Issues with dropping items

Ok so, I am attempting to drop only the items in the hotbar on death. Everything runs fine with no errors. However upon death it still drops all items.

What am I doing wrong?
My code

Code:java

package achap1989.hotbardrop;
package achap1989.hotbardrop;
 
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.entity.PlayerDeathEvent;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class HotBarDrop extends JavaPlugin implements Listener {
 
@EventHandler
public void onPlayerDeath(PlayerDeathEvent e) {
e.getDrops().clear();
 
Player p = e.getEntity();
for(int i = 0; i <=8; i++){
p.getWorld().dropItemNaturally(p.getLocation(), p.getInventory().getItem(i));
}
 
}
}
 

 

Well, I Can tell you right now you don't even have your event registered.

 

mydeblob , even when I register the event it still drops every item. Am I registering it wrong?

Added Code

Code:java

Bukkit.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);

Complete Code

Code:java

package achap1989.hotbardrop;
package achap1989.hotbardrop;
 
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.entity.PlayerDeathEvent;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class HotBarDrop extends JavaPlugin implements Listener {
 
@EventHandler
public void onPlayerDeath(PlayerDeathEvent e) {
Bukkit.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);
e.getDrops().clear();
 
Player p = e.getEntity();
for(int i = 0; i <=8; i++){
p.getWorld().dropItemNaturally(p.getLocation(), p.getInventory().getItem(i));
}
 
}
}

You aren't registering it in the correct location. It needs to be registered in your onEnable.
Example Code

Code:java

package achap1989.hotbardrop;
package achap1989.hotbardrop;
 
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.entity.PlayerDeathEvent;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class HotBarDrop extends JavaPlugin implements Listener {
public void onEnable(){
Bukkit.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);
}
@EventHandler
public void onPlayerDeath(PlayerDeathEvent e) {
e.getDrops().clear();
 
Player p = e.getEntity();
for(int i = 0; i <=8; i++){
p.getWorld().dropItemNaturally(p.getLocation(), p.getInventory().getItem(i));
}
 
}
}

 

Read this.

 

It simply errors out on my death I mean you are helping and getting me somewhere however being new to this kind of screws me xD Sorry to have to ask again but what on earth am I still doing wrong?

You need to check if the player is holding nothing in their hotbar. Just do a simple if loop checking if the hotbar has any null, or spots that have nothing, in it. And if it does, do nothing.
