[Tutorial] Removing Items From Inventory

Hello, I'm eMediaCrisis, and today I will be showing you how to manipulate player inventories.
I'm making this tutorial because I know it was a pain to learn how to remove items
with out having one left over, or not removing it at all.

So, here is the code to remove an item from an inventory.

Code:

if (player.getItemInHand().getAmount() == 1)
{
player.setItemInHand(new ItemStack(Material.AIR, 1));
event.setCancelled(true);
}
 
else
{
player.getInventory.removeItem(new ItemStack[] { // YOUR DECLARED ITEM STACK });
}

I find that it works really well, but if you have better code, I would like to see it too!

PHP:

@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
public static void removeItem(Player p){
    ItemStack removeItem = new ItemStack(p.getItemInHand().getTypeId(), p.getItemInHand().getAmount() - 1);
    p.setItemInHand(removeItem);
    p.updateInventory();
}

I see this as a better solution.

 

Why use getTypeId when you can use getType?

 

Free country.

 

Who said were all Americans? EvilSeph isn't American, nor was Dinnerbone.

 

Well, there goes nothing
