Development Assistance Item isn't read properly somehow..

Code:

    @EventHandler
    public void onDropItem(PlayerDropItemEvent e) {
        Player p = e.getPlayer();

        if (!e.getItemDrop().getItemStack().hasItemMeta()) {
            p.sendMessage("meta was null");
            return;
        }
        p.sendMessage("Item Name: " + e.getItemDrop()); //returns CraftItem
        Item paper = e.getItemDrop();
        p.sendMessage("Name " +  paper.getItemStack().getItemMeta().getDisplayName()); //returns Clue (Orange colored)
        String pa = ChatColor.stripColor(paper.getItemStack().getItemMeta().getDisplayName());
        p.sendMessage("Uncolored " + pa); returns Clue
        p.sendMessage("config name: " + plugin.settings.getString("clue.name")); // returns &6Clue
        if (pa.equalsIgnoreCase(plugin.settings.getString("clue.name"))) {
            if (!plugin.dropattempt.containsKey(p.getUniqueId())) {
                int fade = plugin.settings.getInt("Titles.playerdrop.fadein");
                int stay = plugin.settings.getInt("Titles.playerdrop.stay");
                int fadeout = plugin.settings.getInt("Titles.playerdrop.fadeout");
                String title = plugin.settings.getString("Titles.playerdrop.title");
                String subtitle = plugin.settings.getString("Titles.playerdrop.subtitle");
                TitleAPI.sendTitle(p, fade, stay, fadeout, title, subtitle);
                plugin.dropattempt.put(p.getUniqueId(), "yes");
                e.setCancelled(true);
            }
        }
    }

All sections point out exacly what it should in my eyes i don't see where its going wrong i tried to check colored and uncolored versions of the names but this: if (pa.equalsIgnoreCase(plugin.settings.getString("clue.name"))) {

Never seems to work and im running out of idea's why it does so..

Config section:

clue:
name: '&6Clue'

 

Put some breakpoints in your code and debug it maybe? Any modern IDE can do this.

 

im checking for itemmeta and displayname both are filled, i also checked if the location of the clue is filled and thats not null either
