Solved Thread with arguments

I want to animate something inside an inventory. There will be a stained glass planes rotating around, like in a slot machine .I figured, that the best way to do this is using threads (correct me if I'm wrong), but there is a problem: I can't create a thread with arguments, and I need to have variable amount of plane types. How could I solve this, or what's another way of creating animated GUIs?

@timtower Thank you for pointing that out, but my problem still stands, I don't know, how to pass arguments to a thread

 

@timtower Can you give me an example, or link one, so I can see, how it works?

EDIT: found a tutorial, thank you for helping

EDIT2: @timtower Ok, I have one more question, it seems like, that Thread.sleep doesn't work inside bukkitrunnable(Strops the whole server). What can I use to get the same effect inside a Bukkitrunnable?
