I'm finding the way to make a Single thread cooldown but get stuck. In the class who manages the cooldown I created a:

private HashMap<UUID,Integer> players = new HashMap<>();

//UUID = Player UUID
//Integer = Time in cooldown (Seconds)

public void run(){
for(UUID player : players){
    //WHAT I NEED TO DO HERE?
    if(//Time == 0){
      players.remove(player);
      }
   }
}

Didn't use an IDE hopefully I didn't miss an error that eclipse would have picked up.

But how I can get the integer and save it with a second less?

TimeUnit is used for delaying a process, as it could be used as followed:

TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(1);

This will delay the current thread by one second.

I won't suggest using it, because your situation sounds more like a thread is working in the background and you want to wait till it has finished! Therefore use the new feature isAlive, which could be used in a (while) loop.

Edit

If you do want to delay a thread from another thread over the instance, then I'd suggest using the sleep method.

Example:

myThread.sleep(1000);

This will delay myThread by one second.

Edit #2

To change a value for a certain key of a HashMap, use the put and get method.

Example:

// Get the time of a player and subtract it by one
Integer value = players.get(player) - 1;
// Update the value
players.put(player, value);

// If the time runs out, than delete the player
if (value == 0){
    players.remove(player);
}
