This looks like the same issue as #5056.

```java
11:13:42.050 [main] INFO  o.t.e.w.b.internal.BlockManagerImpl - Registered Block CoreAssets:TallGrass1 with id 10
11:13:42.050 [main] ERROR o.t.e.w.b.internal.BlockManagerImpl - Failed to register block family 'Optional[BlockFamily[symmetric,CoreAssets:TallGrass1]]'
java.lang.NullPointerException: null

This appears to be a different issue. It may be harmless though, I am not sure.

@BenjaminAmos @jdrueckert is there anything left to do a new release, to not have bug reports like this one?

[jdrueckert]

@soloturn The bug report does not go away just because we create a new release. The Out of bounds sporadic bug is one that we see from time to time but we didn't fix it yet, partially because it's only appearing sporadically and, thus, is hard to reproduce.

@Rukki13 From what I've seen so far, this is a sporadic issue, so restarting Terasology and retrying to start the CoreGameplay template typically helps. If the issue persists for you that is on one hand unfortunate but on the other hand this would actually be quite valuable for us because we currently cannot reproduce it consistently so debugging and fixing it is quite hard.

@BenjaminAmos as the main issue is a duplicate of #5056 should we close it as such? Or do you want to keep this issue due to the secondary issue you observed in the logs?

[BenjaminAmos]

This is mostly likely a duplicate of #5056, so I think we can keep the discussion there for now.

11:13:42.050 [main] ERROR o.t.e.w.b.internal.BlockManagerImpl - Failed to register block family 'Optional[BlockFamily[symmetric,CoreAssets:TallGrass1]]'

Since this is explicitly an optional type, it is probably a harmless error. At worst, a particular block shape would not be available in-game. I will close this as a duplicate for now but if it occurs again then it is worth investigating further.
