I just came across the same topic myself and wanted to leave my solution for anyone in need in the future. Apologies if I shouldn't revive. Note: Using Forge 1.19 as of writing The quickest "two-liner" seems to be possible with a ScheduledExecutorService: ScheduledExecutorService executor = Executors.newScheduledThreadPool(1); executor.schedule(() -> doSomething(), time, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS); Disclaimer: While I've confirmed that this works, I don't know if there exist strong conventions against using custom thread code, although this is a simple use. My specific use case was to throw a burst of projectiles in sequence after right-clicking only once. If that's relevant, here's a more comprehensive example: // Implementing the Item.use method to throw multiple projectiles over time public InteractionResultHolder<ItemStack> use(Level world, Player player, InteractionHand hand) { ItemStack itemStack = player.getItemInHand(hand); int itemsToThrow = Math.min(itemStack.getCount(), BURST_COUNT); if (!world.isClientSide) { ScheduledExecutorService executor = Executors.newScheduledThreadPool(1); for(int i = 0; i < itemsToThrow; ++i) { executor.schedule(() -> throwItem(world, player, itemStack, randomsource), 200 * i, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS); } } player.awardStat(Stats.ITEM_USED.get(this), itemsToThrow); if (!player.getAbilities().instabuild) { itemStack.shrink(itemsToThrow); } return InteractionResultHolder.sidedSuccess(itemStack, world.isClientSide()); }
