How do you track down what caused StackOverflow crash?

Posted April 10, 201312 yr

I'm not sure if this is mod related or Forge related...

When trying to generate new worlds, Minecraft will crash with a StackOverflowError. The problem is if I remove the mod in question, it will crash again on a different mod.

Example:

So I removed the ruins mod and then got the same crash with PeacefulPack when it was trying to generate Flax. I removed PeacefulPack and it crashed again on NetherOres when it was trying to generate ore in the Nether.

I've tried several versions of Forge starting with 7.7.1.611 and it seems that any mod that uses a world generator causes the game to crash.

You have to read the actual stack overflow exception stack, it's in there, not sure why you snipped it off.

But that usually tells you what mod is trying to do something stupid.

It happens when a mod tries to decorate outside of the currently loading chunk causing the new chunk to want to be decorated.. again, and again, and again..

I do Forge for free, however the servers to run it arn't free, so anything is appreciated.

Sorry, I snipped it because it was several hundred lines and I wasn't sure if the forums would take it all.

Here's another one. I see lots of reference to minecraft's worldgen as well as Forge so I don't know if it's a mod, minecraft or forge bug.

Keep in mind that the mod listed at the top of the stack here is MysticOres but if I remove that then it will crash on PeacefulPack (which would be next on the top of the stack). This is why I'm not sure who's bug it really is.

Warning: several hundred lines
