I need help with using a capability to save/load slots in my custom inventory.

I know that I would need to Use SlotItemHandler for the slots and the ItemHandler would be the capability:

Player player = playerInventory.player;

IItemHandler itemHandlerModifiable = player.getCapability(/*Capabiltiy here*/, null).orElseThrow(() -> new NullPointerException("Capability<InvCapability> is null"));

How would I make a capability for this or does forge have one that I can use.

you don't need a custom Capability, you could use Forge's ItemHandlerCapability 

Just as I thought...

How would I use ItemHandlerCapability for the container?

 

Edit: I cant find ItemHandlerCapability class.

Edit Again I got it working with

public static Capability<IItemHandler> ITEM_HANDLER_CAPABILITY = CapabilityManager.get(new CapabilityToken<>(){});

but now the slots are filled with items in the hotbar slots.

ups, haven't seen that your create a Backpack, means you can't use the ItemHandlerCapability since the Capability is already attached to the Player
but you could create a Capability which is similar to the ItemHandlerCapability

Ok here is my capability classes

My Capability:

Spoiler

@Mod.EventBusSubscriber(modid = TestMod.MOD_ID, bus = Mod.EventBusSubscriber.Bus.MOD)
public class AstroInvCapability extends ItemStackHandler implements IAstroInv {

    public AstroInvCapability(int size) {
        super(size);
    }

    @CapabilityInject(IAstroInv.class)
    public static Capability<IAstroInv> SPELL = null;

    public static void register() {
        CapabilityManager.INSTANCE.register(IAstroInv.class);
    }

    @Override
    public CompoundTag serializeNBT() {
        CompoundTag nbt = new CompoundTag();

        return nbt;
    }

    @Override
    public void deserializeNBT(CompoundTag nbt) {

    }

}

My Provider:

Spoiler

public class AstroInvProvider implements ICapabilitySerializable<CompoundTag> {

    private final AstroInvCapability instance = new AstroInvCapability(8);
    private final LazyOptional<IAstroInv> invLazyOptional = LazyOptional.of(() -> instance);

    @Nonnull
    @Override
    public <T> LazyOptional<T> getCapability(@Nonnull Capability<T> cap, @Nullable Direction side) {
        return invLazyOptional.cast();
    }

    public void invalidate() {
        invLazyOptional.invalidate();
    }

    @Override
    public CompoundTag serializeNBT() {
        return instance.serializeNBT();
    }

    @Override
    public void deserializeNBT(CompoundTag nbt) {

        instance.deserializeNBT(nbt);
    }
}

 

And my IAstroInv just extends IItemHandlerModifiable

 

And it works... Until I quit the game and the items are no longer in the slots.

How do I fix the items disappearing after I quit the game?

 

Edit: I'm an idiot and I forgot to add super.serializeNBT(); and super.deserializeNBT(nbt); .

And last question how do I have the player drop all the  items on death?

you need to drop the inventory in LivingDeathEvent via Containers#dropContents

Sorry for the slow response. I have solve the problems Thanks.
