Deprecated - player.updateInventory()

I came across this while coding today, and I've always been simply suppressing the warnings.
I was wondering though, is this line still neccessary? Or is there another method that does it better?
For that matter, do you even need to update the player's inventory anymore after giving them an item?

I suggest you do continue to use that
method it is more efficient

 

GodzOfMadness ok, thanks. I guess I'll keep using updateInventory()

 

Then why is it deprecated....?

 

I am not to sure but it is more efficient
from my experience it is depricated because it was replaced by something or just for an unkown reason
but it is still good to use it so yea.

 

Yeah, I noticed this when I made a plugin. I just ignored it, and everything works fine.

 

I would always use it if you get the chance because
sometimes there might be glitched items in your inventory then it could cause
memory issues possibly

 

It's deprecated because it doesn't fix that actual underlying issue that inventories aren't automatically updated. Bukkit staff has never gotten around to fixing it though.
