[Solved] Tile entity for item

[Manslaughter777]

So I'm trying to make an item, once you right click it, it opens a GUI & container etc... but I don't think I can use a tile entity to store data for this (cause an item isn't a tile). Is there like an alternate tile entity for items or something? Or a way to store nbt data for the container and add slots? Thnx

ItemStacks can hold NBT themselves.

ItemStacks can hold NBT themselves.

What I mean is, I want to have like a tile entity but for an item. So when I right click the item i can put stuff in different slots. (Like a backpack sort of). Something similar to the way the villager GUI screen works... (Cause the villager screen doesn't have a tile entity)

Just to clarify. You do NOT need a tile entity for an inventory you just need a class that implements IInventory. The tutorial linked by BinaryCPG explains how to create and use an IInventory class for items.

Just in case you have some interest,

 

I made some system called "ItemEntity" which is TileEntity for Items.

You don't need it in this case, but if you want some Position-Based Item functionality,

You would really need something like my "ItemEntity", as ItemStack does not contain any position information.

 

So.. if you have any interest, PM me.
