[1.9] Game crashes often and non-reproducibly without reference to mod files.

[FM22]

I wrote a small mod that added only 2 items and one entity but although it seemed to work fine, we are repeatedly crashing on a survival server I set up which is running this mod. The stack trace makes absolutely no reference to any forge/fml/mod files, and the methods deobfuscate into an NPE while rendering the player's hand; I have had nothing to do with this code.

Looking at the report, none of the loaded entities at the time were my added entity. I also went around the world a bit in my dev environment to try to reproduce the crash but to no avail: I still have no idea what caused it.
