Getting Items in Slot

[ninjapancakes87]

How do you retrieve what item is in the given slot of a custom gui?  Im trying to get whats in slot 0 and 1 of my custom cannon block, and the this.te.getStackInSlot(0).getItem() always returns null.  I made sure I did

private ItemStack[] cannonItemStacks = new ItemStack[2];[/code} in my Tile Entity.  Is there a different method that should be used?

ItemStack#getItem()

Ive never used a # before in code.  How do I use it?

[Draco18s]

You don't.  It is indicating that that method is accessible with an instance of item stack.

 

ItemStack.someMethod() //static method

ItemStack#someOtherMethod() //non-static method

Oh Ok thanks

That's what I already have.  I get the ItemStack in the slot, and then do .getItem().  It still returns null when an item is in it.  Is there anything else?

Slot which don't contain an item typically return null.

Your method for retrieving is good, but your method for putting the item in the slot isn't...if you didn't forget to code one, that is.

Both slots are full, so I know its not that.  As for my setting method, i have a setInventorySlotContents method thats exactly the same as the furnace method.  Is there anything else along the way which could alter it?
