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

October 29, 2018 -

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 :)

Since it's a server, and other players have used that spell, it's probably something the backpack is doing that the other players didn't have, and the backpack is conflicting with the Ars spell. About the only thing I can think of is have the server admin edit your player file and see if they can remove the backpack and see if that works when you join.

Internal Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException
So now I'm trying to play multiplayer and I keep getting "Internal Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException" on trying to join servers. I put in the server name and IP, then save that to the list. I go back to list, select, and click "Join Server" .... It says "connecting to network" "logging in ..." and then our error pops up and I can't wiggle past it.

</p><p> </p><p> I'm currently have Fossils_Archeology_Revival-1.7.10_Build-7.3 and llibrary-1.7.14-1.12.2 and used forge-1.7.10-10.13.4.1558-1.7.10-installer-win I have Java version 8 update 181 (build 1.8.0_181-b13), the crash I keep getting is: Error: java.lang.NullPointerException: Initializing game and it will not let me view the crash report. </p><p> </p><p> I'm not the best with this stuff so If anyone can help me I would be very greatful! ;-; </p> ... <p>Your llibrary is the wrong version. You're using llibrary-1.7.14-1.12.2, which is for Minecraft 1.12, not 1.7.10 (which this mod is for.)
