Pillager riding ravager - Ravager dies - Fatal Ticking Entity

Oddly enough, I got the exact same crash, but with a witch.

I got the same except my crash was different, but i believe related

this was in 18w50a

I'm unable to play, as it crashes every time my world is loaded.

Having the same Problem!

The game crashed whilst ticking entity
Error: java.lang.NullPointerException: Ticking entity

The only way to start playing again is either del your player file or edit ya player file so your location when u spawn in is sufficiently far away that area is no longer loaded

This is happening with the new snapshot 19w03a.  I am unable to start my server due to a ticking Pillager entity.  Two Pillager Beasts with riders were being slowly killed by the berry bushes I have planted around the base (since we can't kill with bows with the current known arrows/tridents bug introduced in this snapshot).  From what I saw just before the disconnect (server crash), one of the Beasts was killed when this triggered.  The server shuts down with the same crash report every time ever since:

I have fixed the issue myself using NBTExplorer.  Using the available crash report information I located the offending Pillager's tags and changed the OnGround value from 0 to 1.  It appears that having a value of 0 also assumes that there would be vehicle information and there wasn't.  By changing the value to 1 this bypassed the issue.

Now if I could just figure out the weird invisible entity issues that crop up in these snapshots.....  rolls eyes

In my crash report the affected entity is the ravager and not the rider, however the situation is very similar. During a raid I attacked a beast with my wolves, and suddenly the game crashed.
