three errors here

1)

.\DavidScape\io\packets\ItemOnObject.java:211: cannot find symbol
symbol : method smithing(DavidScape.players.Player,int)
location: class DavidScape.players.Player
player.smithing(p, 1);
^

Cannot find symbol... In layman's terms, the compiler doesn't know what the method "smithing" is. Basically, what this means is that in your Player class, you do not have a method called smithing... I.E

public class Player implements Entity {

    //other code and stuff goes here

    public void smithing (Player p, int id) {
        //do smithing stuff here
    }
} 

if you're using a tutorial, take a closer look. There's most likely some info you're supposed to add to Player.java

2)

.\DavidScape\io\packets\ItemOnObject.java:216: break outside switch or loop
break;
^

This is actually an easy one. I'll just show you what you're doing, and what you should be doing.

public Action getAction (int id) {

    switch(id) {

        case 1:
            return new Action ("Cut Tree", 492); 
        break;

        default:
           return null;
    }
    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>break;<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< // the >< are to point out the error being thrown
} 

public Action getAction (int id) {

    switch(id) {

        case 1:
            return new Action ("Cut Tree", 492); 
        >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>break;<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< // the >< are to point out the error being thrown

        default:
           return null;
    }
    //the break has to be in a loop, or a switch statement, because they are only valid in those instances
} 

3)

.\DavidScape\io\packets\ItemOnObject.java:254: boolean cannot be dereferenced
p.Smithing.smithing(p, 6);

I'll bet you money that "Smithing" in your Player class(that's what I call your .java files, if you are still confused by it still at this point), and it's most likely a boolean.

Booleans can only have two states: true or false. You cannot "dereference" them by using them like methods or classes. You should only be using it by saying something like:

p.Smithing = true;

or 

if (p.smithing) {
    //stop smithing or perform other action
}
