To avoid this problem, a general rule of thumb is to only access blocks and block entities if <code><nowiki>Level#hasChunkAt</nowiki></code> is true.}}

If you only register an encoder for a clientbound packet on the physical server, your mod will likely crash or present unintended behaviour in single-player worlds. ''Forge will happily send packets that have no encoder defined, '''without a warning or error message!''''' They will be encoded as a 256-long byte buffer filled only with null bytes, by default.
