Reading the logCould not pass event / org.bukkit.event.EventException: null
What the log looks like
org\.bukkit\.event\.EventException: null
Could not pass event \S+ to [^\r\n]+\r?\norg\.bukkit\.event\.EventException: null
How to fix it
- Read the `Could not pass event <EventName> to <PluginName>` line immediately above `org.bukkit.event.EventException: null` to identify which plugin failed while listening to the event.
- Scroll down the log until you find the `Caused by:` line, which reveals the real Java exception and the exact plugin method that broke.
- Scan the lines above and below `Caused by:` for other plugin package names, since one plugin triggering an action (such as opening a custom inventory) can cause a second listening plugin to fail.
- Check the failing plugin's configuration files if the `Caused by:` message mentions an invalid item, material (such as `Cannot drop AIR`), or missing world.
- Update both the failing plugin and your Paper or Spigot build to versions that match your server's Minecraft version, or report the full log—including the entire `Caused by:` section—to that plugin's developer.
