Here's the only piece of code that actually references the logger: package OurMod.common; import java.util.Random; import net.minecraft.block.Block; import net.minecraft.block.material.Material; import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs; import net.minecraft.entity.passive.EntityCow; import net.minecraft.init.Blocks; import net.minecraft.init.Items; import net.minecraft.item.Item; import net.minecraft.item.ItemBlock; import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack; import net.minecraft.util.ResourceLocation; import net.minecraftforge.common.MinecraftForge; import net.minecraftforge.event.RegistryEvent; import net.minecraftforge.event.entity.living.LivingDropsEvent; import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod; import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod.EventHandler; import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.SidedProxy; import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLInitializationEvent; import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLPostInitializationEvent; import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLPreInitializationEvent; import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.eventhandler.SubscribeEvent; import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry; import org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger; import OurMod.common.client.ClientProxy; @Mod(modid = OurMod.MODID, name = OurMod.NAME, version = OurMod.VERSION) public class OurMod { public static final String MODID = "ourmod"; public static final String NAME = "Our Mod"; public static final String VERSION = "alpha 1"; public static Logger logger; public static final String CLIENT = "OurMod.common.client.ClientProxy"; public static final String SERVER = "OurMod.common.client.ServerProxy"; @SidedProxy(clientSide = CLIENT, serverSide = SERVER) public static IProxy proxy; @EventHandler public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event) { logger = event.getModLog(); proxy.preInit(event); } @EventHandler public void init(FMLInitializationEvent event) { proxy.init(event); } @EventHandler public void postInit(FMLPostInitializationEvent event) { proxy.postInit(event); } } I have lots of other files, but they are all very surface level stuff. I'm thinking there must be a problem with my setup.

I'd be happy to, but I assure you, the issue was there from the moment I got forge running in eclipse, even when I hadn't set up a mod.

I've set up my workspace, and I've started making a mod, and even though the game functions fine, the logger stops working shortly after starting up, which is a problem, as it's a pretty essential part of my debugging process. A transcript of the relevant parts of the log follows: [12:10:09] [main/INFO]: Managed to load a deobfuscated Minecraft name- we are in a deobfuscated environment. Skipping runtime deobfuscation [12:10:09] [main/INFO]: Detected deobfuscated environment, loading log configs for colored console logs. 2018-11-02 12:10:09,638 main ERROR Error processing element LoggerNamePatternSelector ([PatternLayout: null]): CLASS_NOT_FOUND 2018-11-02 12:10:09,639 main ERROR Error processing element TerminalConsole ([Appenders: null]): CLASS_NOT_FOUND 2018-11-02 12:10:09,640 main ERROR Error processing element LoggerNamePatternSelector ([PatternLayout: null]): CLASS_NOT_FOUND 2018-11-02 12:10:09,655 main ERROR Unable to locate appender "Console" for logger config "root" 2018-11-02 12:10:09,874 main ERROR Error processing element LoggerNamePatternSelector ([PatternLayout: null]): CLASS_NOT_FOUND 2018-11-02 12:10:09,875 main ERROR Error processing element TerminalConsole ([Appenders: null]): CLASS_NOT_FOUND 2018-11-02 12:10:09,875 main ERROR Error processing element LoggerNamePatternSelector ([PatternLayout: null]): CLASS_NOT_FOUND 2018-11-02 12:10:09,883 main ERROR Unable to locate appender "Console" for logger config "root" I'm not really sure where to look to fix this, so I apologise if resources to solve this problem already exist.

I would like to have custom dispenser entities so that if one of my Items is getting launched out of a dispenser, it will call that method in my Item, giving me a position to either return false(and have the item launched) or launch a custom entity and return true.
