SmoothBoot (Forge) causes data generation to crash on startup

Hi! I've been using SmoothBoot as a dependency in my Forge workspaces since it helps with boot times and makes modding generally a whole lot easier. However, there's an issue with SmoothBoot and data generation clashing at startup
The Problem
The UtilMixin class in SmoothBoot modifies the bootstrap which the data gen needs at the very start of its process in order to start data fixing entries for data generation. Here's a link to a secret gist I've uploaded containing the stacktrace and the full log. https://gist.github.com/Jonathing/6d0a52dac76ca3da6c45a8226e43f98b
A Workaround
I've submitted a PR (#12) that proposes a workaround to this problem. Keep in mind that it just disables everything when datagen is found to be running. If you have a better solution than I do, feel free to use that instead.
All in all, I've had a very good experience with SmoothBoot and this has been the only problem I've come across, so I thought I'd bring it up here. Cheers and have a good one.
I think I found the problem. The config for smooth boot wasn't initialized when running data generation, which is causing the null pointer exception. I'll release a new version that fixes this bug.
oh sick. you could probably initialize it in the datagen mixin I made because it's injected right before bootstrap is run. hope that goes well for ya!
It should be fixed now. I've uploaded a new version (1.2.1) to jcenter which contains this fix. Thanks for finding this bug!
