PHP: String killerName = killer.getType().getName(); this seems to be causing your NullPointerException. Killer may be null.
@Xisko by the looks of it your message gets sent, and after that it throws a NPE on line 47 (which is the line i quoted before), which is interesting. please confirm that line is actually line 47, as cited by your error if so, place a null check around killer before that line and if killer == null, exit the code (return)
Also Code: Player p = (Player) e.getEntity(); The entity may not be a Player. You checked if the killer is a player, but not the entity itself. Code: if (killer != p) killer is e.getEntity().getKiller() and p is e.getEntity(); that will always evaluate false. The killer isn't killing themselves. Throwing yourself off a cliff to your death wouldn't fire this event, and shooting a bow in the air straight up so it comes down and kills yourself wouldn't count as you killing yourself, the arrow would be the killer entity. So I can't think of a situation where killer could ever been the killed entity. Code: killer.sendMessage(Utils.chat(plugin.getConfig().getString("killer_message".replace("<player>", p.getName())))); You realize your code is doing replace on "kill_message" and not the actual config contents of that path, correct? Also you aren't passing a default value, so if the config doesn't have the path it will crash. Either pass a default or null check it first. It's also weird that you are casting the event. Just use the actual correct event, it's cleaner and what you really should be doing anyway. Code: Player p = (Player) e.getEntity(); Creature killer = (Creature) e.getEntity().getKiller(); if (p instanceof Player) { You are checking if p is instanceof Player, but you yourself created it as a Player so if it reaches that point in the code, it will always evaluate true. What you should be checking is if the entity is a Player before casting it. Also you are not checking killer either. If it's an arrow that killed the player, it will crash when you try to cast it to Creature. Code: String pName = ((Player) p).getName(); You created p as a Player, so this cast is superfluous. Code: String mobKilledPlayerMessage = plugin.getConfig().getString("mobdeath_message"); More assumption about the config. Null check or pass default. Code: String killerName = killer.getType().getName(); getName() is deprecated, just use name. Code: mobKilledPlayerMessage.replaceAll("<mob>", killerName); String#replaceAll is for regex. Use String#replace. Don't let the name fool you; replace will replace all as well. Also it doesn't modify the String it is called against, it returns the modified value so using it the way you are, it does nothing.
