Need Help With MUTE - Certain Time

Hey there, I've got a fully functioning mute command here. However, it can only mute for permanent. Here's my code:

The ArrayList:

Code:java

public ArrayList<String> mute = new ArrayList<String>();

The Command:

Code:java

  if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("mute")){
      if (player.hasPermission("mute.player")){
 
          if (args.length == 0){
              player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "Punishment> " + ChatColor.RED + "Please specify the player's name & the duration.");
              return false;
          } else if (args.length == 1){
 
              Player target = Bukkit.getServer().getPlayer(args[0]);
              if (target == null) {
                  player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "Punishment> " + ChatColor.GRAY + "0 matches for " + ChatColor.RED + args[0] + ChatColor.GRAY + ".");
                  return false;
          } else{
              mute.add(target.getName());
              player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "Punishment> " + ChatColor.GREEN + target.getName() + ChatColor.GRAY + " was muted.");
              target.sendMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "Punishment> " + ChatColor.GRAY + "You were muted by " + ChatColor.GREEN + player.getName() + ChatColor.GRAY + ".");
              Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "Punishment> " + ChatColor.YELLOW + player.getName() + ChatColor.GRAY + " muted " + ChatColor.YELLOW + target.getName() +
                      ChatColor.GRAY + " for " + ChatColor.GREEN + "Permanent" + ChatColor.GRAY + ".");
              return true;
          }
      }
  } else{
      player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GRAY + "This requires the permission rank " + ChatColor.GRAY + "[" + ChatColor.RED + "ADMIN" + ChatColor.GRAY + "]");
  }
 
  }

The Event:

Code:java

  @EventHandler(priority = EventPriority.HIGHEST)
  public void onPlayerChat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent event){
  if (mute.contains(event.getPlayer().getName())){
      event.getPlayer().sendMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "Punishment> " + ChatColor.GRAY + "Shhhh! Your muted!");
      event.setCancelled(true);
  } else{
      event.setCancelled(false);
  }
  }

Both of the code segments above are in the same class.

As you can see in my command I have mute.add(target.getName()); I would like it to be something like: mute.add(target.getName(), 20); The 20 is for 1 second of mute.

Thanks in advance!

 

Capture the date of the mute, and then in the chat event compare dates and check if the time has passed. If it has - let him speak, and remove him from the list. If it has not - don't let him speak. Also, I suggest using a list in the config or any YML file, so if the server reloads the mutes won't reset. For the capturing, you could create a class containing the player, the time to be muted, and the date of the mute, and then have a list of all of these classes.
