.getPlayer is crossed out

I am trying to make a plugin that you /hurt and it hurts you. But I keep on getting errors and I think it is the getPlayer(args[1]), the whole thing is underline and the .getPlayer is crossed out.

Code:java

package me.EthanWu13.XtremeJerks;
 
import java.util.logging.Logger;
 
import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class XJ extends JavaPlugin
{
    Logger myPluginLogger = Bukkit.getLogger();
    int i;
 
    @Override
    public void onEnable()
    {
 
    }
 
    @Override
    public void onDisable()
    {
 
    }
 
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender theSender, Command cmd, String commandLabel, String[] args)
    {
        if(theSender instanceof Player)
        {
            Player player = (Player) theSender;
 
            // hurt <PLAYER> <AMOUNT>
 
            if(commandLabel.equalsIgnoreCase("hurt"))
            {
                if(Bukkit.getPlayer(args[1]) != null)
                {
                    try
                    {
                        Player playerToHurt = Bukkit.getPlayer(args[1]);
                        double damageAmount = Double.parseDouble(args[1]);
                        playerToHurt.damage(damageAmount);
                        playerToHurt.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "You were hurted by " + player.getName());
                    }
                    catch(NumberFormatException exception)
                    {
                        player.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + args[1] + " is not a valid number!");
                    }
                }
                else player.sendMessage("Can't Find Player" + args[0]);
            }
 
 
 
 
 
        }
 
        return true;
    }
 

 

The method

Code:java

getPlayer(String)

is deprecated.
So I think you mean a 'warning', not an error .

I am not sure what deprecated actually means, but it warns you for using that certain method for future builds.
On this point, I think you can use getPlayer(String) without problems. But I am not the java legend, and someone might quote me on this

EDIT: Can you post the errors please? (stacktrace)

Don't worry about it, the warning will be removed in future updates, your code will still run fine (even though I haven't looked at it).

Bukkit is going to be using UUID's (Because minecraft is going to be using UUID's instead of String-type names/identifiers (Due to minecraft going to allow people to change their names)), so they deprecated the Bukkit.getPlayer(String name); method to warn people to change from using String identifiers to UUID's (.getUniqueID), although even if it is deprecated, it does not mean it won't work/is broken.
