[1.20.1] Crash with CTM, Create & Embeddium when opening creative inventory

[JMK-39]

Hello CTM Team,
I'm experiencing a client crash when opening the creative mode inventory. The crash appears to be a compatibility issue between CTM, Create, and performance/rendering mods like Embeddium and Entity Model Features.
The crash report consistently points to a java.lang.NullPointerException within CTM's model rendering code (AbstractCTMBakedModel), specifically when trying to access this.textureOverrides. This seems to be triggered while rendering items for the Create mod's creative tab.
Steps to Reproduce:
Install Minecraft 1.20.1 with a compatible Forge version.
Install the following mods with their specified versions:
ConnectedTexturesMod (CTM): 1.1.10
Create: 6.0.6
Entity Model Features: 2.4.1
Entity Texture Features: 6.2.9
Embeddium: 0.3.31
Embeddium+ (Embeddium Extra): 1.7.2
Enable the following resource packs:

Glass Panes CTM Fix: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/texture-packs/glass-panes-ctm-fix
Launch the game and create/load a world in Creative Mode.
Open the creative inventory screen (default key: 'E').
The game immediately crashes.
Expected Behavior:
The creative inventory should open normally without causing a game crash.
Actual Behavior:
The game client crashes to the desktop, generating the crash report provided below.

I know this is old, but if you're still having this issue, try just removing Embeddium and see if it works. Create isn't compatible with any mods that rewrite the rendering engine.
It does work with Sodium from my experience.
