This error message won't be enough.
Try loading your game again, if that doesn't help, please send a full crash report.

I'm not sure if it is a bug in Emotecraft or bendy-lib.
I'll check Fabric loader, this fails too early.

when i export my modpack with curseforge and import it again and start it the first time i get the same error. On the second start it works fine... the same applies when i have an empty profile with only emotecraft for 1.17.1 and start it for the first time.

in the first case:

in the second case:

I'll look into it again.
Can you tell me what modpack did you use?

my modpack is DayOfMind. but as I said. For me the error also occurs with an empty instance where only emotecraft is installed

Have you found out what is causing the error? Or if it can be fixed soon?
