Is an error reported by RaspberryJuice in the server console?

The only reason I can think that getTilePos would return an error is if there is not a player "in the server".

A screenshot which shows Minecraft, your Python program and the minecraft server console would be useful.

I noticed you are using 

server 1.12

client 1.12.2 

When I try and connect client 1.12.2 to server  1.12 I get an "Failed to connect to the server. Outdated server! Im still on 1.12" message.

Are you connecting to the server by selecting "Multiplayer" in Minecraft, "Direct connect" and entering "localhost"?

If you have everything setup correctly this is what you should see.
