I read in the jdocs:

static Player getLocal()
Gets the local player, also known as your character.

Then I used it and a user got NPE.
Am I wrong to assume that the player will be automatically logged in before onStart is called for a LoopingBot?

There pretty much is not a single type of game entity that is always loaded, including the local player. Just nullcheck everything you get from the game.

Edit: The local player may even be null if you are logged in, just fyi.

Any time you use the word 'get', you need to null check.

That's a bit extreme

Yeah, but it's a good rule of thumb.
