Oh boy that is a juicy error log, thanks for that :-)

Lots of possibly issues (Java8, Win8, huge memory settings, assorted errors on startup including video card warnings) but I am pretty sure this is because you ran with all modules enabled? I can reproduce the crash that way

Run game, enable all modules, start Perlin world, press 'b' for BlockPicker == crash!

We probably need to highlight better that running with all possible modules is becoming a less and less survivable experiment as we get more and more modules that may conflict with each other :-)

Could you try running the game with all modules disabled using the Core gameplay option? Using the gameplay templates and optionally enabling a few extras is generally the safer way to run the game. Imagine running Minecraft with all mods ever enabled :D

Let me know!

For note, I just got it, I only had Through the Ages II and its dependent mods enabled as well as block picker.

Wonder if this might relate to Terasology/BlockPicker#7 - @MarcinSc ?

[MarcinSc]

I think it might be related. It seems a block specifies a prefab that is not present in resources. This would not be a problem in a normal game, as these blocks would not be normally available/generated in world, however BlockPicker assumes everything has to be consistent, even unused or WIP stuff.

[MarcinSc]

Yup, found the culprit: "lightAndShadowResources:redTarget". This just highlights another issue I've raised in the chat recently - LASR depends on other modules, but does not define it in module.txt.

[Cervator]

Closing this - we just removed the "Enable all" button so it should be harder to encounter this. Also been a while so some of the other issues are likely gone too (or invalid after a lot of related changes have happened - could be broken in new and interesting ways!)
