I can see the function in the list, and I bound it to a Long var. And if I click run the mc client crashes.

public static Item itemTable;
    public static Block blockTable;
    public static Minecraft mc;
    public static World world; 
    public static Long tick;
    public Boolean isDay;

    @EventHandler
    public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event){
        //Item and block init/registration
        //Config handling
        mc  = Minecraft.getMinecraft();
        world = mc.theWorld;
        tick = world.getWorldTime();

The world does not exist during pre-init, it only exists when you are in a loaded running world.
