[Solved] [1.13.2] Schedule Code to be Ran Later

[DavidM]

In my TileEntity#read, I am trying to do the following:

@Override
public void read(NBTTagCompound nbt) {
	super.read(nbt);
	
	/*... getting fields from nbt*/
	
	if (this.world.isRemote()) this.updateModel(); // Used by tesr. Must be called after getting fields from nbt is done.
	this.power = this.world.getRedstonePowerFromNeighbors(this.pos);
}

 

As shown in the code, the last two lines all require access to World; however, when TileEntity#read is called as the world initializes, TileEntity#world is null, and therefore the last two lines will encounter a NullPointerException.

My idea is that I can somehow schedule the lines that refers to TileEntity#world to be ran later when the world finishes loading. How would I achieve that?

Is your TE ITickable? If is is then you can simply do these things on the first tick(have a boolean or something). 

Otherwise you might be able to do it in TileEntity#setWorld, as far as I can tell it is called after the NBT was loaded. Just make sure you are on the server.

Thanks.

TileEntity#onLoad is the same as checking if the tick is the tiles first tick, but indicates your intention better
