[1.8]A little bit confused with Rendering on 1.8

[Cerandior]

For about some time now i have started a 1.8 mod project. I have started it mostly like a test project to learn more about the way Forge 1.8 works but depending on the way it turns out this project may be published. So today i found some time and started working. I am getting a little bit confused over the rendering. I saw a simple tutorial and then tried to recreate the thing my own way. After i finished it seemed that i had done the most part of simple rendering for items and block using .json however everytime i start the game it just crashes on PreInit phase if i am not mistaken. Maybe i am derping and this is an obvious error, but this is the first time for me working on 1.8 so excuse the non-efficient coding(if there is any).

 

Here is the crash-report:

[AlexIIL]

I think the issue here is that Minecraft's RenderItem instance is initialised after init and before post-init. So, to make it would you would need to move the item rendering registration to post init.

[Cerandior]

That didn't work. The error is a null-pointer exception so i am assuming, at some part of the rendering or renderer code is returning null somewhere.

[AlexIIL]

Do you get the exact same error? What may help would be to put a new line between each function call (so

    Minecraft.getMinecraft().getRenderItem().getItemModelMesher().register(item, 0, new ModelResourceLocation(Asolin.MODID + ":" + item.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5), "inventory"));

would become:

    Minecraft.getMinecraft()

    .getRenderItem()

    .getItemModelMesher()

    .register(item, 0, new ModelResourceLocation(Asolin.MODID + ":" + item.

    getUnlocalizedName().

    substring(5), "inventory"));

So you can see which function call is throwing an error, rather than just "somewhere in the entire line".

[Choonster]

Your

Init

and

postInit

methods are both handling

FMLPreInitializationEvent

instead of handling

FMLInitializationEvent

and

FMLPostInitializationEvent

.

 

The

RenderItem

instance is created between preInit and init, so it's still

null

when you try to register your item models in the preInit phase.

[Cerandior]

Yeah that,s derpy. I probably copy pasted that for the two others from pre init and forgot to change the event names for the others. Well thank you for the help.

[jeffryfisher]

All things for rendering (e.g.meshing and renderers) are client-only. The server doesn't do display.

[Cerandior]

Yes i know. Thats why i am registering it at clientProxy

[jeffryfisher]

Sorry, I saw the word "renderer" in the main class and commented. My own style is to call proxy.init (or preInit) and not have any mention of client-only features until inside my client proxy. In my own code, calls like ItemRenderer.registerItemRender() and proxy.registerRenderInfo() would be red flags.

 

Incidentally, your ItemRenderer class has "import net.minecraft.client.Minecraft". Isn't that a client-only class (hence "client" in its path)?

 

[Cerandior]

That is not incidentally imported.

Minecraft.getMinecraft uses it. And minecraft.getMinecraft it's client only

[jeffryfisher]

That is not incidentally imported.

Minecraft.getMinecraft uses it. And minecraft.getMinecraft it's client only

I'm glad you found the error.
