Solved Removing nearby entities within radius

Hi. I'm using the below to remove all dropped signs in the radius of 5 around a player:

Code:java

 
    public void removeItems(String pName) {
        String playerName = pName;
        Player player = Bukkit.getPlayer(playerName);
        List<Entity> nearby = player.getNearbyEntities(10, 10, 10);
        for (Entity entity : nearby) {
            if(entity instanceof Item) {
                Item item = (Item) entity;
                if(item.getType() == Material.SIGN) {
                    entity.remove();
                }
            }
        }
    }
 

I'm getting an eclipse from error saying 'Incompatible operand types EntityType and Material' even though I've cast Item to the item variable.

Any help is appreciated, thank you!

You have to get the ItemStack represented by the Item first:
