it's not a Null Pointer Exception (no clue where you got the idea that it was...) it's an Stack Overflow Error. that usually means that you have a funcion that is forever calling itself, in an endless recursive loop. if you look at the log it tells you exactly what function is being called: OnEntityJoinWorldEvent#EntityJoinWorld()

that event handler calls World#addEntity, but whenever an entity is added to the world, it fires the EntityJoinWorldEvent (an you're listening to that event and calling World#addEntity... see the loop?)

i understand when i check if the lightning is add i canceled the event and add a new lightning

question: when i change the pos of the lightning the event will not called again?

EntityJoinWorldEvent is fired for any entity joining the world, regardless of position.

i just test it with setPositionAndUpdate and it works
