    At the moment I'm iterating through the player's inventory and attempting to clear a particular slot using slot.setAmount(0) and slot.setType(Material.AIR) but this doesn't do anything.

    How should this be done?
     
  2. when iterating, I recommend to do it with a for loop with an int that loops from 0 to the size of the inventory, and then get the itemstack with inv.getItem(int) and then set the item in the inventory with inv.setItem(int, itemstack). And when you're done with the loop use player.updateInventory() to actually update the inventory.

    There are plenty of ways to do this

    Did you update the player inventory?
    Code:
    player.getInventory().getItem(index).setType(Material.AIR);
    
    player.updateInventory();
    
    You can use the setItem(index, itemstack) method
    Code:
    player.getInventory().setItem(index, null);
    
    Then there is a no recommended deprecated method #remove(index)
    Code:
    player.getInventory().remove(index);
    
    Leave a like if you feel i helped :)

    Thank you the setItem() method worked great. It must be a bug because I tested setType(Material.WOOD) and it worked fine but setType(Material.AIR) did nothing. Oh well cheers :)
     
  5. @Scullyking If you are removing with setItem use null not Material.AIR
