| # | Type | Item | Prompt Preview |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Question | Armor Texture Naming Pattern | Why is specifying the exact material name for armor so critical in Forge? What naming pattern does Forge expect for wearable armor texture files? |
| 2 | Challenge | Sapphire Custom Item | Make a Sapphire item with custom properties: fire resistance, max stack size of 16, and durability set to 500 using property method chaining. |
| 3 | Challenge | Sapphire Ore Block | Make Sapphire Ore with custom block attributes: ice friction, amethyst sound effects, destroyTime = 6.0, and explosionResistance = 6.5. |
| 4 | Task | Complete Armor Set | Finish making the rest of the wearable armor set (Helmet, Leggings, Boots) and verify model texture bindings. |
Congrats!
You are officially done with the instruction part of this tutorial!
You should confidently be able to:
- Set up the modding environment
- Make new items within the game
- Create new blocks within the game
- Create new armor and tools within the game
Of course, there is WAY more you can do with modding, and to encapsulate all Vanilla modding into one tutorial is quite impractical, if not impossible. I encourage you to continue developing your project without a tutorial. Below are some first steps on what you can try next.
Crafting Recipes
- None of the armor or tools are craftable right now! Look up how to make them craftable – there is plenty of information within the documentation and forums
Loot Tables
- If you mine the blocks you made, they don’t drop anything. Create loot tables so that they drop what you want them to drop.
Armor Trims
- Modern Minecraft has armor trims of all sorts. Right now, they can’t be used on your new armor. Make it so you can.
Make Your Own Tiers for Weapons and Armor
- Why should your weapons and armor be confined to the existing tiers like Diamond or Netherite? Make your own tier!
Your Own Ideas
- Most importantly, this is YOUR MOD. Add what YOU want to add. Make Minecraft how YOU want to play it.
Thank you for making it this far, I hope this tutorial helped introduce you to Minecraft modding. Keep on creating!
