[TUTORIAL] Saving Player Inventories!

So after about a week looking for a Good Tutorial on how to Save a Players Inventory on Death, I found literally nothing that was Helpful at all, so I am here now to put all others who have had the Problem to ease, This is a Tutorial for any Level of Coders, but I recommend that you learn how to Create the Basis of a Plugin here : http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/tutorial-how-to-make-a-basic-plugin.170780/ First (if you don't know already). But without further to due Here is the Tutorial you have all been waiting for -

Firstly we want to add the extends JavaPlugin and implements Listener to the Plugin Main Class like so -

Code:

public class Main extends JavaPlugin implements Listener

Now we want to create the HashMaps that will Store and Access the Players Inventory -

Code:

public HashMap<Player, ItemStack[]> invsave = new HashMap<Player, ItemStack[]>();
 
public HashMap<Player, ItemStack[]> armorsave = new HashMap<Player, ItemStack[]>();

Now that's done we can start with the Main Body Code to Save, Store and Give the Players Inventory when Respawned -

Code:

//Player Spawn Event
@EventHandler
public void onPlayerSpawn(PlayerRespawnEvent event) {
    Player p = event.getPlayer();
    p.getInventory().setContents(invsave.get(p));
    p.getInventory().setArmorContents(armorsave.get(p));
    }
 
//Player Death Event
@EventHandler
public void onPlayerDeath(PlayerDeathEvent event) {
    if(event.getEntity() instanceof Player) {
        Player p = (Player) event.getEntity();
        if(event.getDrops() != null) {
            invsave.put(p, p.getInventory().getContents());
            armorsave.put(p, p.getInventory().getArmorContents());
            event.getDrops().clear();
            Bukkit.broadcastMessage("[" + GOLD + "FUNKits" + WHITE + "] " + RED + p.getName() + GREY + " Has been Killed!");
        }else{
            Bukkit.broadcastMessage("[" + GOLD + "FUNKits" + WHITE + "] " + RED + p.getName() + GREY + " Has been Killed!");
        }
    }
}

That's It, I Hope this has helped If not then MSG me and I will try to explain this Better for you.

NOTE : That I will be updating this Forum when I learn how to create a HashMap that will store all the Inventories even if the Player Leaves and doesn't respawn

(Don't forget to fix all errors by hovering over the Code with the Red Underline)

There is a simple way that is already implemented in the game that saves your inventory on death! Its just one command to enable it:

/gamerule keep inventory true

 

Unless you only want it for specific people...
