[1.18.1] How can I make a chest gui/selection menu?

[X_ZombieSlayer_X]

Hello all,

I currently I looking to make something like this in forge.

https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/guishop.2451/

However, I am unsure how to listen for click events(if that is even possible). Is there a way to prevent items from being removed from container and perform action on click? Currently I am using ContainerListener to listen to slotChanged. This is okay but still allows player to remove items. Is there anyway I can stop this and use less logic by listening for some slot clicked event?

-Thanks

this is not possible for vanilla Guis, you need to create a custom Gui

These plugins will use the "generic" menus (MenuType.GENERIC_9x1 - GENERIC_9x6). These are used in vanilla for chests. As the client has no idea that it must not remove items from such a menu, it will happily do so and there is no way to prevent it. You have to detect it removing something (i.e. the player picking something up) and undo the action server side immediately.

However because Forge allows client side mods there are much better options using a custom GUI.

I can detect when a slot is changed to air(item is removed), I don’t know how to remove the item from player cursor before they place it. Is there a solution to this?

 

If I wanted to go down the custom GUI route, how would I do so? What classes do I need to make a custom GUI?
