. When ever I have my item in my hand it is invisible.

[@TurtyWurty]

Make sure that inside of your model json that where you specify "layer0", that it is spelled correctly. If it is spelled incorrectly then it will be invisible as it doesn't know what texture layer to show and render.

[@Nepheos]

I made a 3D model for an item in blockbench and use that as the models/item file (with the name line shown in the video added) and while the model shows up properly ingame, I have trouble figuring out what exactly to write to make it find the texture file i put in textures/item could anyone here give me some advice?

[@TurtyWurty]

Should just be "modid:item/texture_name"

[@Potato1234_x]

how do you do the thing at 12:44 where you see the actual code for that parameter

[@Fragtastec]

Wondering the same. Did you figure it out?

[@Fragtastec]

I found out its CTRL + Left Click

[@saninfa2460]

I have a problem and don't know why. When I run the client just forge and minecraft are showed on the mods section. Why my mod don't run?

[@TurtyWurty]

You need to make sure you have an @Mod annotation on your main class

[@cangrejin3398]

How I can create custom armor trims???

[@TurtyWurty]

Armor trims are a bit complicated and currently you can't add new materials*. But you can read about adding trims here: misode.github.io/guides/custom-armor-trims/ I will do a tutorial on it in the future though, regardless.

[@cangrejin3398]

@@TurtyWurty Ok, ty

[@Sun_Toaster]

hey why is my item showing a purple and black block

[@TurtyWurty]

Check the logs

[@legoaggelos2722]

5:45 there are no links.

[@TurtyWurty]

Fixed. Thanks for letting me know.

NICE but it is VERY VERY HARD

Where’s the forge 1.20 feet tutorial?

[@TurtyWurty]

Soon™️

[@kittygamimg5221]

Dude this is completely broken at the resources new file assets tutorialmod lang and models it just makes a new file it doesn’t add lang and models inside of assets don’t waste your time

[@TurtyWurty]

you need to create folders not files

[@kittygamimg5221]

@@TurtyWurty that’s what I did but IntelliJ doesn’t do its thing when I type assets/tutorialmod/models it just creates a new folder instead of putting lang and models inside of assets
