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 :)

August 26, 2022 - I was playing a modded server, tried to use a spell from Ars Magica 2, and got kicked. Every time I join the launcher crashes and it gives the same error message. Someone else on the server was able to use the exact same spell with no problem before I did.

March 21, 2015 - 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. ... Gotcha guys. I'm on it ---- I recently re-re-installed MC so the error log is empty I'm afraid!

r/ModdedMC on Reddit: internal exception java.lang.nullpointerexception can not invoke "net.minecraft.nbt.compoundtag.m_128459_(string) | Forge 1.20.1 Server
April 17, 2024 -

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.

Understanding `java.lang.NullPointerException` in Minecraft — javaspring.net
When a NullPointerException is thrown in Minecraft, the game usually provides a stack trace in the console. The stack trace shows the sequence of method calls that led to the exception. Look for the line number and the class where the exception was thrown. For example: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException at com.example.minecraftmod.MyModClass.doSomething(MyModClass.java:25) at com.example.minecraftmod.MyModClass.main(MyModClass.java:10)
