1.20.4 Solved 1.20.4 How can I edit the contents of a tile entity from outside?

[Bunnly]

Hello! I have a tile entity and want it so if a player is holding an item and right clicks my tile entity, the item will be inserted in slot 5. How can I do this? I have a use() and made it so the inventory gui will open if you shift right click the block.

On the server for the Item's useOn, you need to get hold of the block's IItemHandler capability and use that to modify the inventory.

The block can be found using the UseOnContext.hitResult

See also (in case you need to override the default rules):

Alternatively, if it is your block, you can change Block.use() to check what the player is holding when they right click from the passed Player/InteractionHand.

I solved it. I made a public Boolean() and a few others to do this. blockEntity.blah() 

I am so bad at explaining
