[1.16.5] Register Container NullPointerException

[StarsPath]

I was trying to create a custom container. Although there was a NullPointerException, I was still able to play the game and have access to the container and containerScreen, no crashes.

Specifically, IDE is pointing to the PacketBuffer data in the ContainerRegistry where it says IForgeContainerType.create(((windowId, inv, data) -> { ... data.readBlockPos();  // Error: data is null??

Anyone know what is the cause of this and how can I fix this?

Forge Version: forge:1.16.5-36.2.20

Yes, that fixed the problem. Thank you so much.

 

Here are the changes incase anyone curious:

  Reveal hidden contents

BlockStorageChest:

tl;dr:

• Added createContainerProvider() method to create INamedContainerProvider
• Used that instead of the TileEntityStorageChest

TileEntityStorageChest

tl;dr:

1. removed implement INamedContainerProvider
