Checking how much of an item a player has

I am coding a plugin and I want to check how many of a certain item a player has on death, and how much they have in their hotbar. Thanks!

 

Code:java

public void onDeath(PlayerDeathEvent e){
 
if(inventory.contains(Material.YOUR_ITEM){
 
doStuff();
 
}
 
}

Is one way to do it.

To check if it is in their hot bar specifically? Maybe create a runnable that checks inventory slots 0-8 (0 being the first slot, 8 being the last)

 

Thanks though I am trying to see how many of this item the player has. Thanks!

 

TheAnswerIsMinecraft Could loop through the inventory using a for loop, and then as you come across an ItemStack that has the proper Material, add its size to an int (or other Number) and then after, you'll have the total

 

how would I add it to an int?

 

Code:java

int count = 0;
 
for (ItemStack stack : player.getInventory().getContents()) {
  if (stack != null && stack.getType() == /*YOUR MATERIAL HERE*/) {
      count += stack.getSize();
  }
}
