get player username

[long pewter]

what's Global

seems like the player isn't initialized properly

[long pewter]

you're probably accessing player too early

and you shouldn't really store references to MinecraftClient like that

null checks aren't going to solve everything

debug your code

and debug your code. you only showed a small section of your code. i mean if this gets executed at the title screen, ofc the player will be null. a game hasn't even started yet

still you seem to be in a context where the player isn't available?

debug

[true cobalt]

Well if the Global class is loaded at any point before a player is available then this won't work

Because the player field will reference null

And it won't change when MinecraftClient.player is changed - the field references the object at the time of assignment, not the MinecraftClient field

getDisplayName() has never worked for me in regards to players (not sure if that's a skill issue or just how that method works), does getProfile().getName() work?

[signal yew]

try client.getSession().getUserName()

[merry dagger]

Minecraft.getInstance().player.getName().getString()

or

Minecraft.getInstance().player.getGameProfile().getName()

[signal yew]

Stupid reccomendations 2, try to just read the topic and messages above, there was said:"code works earlier than player enters the world" you can't use mc.player, when mc.player is null, only you can use is -> mc.GetSession().GetUserName()

[merry dagger]

GetSession() is not defined

[signal yew]

-_- it is default method of minecraft

Try to write mods

[merry dagger]

maybe use it on the correct event then

[signal yew]

For what? He just need name

READ TOPIC

[merry dagger]

which will get u the name

[signal yew]

Red topic before offtop

[merry dagger]

i did

[signal yew]

It will works only when play enters the world

[merry dagger]

anything else?

[signal yew]

He needs name EARLIER than player enters the world

[merry dagger]

works when mc is loaded

[signal yew]

MinecraftClient.getInstance().getSession().getUserName()

[signal yew]

R u kidding?

[signal yew]

Mc.player becomes not null ONLY when the world is loaded

[merry dagger]

nope

[signal yew]

Ok, than check it :/

[signal yew]

It will give you null error in main menu or in every time when U R not in world

[merry dagger]

when mc is loaded

so yea, theres no reason to be mad over this
just saying that mc.player also works

[signal yew]

*when world is loaded, LOOK AT COORDINATES IDIOT

[signal yew]

No, its not, you entered the world

[merry dagger]

those are the default coordinates

[signal yew]

He need a way that will work in main menu

[merry dagger]

anything else u got?

[signal yew]

Yeah it means that you are in world, but we still need a method that will work in main menu

[merry dagger]

nope

[signal yew]

I got that you cant read

[merry dagger]

those are the default coordinates when a new instance is created

[signal yew]

Ok, than what is magic coordinates showed if you r not in world???

[merry dagger]

this

unless if u joined world ofc

[signal yew]

INSTANCE BECOMES CREATED ONLY WHEN YOU ENTERS THE WORLD

[merry dagger]

then it would be different

[merry dagger]

nope, when mc loads

[signal yew]

Top 5 magic coordinates the 1st place:

[signal yew]

:/

[merry dagger]

those are the default coordanites when the instance is created

[signal yew]

Try to log player username in main menu

[signal yew]

What version do you using?

[merry dagger]

1.21.1

[signal yew]

-_______________- 1.16.5

@abstract mulch what version of minecraft?

[merry dagger]

oh ur on 1.16.5?

[signal yew]

1.16.5 -> MinecraftClient.getInstance().getUserName()
1.17-1.21.1 -> Minecraft.getInstance().player.getEntityName()

[signal yew]

Yep

Lol

[merry dagger]

oh
then ur getting confused
maybe player is only not null when player joins a world in 1.16.5
and mojang made a change in a later update to make player not null on startup

[signal yew]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Minecraft moment

[merry dagger]

yea man

mojang always like doing stupid things

[signal yew]

Why mojang so likes to relocate values

[merry dagger]

no idea

they like to put some weird code from update to update

[floral peak]

Cant you just check if its null?

if (target == null) return; this is what i do before trying to get the name
