Updating inventory after clear?

So i use:

player.getInventory().clear();

however the player's inventory looks the same until you try to move stuff around or place a block, then it updates and actually clears the inventory. Is there any way i can fix this?

Need more information? Please ask.

 

Made this one a while ago:

It works really nicely, but people will probably suggest you use the deprecated inventory.updateInventory() call after you clear it. Odd enough, this never worked for me, but my custom packet sending code did.

 

Thanks! That worked... but it being deprecated and all... what's replacing it (or meant to replace it)?

 

Nothing really. I guess the intended way is to automatically update after changes were done. (the next tick?)
It's deprecated because this should be a built-in feature...I guess

 

Well, I havnt done much with stuff like this, but I know there is a way to send a chunk update to a client through the World object (I think). Maybe there is something fro an inventory update.
