Configuration Section

[Phear]

I'm trying to get a loop going for a configuration section. Here is a config example:

reports:
  389515f2-6aa6-475a-b5ca-8965422e2729:
    Zoxu: Hacking
    Italic: Fly Hacking

The line of code trying to loop through the config is:

        for (String users : main.getDataFile().getConfigurationSection("reports." + target.getUniqueId().toString()).getKeys(false)) {

I'm getting a NullPointerExceptionError when this loop runs.

I dont see what you're doing with the config, you're storing player names under 1 player's uuid?

It's an example of the config format. The names are the players who reported this user and their reason.

Anyway, the problem is with Main.getDataFile(), this returns an instance of the folder of the plugin inside the plugins folder ("plugins/YourPlugin") and not the yml, instead you should use getConfig()

He's right. Why would you use .getDatFile()? getConfig() is what you want. If you can't use that because you're not in the your main class, then get a copy of the config in your onEnable, store it in a FileConfiguration variable, and make a small function that returns it that you can call from your other classes.
