Get Item held by cursor in 1.17.1+

[Danny and Son]

In 1.15 and before, you could get the item being held/dragged by the cursor using PlayerInventory#getItemStack. This no longer seems to be the case. How do we do this now?

It's still there with the same name, if you are using 1.16 MCP mappings.

Otherwise it will be AbstractContainerMenu#getCarried.

Thank you! I did notice AbstractContainerMenu#getCarried and was able use that.

Sorry, I am maintaining my mods in 1.16.5, 1.17.1 and 1.18 right now, and I just noticed that PlayerInventory#getItemStack does indeed exist in 1.16.5 but not 1.17.1 which doesn't have PlayerInventory at all, just Inventory which does not have getItemStack.

My title should have said 1.17.1+. Sorry for the confusion.

1.17 uses Mojang names, not MCP names.

Good to know, so is there a PlayerInventory#getItemStack equivalent in the Mojang mappings, or is AbstractContainerMenu#getCarried the way to go?

I don't actually need to know at this point, and I'm not sure of any scenario where you'd need it and not have a container menu available. I'm just curious and also wondering for the benefit of someone else with the same question who finds this post.
