Edit or override vanilla inventory

[Jay Avery]

I want to edit the standard player inventory (to change the crafting grid size and reduce the amount of item stacks the player can carry). Is it possible to do this using forge? I know it's difficult to alter vanilla things, but is there any way? If it makes things easier, I'm not worried about compatibility with other mods, because mine will only be used by itself.

Cancel the GuiOpenEvent when the gui is the player inventory, and open your own inventory from there.

That will change the GUI but it won't allow me to edit the actual itemstacks the player can carry, will it?

If you send a packet to the server, you can use an

IGuiHandler

to open a custom

Container

as well as a custom

Gui

.

 

P.S. There may be other, better ways, but this is the only way I know of.

I believe there is a OpenContainerEvent or similar name same function.

 

*Edit You can not use OpenContainerEvent as for why Diesieben explains just below this.

Yes there is, but it will not work for the player inventory, or at least not how you expect.

As far as the server is concerned you are always interacting with a Container, if it's not a chest or something you are interacting with the inventory container. The server does not actually have any idea whether you are currently actually looking at the inventory screen or not.

That is actually good to know, thanks for the information.
