author is blank!
please update the build.txt

Please help

Open it up on notepad because notepad++ and other text editors will read it differently. After that, just use the enter key after the end of each keyword, those being author, displayname, and version

Error messages are good, but what's better is an error message and the code!

Also the error could be that you don't have a matching "{" for a "}"

ok there is the code

using Terraria.ID;
using Terraria.ModLoader;

public class Sword : ModItem

public override void SetDefaults()

item.damage = 50;
item.melee = true;
item.width = 60;

item.useTime = 20;
item.useAnimation = 20;
item.useStyle = 1;
item.knockBack = 6;
item.value = Item.buyPrice(0, 10, 0, 0);
item.rare = 2;
item.UseSound = SoundID.Item1;
item.autoReuse = true;
}

public override void AddRecipes()

Namespace is incorrect, can you show me your folder structure? I'm guessing that your mod name is "Darkcraftmod", if that is the folder name, then it should just be

Darkcraftmod.Items

Since the "Mod Sources" is the place it compiles things at anyways.

I am guessing this is for the new tModLodaer .10, so here is the migration guide to help you. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GY6Jyj0IkqfvQlXJUwXg60d2V8tIzumoNVgh5OWzGIc/edit

He hasn't updated this yet for the new tModLoader.

hideCode = false
hideResources = false
