Solved Inventory Manipulation

Code:java

package jjbat_000.servermenu;
 
import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.EventPriority;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerLoginEvent;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack;
import org.bukkit.inventory.meta.ItemMeta;
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
 
 
public class Login implements Listener {
    @EventHandler(priority = EventPriority.HIGH)
    public void onLogin(PlayerLoginEvent event) {
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.COMPASS));
        /*
        String myDisplayName = ChatColor.GREEN + "Server Selector";
        ItemStack Compass = new ItemStack(Material.COMPASS);
        ItemMeta im = Compass.getItemMeta();
        im.setDisplayName(myDisplayName);
        Compass.setItemMeta(im);*/ // Will be worked on later.
    }
 
}

Hi, I'm trying to make a plugin to where when a player logs in they receive a compass. This is my listener class. For some reason I do not receive the compass when I test the plugin. I get an error when I do player.getInventory().addItem(Material.COMPASS); so I used player.getInventory().addItem(new ItemStack(Material.COMPASS));

change PlayerLoginEvent to PlayerJoinEvent and that should fix your error if it doesn't let me know

Yep, that works thanks. I never knew there was a difference between PlayerLoginEvent and PlayerJoinEvent Mind clarifying?

This event is used when the player first presses the connect button to login to the server. You usually check here if a player is banned, etc

PlayerJoinEvent

This event is called when a player has successfully logged onto the server.
This is the event you use if you want to have a motd. Or just a welcome message.

Got this from another post because to be honest I didn't know the difference either but this pretty much tells you the
difference!

 

Alright, thanks!
