How can I draw something for only a couple seconds?

[Premiere]

Hello, I want to draw something to the screen for a couple seconds, like for example, when I join a server, for a 5 seconds it will draw to the screen "Hi new player!". I know how to draw text to the screen, but the part where it will only draw for a few seconds. I get that it says that this is NOT a Java school but I really don't know any other forums I should go to besides SpigotMC.

Use the ClientTickEvent to count ticks. 1 tick happens 1/20 of a second. Aka 20 times per second.

I'm fine with using this, and what I am trying to do is working, but are there any other ways to do this? A friend of mine is using Mod Coder Pack and messing around and has been bugging me about how to do basically the same thing because he saw what I did, if you don't know how, it is ok, I was just wondering if you knew. Thanks!
