Solved Can't destroy item with Player.setItemInHand(null)

I am making a Bukkit plugin, and in my plugin I need to destroy a user's held item. I am trying to use the method of

Code:java

Player.getInventory().setItemInHand(null);

to remove the item. It works in one of my classes (RobbersBladeListener), but not in another (SimoonsDealListener). I have no idea why this is happening. I've tried

Code:java

Player.setItemInHand(null);

and

Code:java

Player.getItemInHand.setAmount(0);

but none of them work in the SimoonsDealListener class.

Does anyone else have this problem? Can someone tell me why this is happening?

How about you use getInventory inbetween Player and setItemInHand(), just like you did in RobbersBladeListener?

 

I have, and it still doesn't work.

 

Do you call player.updateInventory() afterwards?

 

Try using:

Code:

player.updateInventory();

whenever you are done changing the players inventory.
If you do not update the players inventory, it will be buggy and sometimes show the update, and sometimes it just won't.

 

That worked! Thank you so much. Why is

Code:java

Player.updateInventory();

deprecated even though there is no replacement method?
