[SOLVED]Null Pointer Exception when registering tile entity

[Atm2222]

Hello, I am following along with McJty's 1.12 modding tutorials and am at the point where I am creating a Tile Entity. I have followed the tutorial and there are no errors in IntelliJ. However, when I try to load the game it crashes.

I was stupid and forgot to change something from his tutorial to fit my mod.

Oh, God thanks. I can't believe I was so stupid to not do that. modtut is mcjty's name, firstmod is mine. Thanks for helping by giving it a second look.
