    I am making a plugin, and I tried to make an inventory menu, and I was told to use player.openInventory(inventory) , but that does not seem to work, and the code is not recognised as something that can be done?

    Is there a different way I can make a player open an inventory?

    Are you sure because it does work.
    What are you trying to do, post a snippet of what you have atm

    Answering your question, yes there is but it involves quite a bit of NMS and is pointless since it is what is done more or less by openInventory(Inventory param).

    Now, in order to solve your overall problem, can you please show us your code that isnt working and we can spend some time on it trying to identify what is wrong with it.

    You mean there is an error?

    This is the skeleton of an inventory creation:
    Code:
    Inventory inv = Bukkit.CreateInventory("Args here");
    //Set the items here if you want
    Player#openInventory(inv);
    Are you sure you are doing something like this?

    EDIT: I have managed to fix it, but there is still an error:
    For some reason this code isn't working:
    Code:
    @EventHandler
    public void onInventoryClick(InventoryClickEvent e){
    Player clicker = (Player) e.getWhoClicked();
    ItemStack clicked = e.getCurrentItem();
    Inventory inventory = e.getInventory();
    if (inventory.getName().equals(myInventory.getName())){
         if (clicked.getType() == Material.BARRIER){
             Bukkit.broadcastMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Chat was silenced by " + clicker.getName());
             e.setCancelled(true);
             clicker.closeInventory();
             }
         }
    }
    
    When I click on the barrier, nothing happens, and it lets me take it from the inventory. It seems like that part of the code is not activating

    I don't think the player's inventory has a title (btw, use Inventory#getTitle() instead). Tried using if (e.getInventory() instanceof PlayerInventory)?

    Edit: misunderstood your problem
    If you opened an inventory before, try using clicker.getOpenInventory().getTopInventory() or something like that

    Have you tried using getTitle instead?

    No, how would I use that?

    Also what did I do wrong in my code two posts ago that is stopping it from working?

    getTitle returns the name of the inventory, so change getName to getTitle

    Okay, I will try it, thanks

    Also, try debugging by writing a sysout after each line with 1,2,3,4,5... incrementing by 1 with each sysout and then check, where the code fails.
    BTW: you don't do a null check, so if you click on an empty slot, you'll get an error

    Added a null check, and changed to getTitle(), still didn't work.

    I did a sysout debug, and it didn't print anything out. The only conclusion could be that the onInventoryClick event is not being recognised when I click on the item.

    @ItsMas_ Did you register the event?

    Code:
    if (inventory.getName().equals(myInventory.getName())) {
         e.setCancelled(true);
         if (clicked.getType() == Material.BARRIER){
             Bukkit.broadcastMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Chat was silenced by " + clicker.getName());
             clicker.closeInventory();
             }
         }
    }
    @ItsMas_ This isn't to fix it, just a better way to cancel the event of taking the item from the inventory.

    Why not inventory.equals(myInventory) instead?

    Solved. I stupidly forgot to register the event. Thanks for all your help everyone.
