after many seemingly random crashes I've figured the cause was looking at villagers, and that they are not actual entities, when looking at mini map pokemon show up but not villagers, in a creative world i summoned some villagers a distance away and checked the entity count on F3 and saw 1 entity (me) i still haven't figured out the cause, so for now ill have to live without looking at any villagers (and some shopkeepers) until fixed

1). Random crashes could apply to this

2). If the Minimap does not display entities correctly, it is an error with that minimap, because every other minimap seems to be just fine.

3). The villagers not counting as entities may be a bug. Stand by.

4). I need more information: Pixelmon version, Minecraft Version, Launcher, Forge Version, Crash Reports would be nice.

using mc launcher, all latest

latest forge, 5.0.0 pixelmon, mc version 1.10.2

To have any chance of fixing this we need your crash report. I haven't been able to reproduce this at all yet

ok so any npcs i look at other than trainers and doctors (so far, haven't tested them all)
crash my game, and I'm also running on mac if that changes anything.

ok its not letting me add the crash report as an attachment, so here
