Renderer is Null During EntityRendererEvent.AddLayers

[Jimmeh]

Ahoy. I'm trying to register a custom render layer during the proper event, like so:

Adding the event as a listener:
final IEventBus modEventBus = FMLJavaModLoadingContext.get().getModEventBus();
modEventBus.addListener(EventPriority.LOWEST, this::registerRenderLayers);

    public void registerRenderLayers(final EntityRenderersEvent.AddLayers event) {
        final LivingEntityRenderer<Player, PlayerModel<Player>> playerRenderer = event.getRenderer(EntityType.PLAYER);
        playerRenderer.addLayer(new WornItemLayer<>(playerRenderer));
    }

An error is being thrown saying that "playerRenderer" is null. I'm not too sure what I'm doing wrong here, as I imagine that if the event is firing, the renderer shouldn't be null.

 

Thanks!

Look at the javadoc for the getSkins() and getSkin() methods of the AddLayers event.
