How do I do this? Spigot plugin

Question

So, I wrote a rescue bar plugin, where if you right click on a blaze bar you get a block underneath. Now I want that block to disappear after 5 seconds, I guess this could be done with a simple runnabel, I just don't know how. I just started writing this plugin. IntelliJ idea, java. Sorry, I translate with google.

Does this answer your question? [java: run a function after a specific number of seconds](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2258066/java-run-a-function-after-a-specific-number-of-seconds) — dan1st, Jun 25 '21 at 08:17

When you place the block you could run a delayed task, which runs 100 ticks later (1 second is 20 ticks) and remove the block there (set it to air)

Bukkit.getScheduler().sheduleSyncDelayedTask(this, new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
        // Remove the block here
        // block.setType(Material.Air)
    }
}, 100L);

For more information on using Bukkit Scheudler look at this entry in the bukkit wiki.
