[1.7.2] Opening The Chest Gui

[loawkise]

How would I open the default chest gui so that I can give my custom entity an inventory, or is that not how it works.

Okay thanks for clearing that up.

You will have to make your own Gui. Look on the wiki for a Tutorial.

Not entirely, if you want to use the default chest gui, you can implement the IInventory interface to your entity and call EntityPlayer#displayGUIChest.

 

Basically take a look in net.minecraft.entity.item.EntityMinecartContainer.

I've done something similar in the past.  You can pass your own container/inventory to the the standard large chest GUI and make it work. 

 

However, if you want to do anything unique or really do it right, follow what diesieben07 said and make your own.
