 Description   

Issue can be seen described in this thread: https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/venturechat.24005/page-149

When I send a simple message using the Chat API, such as:

TextComponent wow = new TextComponent("welcome there");
wow.setColor(ChatColor.RED);
player.spigot().sendMessage(wow);

Both his plugin and ProtocolLib return a NullPointerException from the message.

Appears you are correct. It's MineverseChat acting up which I suspected but the dev insisted it was Spigot. Thanks for the help

Cannot reproduce, clearly no null packet from Spigot either:

        @Override
        public void sendMessage(BaseComponent component) {
          sendMessage( new BaseComponent[] { component } );
        }

        @Override
        public void sendMessage(BaseComponent... components) {
           if ( getHandle().playerConnection == null ) return;

            PacketPlayOutChat packet = new PacketPlayOutChat();
            packet.components = components;
            getHandle().playerConnection.sendPacket(packet);
        }

I would suggest conflicting plugins.
