Hi, I've noticed a really strange bug while leads to a crash of the game on start while loading a specific block model:

I've checked the specific block model and there is no error. It is a cake slice model which only differs from the other ones by one number in its json script. I've already replaced it by a nother one but it crashes every time for the given error. Could someone please help me?

This doesn't seem to be a bug in Forge. It seems to be a issue with your model. Tracking it back either your face or sprite is null.

I've checked but my block model is absolutely error free. Here is a comparison between the not working one and a working one:

 

strawberrycake_slice3.json (the errored one)

{
    "parent": "block/cake_slice3",
    "textures": {
        "particle": "minamod:blocks/strawberrycake_side",
        "bottom": "minamod:blocks/strawberrycake_bottom",
        "top": "minamod:blocks/strawberrycake_top",
        "side": "minamod:blocks/strawberrycake_side",
        "inside": "minamod:blocks/strawberrycake_inner"
    }
}

 

strawberrycake_slice4.json (A working one)

{
    "parent": "block/cake_slice4",
    "textures": {
        "particle": "minamod:blocks/strawberrycake_side",
        "bottom": "minamod:blocks/strawberrycake_bottom",
        "top": "minamod:blocks/strawberrycake_top",
        "side": "minamod:blocks/strawberrycake_side",
        "inside": "minamod:blocks/strawberrycake_inner"
    }
}

A little update: it is a bug in Forge. I've added two more models for items and now the game crashes for the file strawberrycake_slice1.json...

Give us a zip of your dev mod then and we can take a look.

It's either your face, or sprite being null.

Also include the exact version of Forge you're using.

Should I send you the whole mod as a zip as a private message?

Post it here. I have PMs disabled.

Here is the link:

Please try the latest build (1308) and see if the error is fixed.

Thanks, it seems to work now
