[1.12.2; Solved] Creative tab works in workspace but not build

[Aarilight]

[edit: solved]

 

My mod is completed and everything works when I test via `gradlew runClient`. I'm trying to make the first build of it. After fixing multiple issues I've come across one that's left me completely stumped.

When I open the creative tabs, I crash and get the following error:
 

java.lang.AbstractMethodError: Method yuudaari/souls/common/block/BarsEndersteel.getCreativeTabToDisplayOn()Lnet/minecraft/creativetab/CreativeTabs; is abstract

All of my blocks extend the same base classes which provide their own getCreativeTabToDisplayOn function (because I'm lazy and didn't want to have to write that line on every block i make). I originally had it running setCreativeTab(CreativeTab.INSTANCE); and changed it to this in an effort to fix the problem. It didn't work, obviously.

 

@Override
public CreativeTabs getCreativeTabToDisplayOn() {
    return CreativeTab.INSTANCE;
}

See my creative tab class, which is instantiated statically. 

 

What am I doing wrong?

[edit: solved]
Seems like for some reason abstract works differently from workspace to game, I have no idea why. I use a function marked as abstract because I know that any instances will have the function implemented, but for some reason it's not in the build. No clue.
