Made a test plugin with a simple listener (uploaded in attachments):

 

@EventHandler 
public void onBedExplode(EntityDamageByBlockEvent event) { 
    Bukkit.broadcastMessage("EntityDamageByBlockEvent"); 
    Bukkit.broadcastMessage(event.getDamager().toString()); 
}

Code throws exception at second broadcast because event.getDamager() returns null.

This issue still exists in the latest version of spigot, specifically for Block Explosion damage (beds and respawn anchors).

Comment by Black Hole [ 04/Sep/15 ]

Looking at the code, a block is returned for DamageCause.CONTACT only.
It might be possible to return the block for DamageCause.LAVA, but does that really matter?

I don't understand, why DamageCause.VOID returns EntityDamageByBlockEvent.
The events for DamageCause.BLOCK_EXPLOSION and DamageCause.ENTITY_EXPLOSION seems a little inconsistent, too.

Your build is not the latest and therefore may be the reason you are having this issue. Spigot is 4 version(s) behind. CraftBukkit is 5 version(s) behind. This message was automatically generated and is not guaranteed to be a solution to your issue.
