Might be an issue with install. Try version 50. If you still get a NPE, open an issue on github — identigral, Aug 28, 2020 at 16:50
There is an open issue created for the error you reported- github.com/forcedotcom/dataloader/issues/215 according to which this happens from v45.0.0. Can you try with less than version 45 and see if it helps — Swetha, Sep 2, 2020 at 10:54

Edit: (Fed, 25 2021)

V51 is out where all the issues have been fixed. Download it from your org.

Edit: (DEC, 28 2020)

This issue has been fixed with the new version of the Dataloader. Take a look at the Github issue page for more information. The following link can be found on this page but I've put it here for more convenience.
use this link to download Dataloader V50.0 which contains the fix for the macOS Big Sur.

My previous answer

This worked for me after spending so many hours trying to find a solution. My macOS version: 10.15.7 Catalina

Scroll down to the Zulu Java 11 (LTS) section from here.
Use this command open /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines to open the java virtual machines folder and remove all the Zulu versions from there (make sure none of these are required for other software to run, for me none were!)
Now install the Zulu file you've downloaded.
Download data loader from your org's UI as you'd do normally and install it

Note: Make sure there's a single Zulu in your JavaVirtualMachines folder. Also, the version of Zulu in the screenshot is the only one that worked for me

Check out this repo for older versions of Data Loader: https://github.com/forcedotcom/dataloader/releases

I hope this helps you. If it does, please upvote and select as the best answer. Cheers!!🍻

My mac version is 11.0.1 (20B29) MacOS Big Sur.. it opens but all white screen even with Light Mode — compski, Dec 10, 2020 at 10:24
