Solved Null Pointer Exception disagreeing with my IDE?

Hello, so I am coding a plugin, and basically I am checking if the slot in an inventory is a magma block. But if the slot is empty, I get a null pointer exception. If I try checking if the slot is null, my IDE tells me it isn't possible for it to be null. Any help?
Line 77:

Code:

if(e.getCurrentItem().getType().equals(Material.MAGMA)){

Error:

Code:

The item is null. Make sure you nullcheck the item before getting the type.

Also, use == when comparing enums.
