I am trying to make a GUI. It is supposed to replace the normal inventory. I made a keybind and such and here's the procedure when E is released:

package net.the_typholorian.skilled.procedures;

import net.the_typholorian.skilled.world.inventory.InventoryGUIMenu;

import net.minecraftforge.server.ServerLifecycleHooks;
import net.minecraftforge.network.NetworkHooks;

import net.minecraft.world.level.LevelAccessor;
import net.minecraft.world.inventory.AbstractContainerMenu;
import net.minecraft.world.entity.player.Player;
import net.minecraft.world.entity.player.Inventory;
import net.minecraft.world.entity.Entity;
import net.minecraft.world.MenuProvider;
import net.minecraft.server.level.ServerPlayer;
import net.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer;
import net.minecraft.network.chat.Component;
import net.minecraft.network.FriendlyByteBuf;
import net.minecraft.core.BlockPos;

import io.netty.buffer.Unpooled;

public class OpenInventoryProcedure {
public static void execute(LevelAccessor world, double x, double y, double z, Entity entity) {
if (entity == null)
return;
if (entity instanceof Player _plr ? _plr.containerMenu instanceof InventoryGUIMenu : false) {
if (entity instanceof Player _player) {
_player.closeContainer();
}
if (!world.isClientSide()) {
MinecraftServer _mcserv = ServerLifecycleHooks.getCurrentServer();
if (_mcserv != null)
_mcserv.getPlayerList().broadcastSystemMessage(Component.literal("close"), false);
}
} else if (!(entity instanceof Player _plr ? _plr.containerMenu instanceof InventoryGUIMenu : false)) {
{
if (entity instanceof ServerPlayer _ent) {
BlockPos _bpos = new BlockPos(x, y, z);
NetworkHooks.openScreen((ServerPlayer) _ent, new MenuProvider() {
@Override
public Component getDisplayName() {
return Component.literal("InventoryGUI");
}

@Override
public AbstractContainerMenu createMenu(int id, Inventory inventory, Player player) {
return new InventoryGUIMenu(id, inventory, new FriendlyByteBuf(Unpooled.buffer()).writeBlockPos(_bpos));
}
}, _bpos);
}
}
if (!world.isClientSide()) {
MinecraftServer _mcserv = ServerLifecycleHooks.getCurrentServer();
if (_mcserv != null)
_mcserv.getPlayerList().broadcastSystemMessage(Component.literal("open"), false);
}
}
}
}

I added text messages for debugging. It opens the inventory just fine, but it does not close or send the message in chat. It can only close by pressing 'Escape', which closes all GUIs. Can somebody help me?

Found the issue. I think that the keybind does not work when the GUI is open. How to fix?

What do I do with it? Do I just put it in the ModKeyMappings.java?

New issue. I got the keybind to work, but I have an issue with the procedure. It opens the GUI, but closes it nearly instantly. I set it to run the procedure when the key gets released. Here's my procedure code:

package net.the_typholorian.skilled.procedures;

import net.the_typholorian.skilled.world.inventory.InventoryGUIMenu;

import net.minecraftforge.server.ServerLifecycleHooks;
import net.minecraftforge.network.NetworkHooks;

import net.minecraft.world.level.LevelAccessor;
import net.minecraft.world.inventory.AbstractContainerMenu;
import net.minecraft.world.entity.player.Player;
import net.minecraft.world.entity.player.Inventory;
import net.minecraft.world.entity.Entity;
import net.minecraft.world.MenuProvider;
import net.minecraft.server.level.ServerPlayer;
import net.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer;
import net.minecraft.network.chat.Component;
import net.minecraft.network.FriendlyByteBuf;
import net.minecraft.core.BlockPos;

import io.netty.buffer.Unpooled;

public class InventoryProcedureProcedure {
public static void execute(LevelAccessor world, double x, double y, double z, Entity entity) {
if (entity == null)
return;
boolean Disabler = false;
Disabler = false;
if ((entity instanceof Player _plr ? _plr.containerMenu instanceof InventoryGUIMenu : false) && Disabler == false) {
if (!world.isClientSide()) {
MinecraftServer _mcserv = ServerLifecycleHooks.getCurrentServer();
if (_mcserv != null)
_mcserv.getPlayerList().broadcastSystemMessage(Component.literal("close"), false);
}
if (entity instanceof Player _player)
_player.closeContainer();
Disabler = true;
}
if (!(entity instanceof Player _plr ? _plr.containerMenu instanceof InventoryGUIMenu : false) && Disabler == false) {
if (!world.isClientSide()) {
MinecraftServer _mcserv = ServerLifecycleHooks.getCurrentServer();
if (_mcserv != null)
_mcserv.getPlayerList().broadcastSystemMessage(Component.literal("open"), false);
}
{
if (entity instanceof ServerPlayer _ent) {
BlockPos _bpos = new BlockPos(x, y, z);
NetworkHooks.openScreen((ServerPlayer) _ent, new MenuProvider() {
@Override
public Component getDisplayName() {
return Component.literal("InventoryGUI");
}

@Override
public AbstractContainerMenu createMenu(int id, Inventory inventory, Player player) {
return new InventoryGUIMenu(id, inventory, new FriendlyByteBuf(Unpooled.buffer()).writeBlockPos(_bpos));
}
}, _bpos);
}
}
Disabler = true;
}
}
}

Update: I did some investigating and it is running twice. I thought it was running on server and client, and added some code to fix that but it wasn't the problem. 

This is a bit messy and could be implemented so much easier and cleaner. Just create your own AbstractContainerMenu at this point and have your own AbstractContainerScreen, make sure you override the stillValid() method in your Menu class and do whatever logic you deem necessary to keep that container open for that player.

It should run twice, it does logic on both sides. 

But it runs the command twice, which opens it then closes it immediately. Can you give me some example code for what you mentioned?

Create a new abstractcontainermenu, attach a screen to it, override isValid to return true with given logic, then call the menu wherever you seem it is fit.

No, like can you show me some code? I am still new to coding.
