Java Array Crash

Question

public static ItemStack[] OreMelterAccept;
private static int arraySlot = 0;

public static addOreMelterRecipe(ItemStack itemStack) {
OreMelterAccept[arraySlot] = itemStack;
arraySlot++;
 }

Compiler says that the code is ok but everytime I try to execute it... it gives me an error. What am I doing wrong?

You don't initialize your `ItemStack[]` array. Might I suggest something like this: `ItemStack[] OreMelterAccept = new ItemStack[63];` — CubeJockey, Jul 27 '15 at 18:29
What exactly is the exception/stack trace? Are you initializing the array anywhere? — MC10, Jul 27 '15 at 18:29
@Sam _it gives me an error_ It would be helpful to share that with us. — CubeJockey, Jul 27 '15 at 18:30
Like @Trobbins said, you need to initialize the array. If that's all the code, then you need to google "initialize java array". There should be an exception that it tells you when it crashes. — MC10, Jul 27 '15 at 18:31

You never initialized your array. You must explicitly initialize the array like so:

public static ItemStack[] OreMelterAccept = new ItemStack[10];//10 is just an example

The comments were getting a little out of hand here, so I purged them. If you want to continue the discussion about voting behavior, I recommend taking that to chat or to Meta. – Brad Larson Jul 27 '15 at 19:12
