The Issue

dedicated server runs fine, when me or any of my friends try to load in, it reaches "Loading Terrain" then it blackscreens for a second and crashes, this is a part of the crash report:

The game crashed whilst unexpected error
Error: java.lang.ClassCastException: class net.minecraft.client.player.LocalPlayer cannot be cast to class net.minecraft.world.entity.decoration.ArmorStand (net.minecraft.client.player.LocalPlayer and net.minecraft.world.entity.decoration.ArmorStand are in module [email protected] of loader 'TRANSFORMER' @67c020c8)

Steps to Reproduce

im using bettermc modpack with some personal mod additions:

all the mods highlighted are the ones i personally added, they all work until I add EpicFight.

[Sebas2K25]

The exact same thing happens to me, and with the same modpack, I deleted the oculus and still the same thing happens to me

Same here.. everything is fine until I add epic fight. I was able to use it for awhile and it only occasionally caused crashing. Now I immediately crash if I try to join my server with it added.

something about armor stand rendering for me. epic fight feels so clunky in larger modpacks when its code is put to the test it always is a problem.
