[1.7.10] Server crash on block place with TileEntity

[Tarrokk]

Hey guys!

 

So, I am trying to make my mod compatible with servers. I'm still pretty new to modding, but I managed to make everything work fine in singleplayer and also dug into a little bit of the whole proxy thing that's needed for server/client architecture.

 

But now I am stuck with an error thrown by the server whenever I place one of my blocks that has a TileEntity attached to it:

 

[15:17:29] [server thread/ERROR]: Encountered an unexpected exception

As far as I understand the server is not supposed to access any render methods. So why is it calling the getRenderBoundingBox method, since it is annotated as @SideOnly(ClientSide) in the base class "TileEntity"? And how do I fix this problem?

 

Thanks in advance!

It looks like your

TileEntityHeatPress#updateEntity

method is calling

TileEntityHeatPress#getRenderBoundingBox

, which is then calling the super method. This throws a

NoSuchMethodError

because the super method doesn't exist on the server.

 

You should avoid calling

getRenderBoundingBox

outside of client-only code and also mark it as client-only with

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

so it's removed from the class on the dedicated server.

Wow, I can't believe that I did not find that method call by myself... so stupid of me.

You were exactly right, thanks so much! Fixed it easily and now it's working properly =)

 

Have a nice day!
