Blocks not Loading Correctly

[DTRaptor]

Hey, I'm new here (literally just made my account as I type) and I need some help with my mod I'm creating. I have made a block following a tutorial, and finished it. But when I load the game, The block has a purple and black texture and there is some text saying: prehistoricplanet:block_fossil#inventory, with the same null texture. I am using Intellij Idea, and this is the tutorial I'm following.

 

I would really like it if someone helps soon. Thanks!

1. Post your repo (as well as your log).

2. As far as I can tell (without referring to your repo and log), you did not include a model json in your models/item directory.

 

EDIT: Just checked the tutorial you've mentioned. Stop following it, as it has a lot of terrible practices.

A lot of modding tutorials on youtube are poor and misleading (due to their cargo cult programming).

Most of the good tutorials are text-based, here's one for example: https://github.com/TheGreyGhost/MinecraftByExample/
