Minecraft Mod in Java

Prompt: Can you show me an example of a Minecraft Mod written in jAVA?
By: ChatGPT (chat.openai.com)

Sure, here’s a simple example of a Minecraft mod written in Java:

package com.example.myfirstmod;

import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLInitializationEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.eventhandler.SubscribeEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry.ObjectHolder;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod.EventBusSubscriber;

@Mod(modid = MyFirstMod.MOD_ID, name = MyFirstMod.MOD_NAME, version = MyFirstMod.MOD_VERSION)
@EventBusSubscriber(modid = MyFirstMod.MOD_ID)
public class MyFirstMod {
    public static final String MOD_ID = "myfirstmod";
    public static final String MOD_NAME = "My First Mod";
    public static final String MOD_VERSION = "1.0";

    @ObjectHolder("myfirstmod:firstitem")
    public static Item firstItem;

    @SubscribeEvent
    public static void init(FMLInitializationEvent event) {
        // Register new item
        firstItem = new Item().setRegistryName("firstitem").setUnlocalizedName(MOD_ID + ".firstitem");
        GameRegistry.register(firstItem);
    }
}

This mod is functionally identical to the Kotlin example, but is written in Java instead. The syntax and structure of the code is slightly different due to the differences between the two languages. The public static keywords are used instead of the @JvmStatic annotation, and the lateinit var declaration is replaced with a static field. Additionally, semicolons are used to terminate statements, and the @Override annotation is used when overriding superclass methods.
