Solved Force a Player to drop an Item

I'm going to skip the backstory about this, I'll post it if you need.

I want a player to drop an item as if they actually dropped it out of their hand. If I get their location and drop an item at their location, they immediately pick it back up (like when you break a block, you can pick it up immediately). This does not work for my case, because when a player drops an item normally, there is a small delay before they or another person can pick that item up, I want it to have a delay like they dropped it.

Note. Everything I googled just tells people to drop an item at their location.

 

@WavyWonders
Drop an item at the player location, remove the item from the player inventory, and prevent the player from picking up an item for a certain time (I believe using a bukkit runnable).

 

Meh, I guess that'd work.

 

Btw, I was having problems with that, never got it to work, but I got another way to do it:

Code:

ItemStack item = player.getItemInHand();
player.getInventory().remove(item);
Item itemDropped = player.getWorld().dropItemNaturally(player.getLocation(), item);
itemDropped.setPickupDelay(40);
