Hello! So I've tried this but the Minecraft.getMinecraft()... is throwing a nullpointerexception.

@SubscribeEvent
public void onClientJoinedServer(FMLNetworkEvent.ClientConnectedToServerEvent event){
	Minecraft.getMinecraft().thePlayer.addChatMessage(new TextComponentString("Blah blah blah");
}

My guess is because the event fires off before the player actually joins the server so thePlayer isn't actually instantiated yet. So is there any way to get around this? I'm aware I might sound totally stupid right now but I haven't found any ways around it ?

Thanks!

@TheDigitalDev should all people see this message in the chat or should it only be client displayed?

@Oscarita25 Sorry should've been more specific. Should only be displayed on the client

also on what version are you modding that you get the player with "Minecraft.getMinecraft().thePlayer"

no, just wondering.. because thats a version i never modded on :I so i may will post you a bit innacurrate code

? sorry cant help you :I
but i would suggest to send a message for debugging in the console to see if the event is fired before the player loaded

Ouch alright   Yea player is totally loaded after the event is fired. Thanks tho! ?

no problem you just have to check that the player is loaded somehow
