[SOLVED] Neither of my BlockEntities are exposing their inventories through capabilities

[Tenth]

I have two BlockEntities, SteamBoiler and SlightlyBiggerChest

SteamBoiler should be able to have Steam piped in and out. SlightlyBiggerChest is a Beta styled chest that should be able to have items inputted and extracted.

Problem is, Hoppers aren't interfacing with SlightlyBiggerChest, and pipes (from Mekanism) aren't interfacing with SteamBoiler.

Entity Classes: SlightlyBiggerChestEntity, SteamBoilerEntity. GitHub: Factory

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

It doesn't look like `#hasBlockEntity` returns true on the blocks which is probably my guess just from looking at it.

Both blocks are using #newBlockEntity and pointing to their respective block entity classes, so I'm a little confused as to why that would be.

I'm not sure what that has to do with a different method not returning true. Sorry, thought the version you were using was 1.18. I would recommend using a breakpoint in your IDE to follow the call for the hopper to see where it goes wrong.

I put breakpoints everywhere and couldn't discern the issue. Then... I realized that I used the wrong #getCapability method in both BlockEntity classes. 🤦‍♂️Never realized there were two of them, but yeah I needed to use the one accepting a Capability and Direction and not the one only accepting a Capability.

Thanks for the help.
