New Minecart - Setting up TileEntity/Container/Gui

[Mattredsox]

Hey Forge Modders! I am currently making a mod that adds a new minecart and when you right click the minecart it opens a custom chest I have coded.

 

Inside the Entity classes I have found the interact() function with EntityPlayer. I think this is the function I need to use to open my specified Gui, Container and TileEntity.

 

Can someone help me with how I am supposed to link the new chest files with the minecart entity?

 

I really appreciate any help I can get!

 

Thanks so much!

 

 

Sincerely,

 

Mattredsox

First: You don't need a tileEntity, just have your EntityMinecartWithCustomChest implement IInventory.

Then, you have to have the GUI render things. Check out some open source mods for help.

The container adds slots, see open source mods.

If this wasn't helpful, it's 'cause I suck at doing this.

I have it working so when I right click the minecart it opens up like a small chest. The inventories are all screwed up where I dont see the items unless I click on the spot where they are. I am currently working on making a new gui,
