WTHIT Forge Edition

I was playing on a multiplayer server and tried spawning a Wither.
Just after placing the last wither skull the game crashed with

java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "net.minecraft.class_2631.method_11334()" because "skull" is null

I wasn't able to reproduce the issue in singleplayer and it might be caused by Accurate Block Placement which seems to have placed a 4th skull. Maybe there's some kind of timing issue where the block was (re?)placed locally but the block entity was deleted due to the wither spawning - or something like that.

Either way, the fix should be to add some null checks at these places:

wthit/common/src/main/java/mcp/mobius/waila/plugin/vanilla/PlayerHeadComponent.java

Lines 25 to 26 in 1e47207

    
           SkullBlockEntity skull = (SkullBlockEntity) accessor.getBlockEntity(); 
        
           if (skull.getOwner() != null) {

wthit/common/src/main/java/mcp/mobius/waila/plugin/vanilla/PlayerHeadComponent.java

Lines 38 to 39 in 1e47207

    
           SkullBlockEntity skull = (SkullBlockEntity) accessor.getBlockEntity(); 
        
           if (skull.getOwner() != null && !StringUtils.isBlank(skull.getOwner().getName()))

I looked through the code for other unchecked getBlockEntity() instances and found this one:

wthit/common/src/main/java/mcp/mobius/waila/plugin/vanilla/SpawnerComponent.java

Lines 25 to 28 in 1e47207

    
           MobSpawnerBlockEntity spawner = (MobSpawnerBlockEntity) accessor.getBlockEntity(); 
        
           ((ITaggableList<Identifier, Text>) tooltip).setTag(OBJECT_NAME_TAG, new TranslatableText(accessor.getBlock().getTranslationKey()) 
        
               .append(new LiteralText(" (")) 
        
               .append(spawner.getLogic().getRenderedEntity().getDisplayName())

It's unlikely that this could cause issues, except maybe then command blocks or creative players adding/removing spawners are involed, a null check wouldn't hurt tough.

P.S. I would have made this a PR, but it's been what feels like 30 mins and it is still downloading dependencies... 😅

	SkullBlockEntity skull = (SkullBlockEntity) accessor.getBlockEntity();
	if (skull.getOwner() != null) {

	SkullBlockEntity skull = (SkullBlockEntity) accessor.getBlockEntity();
	if (skull.getOwner() != null && !StringUtils.isBlank(skull.getOwner().getName()))

	MobSpawnerBlockEntity spawner = (MobSpawnerBlockEntity) accessor.getBlockEntity();
	((ITaggableList<Identifier, Text>) tooltip).setTag(OBJECT_NAME_TAG, new TranslatableText(accessor.getBlock().getTranslationKey())
	.append(new LiteralText(" ("))
	.append(spawner.getLogic().getRenderedEntity().getDisplayName())
