Your problem is already fixed probably, but for the people who are searching for a fix, follow my steps

  1. Search for CMD and run it as administrator
  2. Type in the bar: netsh winsock reset
  3. It should be fixed!
  4. If it still doesn't work, try contacting Mojang, the creators of Minecraft

My husband is having trouble connecting to my server when i try to open to Lan. It was working yesterday and now after turning both mine and his pc’s off for the night he cant connect.
He keeps getting this error:
java.lang.nullpointerexception: group
Sometimes on my screen i can see that he has joined the game, then a second later it reads that he has left the game. On his screen it just says "Failed to connect to the server disconnected”
Hope someone can help :)

When this issue occurred, I didn't actually have a backpack on my person so it was very strange, and I ended up just having my player data reset to fix it. This time, I do have one, then made Mutandis Extremis from Witchery and crashed with a similar report. I've made it before and am unsure why this keeps happening.

Internal Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException
If you know what you're doing then a quick look through the class files will reveal the problem. Alternatively, uninstall all of your mods, and reinstall them one by one to determine which is the problematic mod. If you don't use mods, then just reinstall your Minecraft. This should fix the problem.

when people try to connect to my server, they receive this error message
internal exception java.lang.nullpointerexception can not invoke "net.minecraft.nbt.compoundtag.m_128459_(string)

i also received this error message as well but during this test for some reason it let me join the server, i've tested this out on singleplayer as well and the world works fine nothing seems to be corrupted it just doesn't work for the server.
we've also made multiple worlds for this specific pack i've made and they all have had this problem, randomly sometimes people will be able to join and play normally but other times they get this error and they cant play.

Yes, of course it runs fine in your IDE. Have you noticed that it has 1.8.jar under Libraries tab? That means the "Client" in your Eclipse project is using some files(assets.*) inside 1.8.jar. The Client project in your Eclipse isn't the original Minecraft source code. It is modified a bit by MCP scripts to allow you to launch Minecraft client properly in your Eclipse. You have to copy a lot of stuffs from 1.8.jar and I am sure that Minecraft Launcher can't launch it unless you modify your exported Jar file and *.json.

If you really want to have your own Minecraft.jar, below are the correct steps. After you've done your modifications to Minecraft, save all files then close your Eclipse. In the directory(folder) which contains eclipse directory, you should fine reobfuscate.bat or reobfuscate.sh. Use the .bat version if you are Windows user, and use .sh if you are MacOS or Linux user. After you run the file, you should see some files in reobf directory. The files in the directory are obfuscated files and can be copied to Minecraft.jar directly. Now, use WinRar or other tools to open Minecraft.jar(1.8.jar). Copy all the files in reobf directory to Minecraft.jar(and replace if the file exists). After you finished these steps, you've got your own Minecraft.jar!

Now you should create your own version profile in Minecraft Launcher.(Reference: here)

In your .minecraft/versions directory, you should put your own Minecraft.jar. Predict you named it MyCustomMinecraft.jar, you have to create a new directory called MyCustomMinecraft in .minecraft/versions. Now, copy MyCustomMinecraft.jar and paste it in MyCustomMinecraft directory. Then, copy 1.8.json in versions/1.8 directory and paste it in MyCustomMinecraft. Rename 1.8.json to MyCustomMinecraft.json. Open MyCustomMinecraft.json with any text editor, in line 2, you should see "id": "1.8",. change it to MyCustomMinecraft. Your line 2 should look like "id": "MyCustomMinecraft", now.

Open Minecraft Launcher. Edit Profile button > Use version: > you should see release MyCustomMinecraft in the list!

So there are a few things you have to fix here because this won't work well.

First of all you have to use setExecutor() instead of creating a new instance of it. This can be done by adding this into your onEnable() :

this.getCommand("mycommand").setExecutor(new CommandKit());

You will have to specify this command in your plugin.yml as well, here is some documentation about it : https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/plugin-yml/

Then you can delete your `HelloCommand()´, you won't need it anymore with what you changed above.

With this your error should go away, let me know if you still have some errors coming up.

A NullPointerException means that at some point of your code an object or anything else is "null". Let me give you a good structure for your main but also your command class.

Main-Class:

package org.devoflua.hello;

import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
import org.devoflua.hello.commands.HelloCommand;

public class Main extends JavaPlugin {

public void onEnable() {
    System.out.println("Plugin Enabled");
    getCommand("hello").setExecutor(new HelloCommand();
    }

    public void onDisable() {
        System.out.println("Plugin Disabled");
    }
}

CommandExecutor class:

package org.devoflua.hello.commands;

import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandExecutor;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.devoflua.hello.Main;

public class HelloCommand implements CommandExecutor{

public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args) {
    if (sender instanceof Player) {
        Player p = (Player) sender;
        if (p.hasPermission("hello.use")) {
            p.sendMessage("hi");
        } else {
            p.sendMessage("You do not have permission to send this message");
        }
    } else {
        sender.sendMessage("Only senders can use this command");
    }
    return true;
}
