You need an URL and call toExternalForm in order to load a css file into your project.
Use the ClassLoader for that:

scene.getStylesheets().add(getClass().getResource("/style.css").toExternalForm());

scene.getStylesheets().add("file:///E:/csse2002-7023/src/csse2002/block/world/main.css")

This was the answer I was looking for. Using Paths you get the the same result with: Paths.get("E","csse2002-7023","src","csse2002","block","world","main.css").toUri().toString())

For those who can't find css the way from accepted answer use classLoader:

getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("css/style.css").toExternalForm()

If you use maven it will find your css under resources/css/ dir.

Simply add package name with .css file.

Your code will look like this:

scene.getStylesheets().add("sample/appCssFile.css");
