Manage your elements with ElementsInitializer

The MModding Library provide the ElementsInitializer interface. This interface is used to initialize mod elements, and register them.

Create an Element Initializer

MyMModdingModBlocks.java

public class MyMModdingModBlocks implements ElementsInitializer {
    
    // Creation of a Simple Block
    public static final CustomBlock MMODDING_BLOCK = new CustomBlock(
        QuiltBlockSettings.of(Material.METAL)
    )
    
    @Override
    public void register() {
        // And we register it
        MMODDING_BLOCK.register(
            new Identifier("mmodding_exemple_mod", "mmodding_block")
        );
    }
}

For more information about the CustomBlock, go to the CustomBlock Page

Put an Elements Initializer in the Main Class

MyMModdingMod.java

public class MyMModdingMod implements MModdingModInitializer {

    // ...

    @Override
    public List<ElementsInitializer> getElementsInitializers() {
        List<ElementsInitializer> elementsInitializers = new ArrayList<>();
        // Add the Element Initializer in the List
        elementsInitializers.add(new MyMModdingModBlocks());
        return elementsInitializers;
    }
    
    // ...
}

By doing this, the MModdingModInitializer interface will directly run your ElementsInitializer objects before the execution of the MModdingModInitializer#onInitialize method.
