Posted March 25, 20169 yr I am making a block for my mod and I want it to have an inventory like a chest. I've tried looking at the chest to see how to do it but I can't figure it out. Can someone help?
March 25, 20169 yr You need to assign TileEntity to your block. Look e.g BlockFurnace. Then, you need a TileEntity (don't forget to register it) which has inventory (depending on version, but you probably want to implement IInventory). Once that is done, you need Container (thing that represents slots in TileEntity) and GuiContainer (a display of Container for client). + You may need packets, but only if you will need dynamic updates of Block/TileEntity. There are many tuts on this + vanilla source. 1.7.10 is no longer supported by forge, you are on your own.
March 25, 20169 yr You need to assign TileEntity to your block. Look e.g BlockChest. Fixed that for you. Protip: If you want to do something like [X] go look at the code for [X]. It's almost like it'll tell you how to do it. Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable. If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME. Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice. Exception: If you do not understand Java, I WILL NOT HELP YOU and your thread will get locked. DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.
