Hello there! I'm making a mob mod, but embarrassingly, my first mob crashes the game!

Im using Geckolib 3.1.40, MC version 1.19.2, and Forge 43.3.2.

Error:

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "software.bernie.geckolib3.core.manager.AnimationFactory.getOrCreateAnimationData(int)" because the return value of "software.bernie.geckolib3.core.IAnimatable.getFactory()" is null

Crash Log

Debugged Output

I hope I've given enough info!

Sorry but the debugged output paste was removed! Here's the paste.

Looks like some kind of conflict with joshsmobs - does it work without this mod?

That's the mod i'm making.

Ok HERES the debugged log.

java.lang.NullPointerException: 
Cannot invoke "software.bernie.geckolib3.core.manager.AnimationFactory.getOrCreateAnimationData(int)" 
because the return value of "software.bernie.geckolib3.core.IAnimatable.getFactory()" is null

I am not that familiar with creating mods - the issue refers somewhere to the Animation

Can you post the class of the entity that's causing the crash? (And if you can the renderer and model classes too).

Mob Class

and cause line Animation factory was deprecated, i replaced line 28 with this:

private AnimationFactory factory = GeckoLibUtil.createFactory(this);

Mob Renderer

and finally: Mob Model

You do not return your AnimationFactory in PrairieDogEntity#AnimationFactory

    @Override
    public AnimationFactory getFactory() {
        return null;
    }

Also is there a reason why the AnimationFactory is not final?

TY IT WORKED!
