So I am playing modded minecraft 1.18.2. Forge version 40.0.24 Optifine HD U H7. I am continuing to get the error : "Exit Code: -1 The game crashed whilst rendering overlay Error: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Failed to create model for minecraft:pig" whilst trying to boot up the title screen of the game.

I know what the issue mod is, it's the AstikorCarts 1.18.2 version of the mod. What confuses me is a day or so ago I reinstalled the mod after I had gotten the above exit code and that time it worked and the game ran fine. I come back another time later that day to play some more Minecraft and this time I'm getting that same exit code that I got before.

So why did it work once and then stop working? I've reached out to the developer but I guess they are no longer working on the mod and couldn't provide any answers. Any idea on what to do?

Here is the pastebin with the entire log of the crash report.

Any help is appreciated, thank you

The mod has at least 3 open bug reports about this: https://github.com/issork/astikor-carts/issues

one of them suggests it is caused by apotheosis, but is not confirmed by the author?

 

The intermittant nature sounds like a race/concurrency problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_condition
