[Solved?][1.12.2] Custom Falling Block Entity crashes for unknown reason.

[Highlord_Will]

Whenever the Entity is spawned my game crashes. The code is directly copy/pasted from Vanilla code. (Vanilla does not crash)
From my tests and observation it seems to be something Client/Server side with the blockstate (the fallTile variable is not set on the Client (or Server?))

preInit() is called from the FMLPreInitializationEvent. Also, I don't have a CommonProxy, is that a problem?

    			    .tracker(160, 20, true)
    			    .build()

    		for(EntityEntry entry : entityList)
    		{
    			event.getRegistry().register(entry);
    		}
    	}

I am aware of the fact that I don't need the "for" loop, but I will probably add more entities in the future so that's why.
 

I am really lost on what I'm doing wrong, help will be appreciated!

Solved?

[Highlord_Will]

Thanks for the reply!

 

1. Ahh, rookie mistake. I've changed it to ResourceLocation(modID, "entity_name") now.

2. Great.

3. I have not implemented my own features yet, but there are some features I plan on implementing into the falling block.

4. I tried using the hasTileEntity and createTileEntity methods (even checked with @Override and there were no errors), but that crashed my Minecraft.

5. Another rookie mistake. BlockDungeon is gone!

6. I was expecting it to be something like that. I've fixed it using a boolean to determine what type of "Push Block" the entity is. That seems to work well. (My custom entity can only be a push block anyway, I know it's not the best solution, but I had lots of trouble with networking in the past so yeah.)
