[SOLVED] [1.12.2] player.changeDimension(-1) NullPointerException

[deerangle]

In my mod, I made an item which can teleport you into the nether.

But when I use it, I get a NullPointerException with following stack trace:

Solution:

instead of 

player.changeDimension(-1);

use 

player.setPortal(player.getPosition());
player.changeDimension(-1);

[deerangle]

private void onFoodEaten(int meta, ItemStack stack, World worldIn, EntityPlayer player) {
	if (!worldIn.isRemote) {
		player.changeDimension(-1);
	}
}

Okay! 

[deerangle]

double d6 = (double)(blockpattern$patternhelper.getFrontTopLeft().getY() + 1) - entityIn.getLastPortalVec().y * (double)blockpattern$patternhelper.getHeight();

this is the line of code in the Teleporter class, that crashes the game.

since the blockpattern$patternhelper object is created 3 lines above, it must be either entityIn or entityIn.getLastPortalVec().

I assume it is actually entityIn.getLastPortalVec(). The variable returned by this function is only set in the Entity#setPortal(BlockPos pos).

I managed to solve my problem with exactly this. Thank you for the tips, @diesieben07
