How to click an item in chest menu?

[Zappic3]

Hello, I'm currently trying to create a client side mod for forge 1.18.2.

I want to quickly move an item from an open chest inventory to the player's inventory. (like shift + left click)

I found a method called "clicked". When I use that method, the item is moved, though it is only moved for the client. As soon as I interact with the item in my inventory, it disappears. It seems like the method only simulates a click for the client and doesn't apply/send the click to the world or server.

 

Here is my code:

Minecraft.getInstance().player.containerMenu.clicked(0, 0, ClickType.QUICK_MOVE, Minecraft.getInstance().player);

And here is a video showing the clicking that is done by this method:

I hope someone can help me, thanks in advance.

That will never work. Items moving between inventories needs to happen on the server.

All you are doing is creating "ghost" ItemStacks on the client.

And there is no way to send a request to the server to move the items?

To do it on the client via the screen, it will depend upon the implementation. I have never tried to do this myself.

The "correct way" to do custom processing for a Screen is to use forge's ScreenEvent.InitScreenEvent to do something like add your own button.

That button would then do a network request (you write yourself) to do the processing on the server, e.g use the inventories' ItemHandlers to move the items.

 

I can tell you, you need to be on the render thread because these methods access opengl state, e.g. whether the shift key is down.

I would start by looking at AbstractContainerScreen.mouseClicked() (or its subclass override for the Screen if it has one) so you can see what other state it references beyond the parameters you are passing and what other methods you need to call.

Thanks for your time warjort,

I found the solution by looking at the source code from the controllable mod.

For anyone that is interested, use the following method:

Minecraft.getInstance().gameMode.handleInventoryMouseClick(menu_id, slot_to_click, mouse_button, click_type, Minecraft.getInstance().player);
