}

As you can see, drawScreen basically iterates through the components ArrayList. I assume this concurrent modification exception is being thrown when it tries to access an element in my components ArrayList. I've tried various approaches to fix this, including:

• Adding a shouldRender boolean. Setting that to false before it clears the components ArrayList and then setting it to true when it has finished clearing the components arrayList, looking like this:

  public static void setOnTop(GuiInterface component) { shouldRender = false; components.clear(); shouldRender = true; }

And I had it so that it shouldRender had to be true to iterate and draw through the components.
