Making custom item gives problem starting server

[Ifnerr]

I've just finished my character, with everything done I tested it, it worked, animations were fine and it load correctly, but when I added a new item, it started giving me some problems.
I followed a tutorial to make it, even cheked to put everything as it said, only changing the name of the item, but since then I can't start any server.

This is the item I created, I don't understand why, but I made a copy of the mod without anything about this item and the server functions. my character shows up with everything fine, all the animations, no problem with mod icons, but adding the item gives trouble starting the server, actually I modified a little bit the code, so it doesn't crash the game, but it's not starting the server with the mod.

I'll be totally grateful to anyone that could give me an answer, I'm trying to change some code, and testing it, but still not working. I can share my lua files if needed, but everything should be in this to codes I posted.
 

This is the tutorial I used for my item.

Thanks a lot for your help, now it works properly!! But now the object in swap is invisible, I tried looking into the tutorial and looking for code but it was nothing there, I tried copying some code from other mod but the thing is not there, the ground and inventory image are functional but there no item in hand, I can use the item and the character plays an animation but with no item in hand, maybe you have an answer to that problem.

I'll leave the mod main in case there's something left there, and the blessed pickaxe code, I didn't change that much of what you give me, only names or order.

I tried cheking that link, and I realice that it all should be fine, but in little free times I get to make a mining helmet for the mod, now the server doesn't generate world, it will stay generating world until I cancel it, the client log doesn't tells anything now I'm totally lost, so I decided to ask If you or someone else could check the mod and test it maybe it's my computer, or maybe in the lua files I did something I didn't realice or comment something I shouldn't, but comparing codes it looks the same as in the forum tutorial, but with my names on it.

Now it works!!! thanks a lot! do you know why the item is small?  is a pickaxe but its the size of my character's hand, and trying to put my helmet as a starting item gives me a lost connection when I start the server. But when I left it as a recipe its okay, but I can't craft the pickaxe or the helmet it says "I can't do that", I tried looking for crafting tables or tech types and it doesn't seem to be a problem with that, but there is something I don't get. I tried also looking for those syntax errors and i couldn't find any.

The image size of swap_blessedpickaxe.png  is too small, you need to resize it

I'm completly grateful for your help, this is really the best help I could have, you solved all the problems I couldn't find here. I have a little issue, I found a tutorial but it seems it wasn't the same problem, my character's name and gold name is not showing, it's like the last character I put the mouse on is the name of my character, for example if I touch the random when I go to my character it says Random not worfid as it's programmed to I tried resizing it, remaking the tex and xml files, and nothing seems to change a thing, the mod is funtional but the names not, and my items names as the pickaxe and helmet says missing name, I saw another mod having that issue and tried to copy what they did but it didn't work. Some say something about <elements> and I don't know where that folder is or what is that.
Really thanks for your help!!! <3

The name of the item you fix modmain looks like this.

As for names_gold_character there have been posts on other forums talking about it

Thanks for this post, today my browser on the page was acting weird, it said something like an error when I searched on topics>mod, but I have the items like you put there, and in game. in my inventory or equipped it will always say MISSING NAME, and for what I understand the code says it's name everywhere.

Hey I just realice that in game all the items are not saying their names, like when you go and try to craft them it says nothing, and in game when you pick up the item it says MISSING NAME, I thought I corrected it but stills that way, I checked the modmain.lua and search for syntax errors or something like that but nothing happened. Here I send you my last version, I added a new item and it all works properly but the names are still missing.

 

I SOLVED IT, SORRY
