How can i delay commands?

i have some code:

Code:java

player.setVelocity(new Vector(0 , 1, 0));
 
 player.getWorld().createExplosion(player.getLocation(), (float) 4.0);

how can i put a delay inbetween with out freezing the whole server. the idea is to get the player to fly in the air then explode. these both work fine but because it all happens so fast its like you explode and the knockback launches you in the air. please help me!

im very new to coding plugins. its going to take me a while to learn.

 

Schedulers.

Funny, I did the same thing in my plugin a few days ago xD
Use schedulers.

Code:java

Bukkit.getServer()
.getScheduler()
.scheduleSyncDelayedTask(plugin,
new Runnable() {
public void run() {
//What you want to run
}
}, 10L);//How many ticks before it runs it

 

thnx you guys
