Have an Array of ItemStacks you want to be included as a random ItemStack. Use Java's Random object to generate a number between 0 and the Array's max size. Then choose the ItemStack object based on the randomly created number.

 

I would recommend saving the MATERIAL instead (e.g STONE, DIRT) and saving them to a config because array lists get cleared on reload and on shutdown.

 

Can You Show me how .. Please

 

ok sure why not but you better give me some treats for this

I'm gonna spoonfeed you just because I feel like it. But bare in mind that you will have to change some stuff.

Code:java

public void giveGift(Player p) {
ArrayList<ItemStack> gifts = new ArrayList<ItemStack>();
 
gifts.add(new ItemStack(Material.DIAMOND, 1));
gifts.add(new ItemStack(Material.GOLD_BLOCK, 1));
gifts.add(new ItemStack(Material.DIRT, 1));
gifts.add(new ItemStack(Material.DIAMOND_BLOCK, 1));
gifts.add(new ItemStack(Material.EMERALD, 1));
 
Random random = new Random();
 
int randomItem = random.nextInt(gifts.size());
 
ItemStack gift = gifts.get(randomItem);
 
p.getInventory().addItem(gift);
}
