[1.8] Custom Item Crafting Recipe Crashing

[conqueror224]

I've been having an issue with trying to create a custom recipe using items that I created. I have made 1 block and 1 item. Neither one of them can be used in a recipe as a component or Minecraft won't even load. Now if I make either item the item produced by the recipe then Minecraft will load but crash once the recipe is put into the crafting bench. The best I've come up with is that it is some sort of rendering issue from the crash reports and error messages. I can't find any information on anyone else having this issue most guides only talk about making a crafting recipe with existing items. I have no clue what code would be relevant because I don't understand the nature of the issue.

 

This is the line that creates the recipe. If I change my mod block to anything in Minecraft already, it works.

GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(BlockHandler.exchanger), "##", "##", '#', Blocks.cobblestone);

 

Here is the error message when I tried to craft my mod block using 4 pieces of cobblestone:

Thanks for the suggestion. You were partly correct. I had the recipe registering in the initialization method, I moved it to the preInitialization after the blocks are registered and now it's working.
