TheRedstoneWiz

I heard that im not supposed to follow youtube tutorials like technovision and harrytalks, but if so, then what is the best way of learning to code and create a minecraft mod? (assuming the person already has basic understanding of Java)

I was following Harry talks tutorial to weapons and tools, and while following, i encountered an error when making the SwordItem on this line: "ItemList.wooden_katana = new SwordItem(ToolMaterialList.katana_wooden_material, -1.0f, 6.0f, new Item.Properties().group(ItemGroup.MISC)).setRegistryName(location(wooden_katana));" At the end of this line, where it says "wooden_katana", it gives the following error: "wooden_katana cannot be resolved to a variable" even though i set the variable in the class "ToolMaterialList". The second error on the line is shown in the typical red underlines from "new SwordItem" to "ItemGroup.Misc))" which says: "The constructor SwordItem(ToolMaterialList, float, float, Item.Properties) is undefined" How do I fix these errors? ToolMaterialList.java package redstonewiz.asianweaponry.lists; import net.minecraft.item.IItemTier; import net.minecraft.item.Item; import net.minecraft.item.crafting.Ingredient; public enum ToolMaterialList implements IItemTier { katana_diamond_material(3.0F, 0.0F, 2000, 3, 14, ItemList.katana_diamond_material), katana_iron_material(2.5F, 0.0F, 2000, 3, 14, ItemList.katana_diamond_material), katana_gold_material(1F, 0.0F, 2000, 3, 14, ItemList.katana_diamond_material), katana_stone_material(2.0F, 0.0F, 2000, 3, 14, ItemList.katana_diamond_material), katana_wooden_material(1.0F, 0.0F, 2000, 3, 14, ItemList.katana_diamond_material); private float attackDamage, efficiency; private int durability, HarvestLevel, enchantibility; private Item repairMaterial; private ToolMaterialList(float attackDamage, float efficiency, int durability, int HarvestLevel, int enchantibility, Item repairMaterial) { // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub this.attackDamage = attackDamage; this.efficiency = efficiency; this.durability = durability; this.HarvestLevel = HarvestLevel; this.enchantibility = enchantibility; this.repairMaterial = repairMaterial; } @Override public int getMaxUses() { // TODO Auto-generated method stub return this.durability; } @Override public float getEfficiency() { // TODO Auto-generated method stub return this.efficiency; } @Override public float getAttackDamage() { // TODO Auto-generated method stub return this.attackDamage; } @Override public int getHarvestLevel() { // TODO Auto-generated method stub return this.HarvestLevel; } @Override public int getEnchantability() { // TODO Auto-generated method stub return this.enchantibility; } @Override public Ingredient getRepairMaterial() { // TODO Auto-generated method stub return Ingredient.fromItems(this.repairMaterial); } } ItemList.java package redstonewiz.asianweaponry.lists; import net.minecraft.item.Item; import net.minecraft.item.SwordItem; public class ItemList { public static Item bluesteel_ingot; public static Item katana_diamond_material; public static SwordItem diamond_katana; public static SwordItem iron_katana; public static SwordItem golden_katana; public static SwordItem stone_katana; public static SwordItem wooden_katana; } AsianWeaponryMod.java (my main) package redstonewiz.asianweaponry; import org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager; import org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger; import net.minecraft.item.Item; import net.minecraft.item.ItemGroup; import net.minecraft.item.SwordItem; import net.minecraft.util.ResourceLocation; import net.minecraftforge.common.MinecraftForge; import net.minecraftforge.event.RegistryEvent; import net.minecraftforge.eventbus.api.SubscribeEvent; import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod; import net.minecraftforge.fml.event.lifecycle.FMLCommonSetupEvent; import net.minecraftforge.fml.javafmlmod.FMLJavaModLoadingContext; import redstonewiz.asianweaponry.items.ItemCustomKatana; import redstonewiz.asianweaponry.lists.ItemList; import redstonewiz.asianweaponry.lists.ToolMaterialList; @Mod("asianweaponrymod") public class AsianWeaponryMod { public static AsianWeaponryMod instance; public static final String modid = "asianweaponrymod"; private static final Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger(modid); public AsianWeaponryMod() { instance = this; FMLJavaModLoadingContext.get().getModEventBus().addListener(this::setup); FMLJavaModLoadingContext.get().getModEventBus().addListener(this::clientRegistries); // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(this); } private void setup(final FMLCommonSetupEvent event) { logger.info("Setup method registered"); } private void clientRegistries(final FMLCommonSetupEvent event) { logger.info("clientRegistries method registered"); } @Mod.EventBusSubscriber(bus=Mod.EventBusSubscriber.Bus.MOD) public static class RegistryEvents { @SubscribeEvent public static void registerItems(final RegistryEvent.Register<Item> event) { event.getRegistry().registerAll ( ItemList.wooden_katana = new SwordItem(ToolMaterialList.katana_wooden_material, -1.0f, 6.0f, new Item.Properties().group(ItemGroup.MISC)).setRegistryName(location(wooden_katana)); logger.info("Items registered."); } private static ResourceLocation location(String name) { return new ResourceLocation(modid, name); } } }

How do i change the attack cooldown of the sword? whenever i try to copy the code for attack speed to my ToolKatana and run it, it still shows the same 1.6 speed. How do i fix this? Here is my code: package com.redstonewiz.ancientweapons.items.tools; import com.google.common.collect.Multimap; import com.redstonewiz.ancientweapons.Main; import com.redstonewiz.ancientweapons.init.ModItems; import com.redstonewiz.ancientweapons.util.IHasModel; import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs; import net.minecraft.entity.SharedMonsterAttributes; import net.minecraft.entity.ai.attributes.AttributeModifier; import net.minecraft.inventory.EntityEquipmentSlot; import net.minecraft.item.Item; import net.minecraft.item.ItemSword; public class ToolKatana extends ItemSword implements IHasModel { private final float attackDamage; public ToolKatana(String name, ToolMaterial material) { super(material); setUnlocalizedName(name); setRegistryName(name); setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.COMBAT); this.attackDamage = 10.0F + material.getAttackDamage(); ModItems.ITEMS.add(this); } @Override public void registerModels() { // TODO Auto-generated method stub Main.proxy.registerItemRenderer(this, 0, "inventory"); } @Override public void RegisterModels() { // TODO Auto-generated method stub } public Multimap<String, AttributeModifier> getItemAttributeModifiers(EntityEquipmentSlot equipmentSlot) { Multimap<String, AttributeModifier> multimap = super.getItemAttributeModifiers(equipmentSlot); if (equipmentSlot == EntityEquipmentSlot.MAINHAND) { multimap.put(SharedMonsterAttributes.ATTACK_SPEED.getName(), new AttributeModifier(ATTACK_SPEED_MODIFIER, "Weapon modifier", -2.4D, 5)); } return multimap; } }

Are there any ideas for Minecraft mods which haven't been done yet? im struggling to find any good ideas as people have already done everything, but i still have hope that there is still something i can do or take advantage of. Are there any ideas that i can take from the real world? Or from other fictional work. Thank you for your time.
