[1.9] Crash when getting EntityPlayer from PlayerTickEvent

[Ringosham]

This only happened on 1.9. Here's what I am trying to do.

private boolean msgShown = false;
@SubscribeEvent
public void onTick(TickEvent.PlayerTickEvent event) {
if (!msgShown) {
  event.player.addChatMessage(new TextComponentString("Text 1"));
  Minecraft.getMinecraft().thePlayer.addChatMessage(new TextComponentString("Text 2"));
  msgShown = true;
}
}

Both of these lines work in 1.7.10 - 1.8.9. But in 1.9 I got NullPointerException with Ticking player when opening a world. I don't really know why it doesn't work. I'm using the latest version of Forge for 1.9

I'll post the log if you need to.

The tick event is client and server side so this line should cause a problem on the server side in every minecraft version

Minecraft.getMinecraft().thePlayer.addChatMessage(new TextComponentString("Text 2"));

 

Logs would be helpful.

Interesting, that worked in the previous versions......

Oh well, thanks for the help. (Now I feel kinda dumb.)

MC#thePlayer is the client player which you control.

 

This event is fired for server and client sides - for EVERY player in all server worlds AND for every player in MC#theWorld (client has only one world).

 

Proper way to access player: event.player

 

Additionally: This event has 2 phases (fired twice per tick) - use event.phase to pick ONE.

 

Next: Learn @SideOnly:

Also: If you want to only ever use this to display stuff for MC#thePlayer - use ClientTickEvent registered from ClientProxy. That one is fired for client only and can safely use MC#thePlayer.
