So, I simply can not seem to get my container slots to link up with the GUI I'm working on. It seems that when using addSlotToContainer() (correct as far as I can tell), it is just putting the slot at absolute coordinate values on the screen, which of course does not work with different screen sizes. I am aware that the slots should be relative to the GUI image itself so that it scales correctly, but every tutorial I have found gives me the same code, which of course isn't working for me. I'm assuming that I am either just missing something, or am going about this wrong. I am only adding the player's hotbar slots until I can get this working, but even with them in the wrong position, they aren't working anyway (e.g. picking up items out of the slots).

For Reference:

Thanks in advance!

I think your container isn't updating correctly, cause you need the "detectAndSendChanges()" methode to sync a client with the actual magi  inside a GUI. I would recommend taking a peek at a vanilla container  class to see how the methode should look like.

Yes, removing my InitGui() override fixed it as far as I can tell, will do some more testing when I'm home. I must have had that left over from some testing with sliders earlier.

 

Thank you very much.
