Cannot resolve symbol 'SwordItem'

[compact bay]

Hey, i just got into java modding and learned the language like 3 days ago, so this is probably a dumb question but im trying to make a sword. The fabric documentation says to create a sword like this

public static final Item ENDERIUM_SWORD = register(
"enderium_sword",
settings -> new SwordItem(ENDERIUM_TOOL_MATERIAL, 1f, 1f, settings),
new Item.Settings()
);

but for some reason, it says it cant resolve the symbol SwordItem. I've seen lots of other people using SwordItem and they have an import for it at

import net.minecraft.item.SwordItem;

but one, IntelliJ doesnt automatically add that and when i manually add that it says

No libraries found for 'net.minecraft.item.SwordItem

Anyone know why this happenes? The version is 1.21.5

I't different now

here is how the wooden sword is declared:
public static final Item WOODEN_SWORD = register("wooden_sword", new Item.Settings().sword(ToolMaterial.WOOD, 3.0F, -2.4F));

ok, why isnt that on the fabric documentation, was that changed between 1.21.4 and 1.21.5?

I don't know when it changed, I also found it weird when I found out, but I'm a beginner too

tools, armor and things like that now are basically 100% "data-driven"

[compact bay]

dang, i picked a bad time to pick up java modding

[neon cypress]

.component(
                DataComponentTypes.TOOL,
                new ToolComponent(
                    List.of(
                        ToolComponent.Rule.ofAlwaysDropping(RegistryEntryList.of(Blocks.COBWEB.getRegistryEntry()), 15.0F),
                        ToolComponent.Rule.of(registryEntryLookup.getOrThrow(BlockTags.SWORD_INSTANTLY_MINES), Float.MAX_VALUE),
                        ToolComponent.Rule.of(registryEntryLookup.getOrThrow(BlockTags.SWORD_EFFICIENT), 1.5F)
                    ),
                    1.0F,
                    2,
                    false
                )
            )

like this

I mean, being data-driven makes things easier, not harder

but, anyways, it's really easy to make a sword

[compact bay]

lol i dont even know what being "data-driven" means

[neon cypress]

just make a tool material and declare like this

[compact bay]

i have a tool material already

[neon cypress]

it means less programming logic, more things that could be done with datapacks and commands

[neon cypress]

good, then you can register with the Item.Settings of sword

[compact bay]

Do i create the tool material inside the ModItems class?

I have it in its own ModTools class rn

[neon cypress]

you can have a class only for that, no problem

it's up to you

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbciFlIMhCs&list=PLKGarocXCE1H_HxOYihQMq0mlpqiUJj4L&index=15 you can kind of follow this guy

the only thing different is that instead of using SwordItem and stuff

[compact bay]

thats outdated though

[neon cypress]

you will create an item

yeah that is

but, like I said, that's basically the only difference

on that part

you can also search on github for mods on 1.21.5 and read how they do things

[compact bay]

yeah, i just wondered if i need to make the tool material in the Mod items class because i get this error

Cannot resolve symbol 'ENDERIUM_TOOL_MATERIAL'

this is my toolmaterial defenition

public static final ToolMaterial ENDERIUM_TOOL_MATERIAL = new ToolMaterial(
BlockTags.INCORRECT_FOR_WOODEN_TOOL,
455,
5.0F,
1.5F,
22,
null
);

and this is the sword registration

public static final Item ENDERIUM_SWORD = register("enderium_sword", new Item.Settings().sword(ToolMaterial.ENDERIUM_TOOL_MATERIAL, 7.5F, -2.4F));

[neon cypress]

what's the name of the class

where you put the tool material?

[compact bay]

ModTools

[neon cypress]

then it's ModTools.ENDERIUM_TOOL_MATERIAL

not ToolMaterial.ENDERIUM_TOOL_MATERIAL

if you want to take a look at a 1.12.5 mod that adds items

https://github.com/jahirxtrap/randomisfits/tree/1.21.5

as you can see most of the items are actually a datapack

only the items with custom behaviour are created in Java

things are changing I guess

[compact bay]

oh, well, ty for helping

[neon cypress]

no problem

good luck

[compact bay]

one more question, that mod doesnt ever register a sword, but why does this:

public static final Item ENDERIUM_SWORD = register("enderium_sword", new Item.Settings().sword(ModTools.ENDERIUM_TOOL_MATERIAL, 7.5F, -2.4F));

throw the error

Expected 1 argument but found 2

nvm

i fixed it

is there a new format to the texture json as well?

[green stone]

You need a client item file.

And... I can't find the handy explanation for those at the moment.

https://github.com/neoforged/.github/blob/main/primers/1.21.4/index.md

This is from the NeoForge team but it explains it pretty well.

[feral stream]

Cause 1.21.5 just came out and I'm pretty sure most developers will skip it

Use 1.21.1 if you can't handle from MC Source Code how to make something

[upbeat imp]

I not recomend newbines go to the most new version because Even for 1.21.4, which was released relatively long ago, there are quite a few guides. But so many changes
