[SOLVED] [1.11.2] RenderManager Issue - Null Pointer Exception when spawning in a throwable entity

[SOLUTION]

27 minutes ago, Choonster said:

IRenderFactory#createRenderFor is called from the RenderManager constructor, before the RenderManager instance is stored in the Minecraft#renderManager field (used by Minecraft#getRenderManager). This means you're passing null as the RenderManager argument of your RenderShuriken constructor, so Render#bindTexture throws a NullPointerException when it tries to get the RenderManager#renderEngine field from it.

You need to use the RenderManager instance passed as an argument to IRenderFactory#createRenderFor instead of trying to get it from Minecraft.

This is also a general guideline you should follow: Use the data you've been given rather than trying to get the data yourself (unless you have a specific reason not to).

So in my case, in RenderShuriken.java, I changed the createRenderFor(...) in the registerRender() method to look like the following...

	public static void registerRender() 
	{
		RenderingRegistry.registerEntityRenderingHandler(EntityShuriken.class, new IRenderFactory() {
			@Override
			public Render createRenderFor(RenderManager manager) 
			{
				return new RenderShuriken(manager);
			}
		});
	}

=================================================================================================================

I'm having issues with my shuriken (ninja star) entity (throwable) that is causing a null pointer exception when spawned into the minecraft world. I believe it happens when it tries to draw the entity because if I don't register the entity, I can throw the shuriken, it'll just be invisible when I do. I appreciate any and all help

Potential Causes - things I think could be the issue but aren't sure

1. I'm pretty sure I'm doing something wrong when initializing "new ResourceLocation(<domain>, <path>)". Can someone please verify if I'm doing it correctly?

2. I have a method that registers all of my entities. I think that could be in the wrong place as well (e.g. putting it in "init()" when it should be in "postinit()" or something)

PLEASE let me know if I need to post/add anything else. Thank you!
