    1.  
    2. public void onEntityDamageByEntityEvent(EntityDamageByEntityEvent event) {
    3. if(event.getDamager() instanceof Snowball && event.getEntity() instanceof Player) {
    4. Player playerWhoGotHit = event.getEntity();
    5. }
    6. }

    Should work, untested though.

    Alternatively, since I'm not sure a snowball would work from this since it doesn't cause damage, you could try using a
    ProjectileHitEvent

    That works fine in the ProjectileHitEvent. I use it for a few things in one of my plugins.

    That actually gets who threw the snowball, not who got hit :/

    That seems highly unlikely. I'm almost positive DamgeEvents return the damaged entity.

    1. Player playerWhoGotHit = event.getEntity();

    No, event.getEntity() gets the player who got hit by it, not the shooter :/

    The Entity involved in EntityDamageByEntity event is the ENTITY THAT GOT DAMAGED.

    You'll notice in my code I called getDamager() which is what gets the entity that caused the damage.
