How to find x item in player inv and remove it if it exists

I've been looking all over for a way on how I could get an item in a player inventory and if it exists then minus by lets say 5. Anyone know how I would do this?

 

When you have an exact instance of that item do this: Loop trough all items in the inventory (for (ItemStack item.getInventory ()) if that item equals your instance decrease it as you like.

 

p.getInventory.clear(new ItemStack(Material.WOOD, 1)); replace the WOOD with the material that you wan't.
Btw. I didn't check the code, so idk if it will works

if (p.getInventory().contains(Material.YOUR_MATERIAL) {
p.getInventory.remove(Material.YOUR_MATERIAL);
}

This is how I would have done it:

Code:java

 
for(ItemStack is : p.getInventory().getContents()) {
if(is != null && is.getType() == Material.APPLE) {
if(is.getAmount() <= 5) {
p.getInventory().remove(is);
} else {
is.setAmount(is.getAmount() - 5);
}
}
}

Your code would only clear their inventory if they had one wood. Mine checks for a specific type of material
