[1.10.2] Constantly Update GUI

[AnZaNaMa]

I've got my gui working and everything, but it only renders it when I open it, then it doesn't update beyond that until I close it and open it again. How can I fix this? I've looked all around and can't find anything on constantly updating GUIs as long as theyre open. Do I need to have an EventHandler for the render event or something and have it check every single frame if the GUI is open?

You are obviously doing something wrong, but without any code we cannot help you.

I don't think I'm doing anything wrong, just the container GUI will not update unless I tell it to... here's my code for things that might be related.

 

I have an ItemPersonalGenerator that holds an inventory with an NBT-based IInventory implementation (yeah, I know I need to change it to use capabilities and whatnot instead but I haven't gotten to that yet).

Look into ContainerFurnace and look for IContainerListener (not sure if container ia correct) that is how data is synced between server to client when dealing with guis

I will look into that thanks but what i really need is not to sync the data. It's already synced fine. I just want to know how to make it redraw the gui every frame as long as it's open.

drawContainer.... is already called "every frame"
