Setting Max Health not working?

On the player join event, I set the Max Health to 40 (20 hearts), yet, whenever I log in, only 10 hearts are shown filled, and the other 10 hearts can't be regenerated.

Code:

    @EventHandler
    public void playerSetHealth(final PlayerJoinEvent e){
                e.getPlayer().setMaxHealth(40D);
                e.getPlayer().setHealthScaled(false);
                e.getPlayer().setHealth(e.getPlayer().getMaxHealth());
 
    }

Try taking the line e.getPlayer().setHealthScaled(false ); out... I've successfully set the players' health many time without that line...

 

Are you registering your event correctly?

 

rsod is correct.
If you aren't registering your events correctly, or at all, then the event won't happen.
To register your event, you need to put this under you onEnable void.

Code:

getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);
