It seems as every time I hit anything with the rock in the sock this message appears and the game crashes, “Debug: Tried to get invalid material: cloth”.

Never tried the weapon. Maybe you should use another thing, i know that the sock is fun, but…

Try a crowbar or a nailboard. Extra points if blade spear.

There’s a PR pending that should fix this, in the meantime, you can open data/raw/items/melee.json, search for “rock\_sock” (alternately it’s right at the end of the file), and change the line a few down from that from:  
“material” : [“cloth”, “stone”],  
to:  
“material” : [“cotton”, “stone”],
