    Ive been trying to make a plugin which basically checks on block break if the block is in the config and if it is then has a random chance to give the player an item from config and have a null pointer exception on line 21 and i am not the most experienced with Java still learning from thenewbostons videos and from my computer science GCSE so any help and an explanation would be appreciated!

    The line the nullpointerexception given on is this:
    if(plugin.getConfig().getConfigurationSection("Items").contains(block.toString()))

    Code:
    package me.jncwhite.luckydrops;
    
    import org.bukkit.Material;
    import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
    import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
    import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
    import org.bukkit.event.block.BlockBreakEvent;
    import org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack;
    
    public class Events implements Listener
    {
        LuckyDrops plugin;
     
        @EventHandler
        public void onBlockBreak(BlockBreakEvent event)
        {
            Player player = event.getPlayer();
            Material block = event.getBlock().getType();
            player.sendMessage("1");
         
            if(plugin.getConfig().getConfigurationSection("Items").contains(block.toString()))
            {
                player.sendMessage("2");
             
                int chance = plugin.getConfig().getConfigurationSection("Items." + block).getInt("Chance");
             
                ItemStack item = new ItemStack(Material.getMaterial(plugin.getConfig().getString("Items." + block + ".Item")),
                        plugin.getConfig().getInt("Items." + block + ".Amount"));
             
             
                double d = Math.random();
             
                if(d > chance/100)
                {
                    player.sendMessage("3");
                    player.getInventory().addItem(item);
                    return;
                }else{
                    return;
                }
            }
        }
    }

    plugin is null. Create a constructor for the class and set plugin equal to the main class's instance.

    Thank you:D I acctually know how to do that aha, hopefully will work after doing that.

    I fixed the plugin and had it working fine and randomly without changing any code it started throwing an error saying can not pass block break event, even though the same code worked fine before

    Code:
    package me.jncwhite.luckydrops;
    
    import org.bukkit.Material;
    import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
    import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
    import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
    import org.bukkit.event.block.BlockBreakEvent;
    import org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack;
    
    public class Events implements Listener
    {
        LuckyDrops plugin;
       
        public Events(LuckyDrops instance)
        {
            plugin = instance;
        }
       
        @EventHandler
        public void onBlockBreak(BlockBreakEvent event)
        {
            Player player = event.getPlayer();
            Material block = event.getBlock().getType();
            player.sendMessage("1");
           
            if(plugin.getConfig().getConfigurationSection("Items").contains(block.toString()))
            {
                player.sendMessage("2");
               
                int chance = plugin.getConfig().getConfigurationSection("Items." + block).getInt("Chance");
               
                ItemStack item = new ItemStack(Material.getMaterial(plugin.getConfig().getString("Items." + block + ".Item")),
                        plugin.getConfig().getInt("Items." + block + ".Amount"));
               
                player.sendMessage("2");
                double d = Math.random();
                player.sendMessage(String.valueOf(d));
               
                if(chance/100 >= d)
                {
                    player.sendMessage("3");
                    player.getInventory().addItem(item);
                }
            }
        }
    }
    
    Thats the code now which randomly started giving this error

    Please post error message

    Also you can change this
    Code:
         if(plugin.getConfig().getConfigurationSection("Items").contains(block.toString()))
            {
    to this
    Code:
    if(plugin.getConfig().isSet("Items." + block.toString()) {
    // stuff here
    }

    Something on that line is null, figure out what it is.

    I'm pretty sure
    Code:
    Material block = event.getBlock().getType();
    Isn't a string and pretty sure from previous experience it wouldnt print something as clean as you would think so try this
    Code:
    Material blocktype = event.getBlock().getType();
    String block = blocktype.tostring
    block = block .replace("!!org.bukkit.Material", "");
    block = block .replaceAll("'", "");
    Lastly use .equalsIgnoreCase("");
    instead of .contains because then materials with similar names would have problems.
