I was following this tutorial and ended up not being able to build the mod after the end of it...

So as any normal person would do i ended up trying to fix it myself and ended up bringing it down to 3 errors and unable to fix those.

Not too sure if what i did before was actually correct

This is all the code i used and the three that are still claiming to be a failure is the in the function ModItem.

which should be the last code block if i did it correctly.

After the code blocks should also be the error message i got each time i tried to build

Any help would be really appreciated. thank you for your time. I would like to learn how to figure this out to make mods in the future
