Hello there mcforge forums,

 

So i was helping someone else with coding a custom machine working with the energy capability and saw that he used IInventory for his TE, i know that that shouldn't be used as its vanilla code and forge suggests to use the IItemHandler capability, so i rewrote the machine, now i only have a little bit of a problem as i wanted to make a container for it. But i needed an IInventory to add slots to the container. So i figured that i'd make a new instance of the slot and make it compatible with IItemHandler.

package harry.mod.objects.blocks.machines.electricalSinterer.slots;

import net.minecraft.inventory.IInventory;
import net.minecraft.inventory.Slot;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
import net.minecraft.tileentity.TileEntity;
import net.minecraftforge.items.IItemHandler;

public class SlotIItemHandler extends Slot {
	IItemHandler INVENTORY;
	TileEntity TILE;

	@Deprecated
	public SlotIItemHandler(IInventory inventoryIn, int index, int xPosition, int yPosition) {
		super(inventoryIn, index, xPosition, yPosition);
		
	}
	
	public SlotIItemHandler(IItemHandler inventoryIn, int index, int xPosition, int yPosition, TileEntity tile) {
		super(null, index, xPosition, yPosition);
		this.INVENTORY = inventoryIn;
		this.TILE = tile;
	}
	
	@Override
	public int getSlotStackLimit() {
		return this.INVENTORY.getSlotLimit(slotNumber);
	}
	
	@Override
	public ItemStack getStack() {
		return this.INVENTORY.getStackInSlot(slotNumber);
	}
	
	@Override
	public void putStack(ItemStack stack) {
		this.INVENTORY.insertItem(slotNumber, stack, false);
		onSlotChanged();
	}
	
	@Override
	public void onSlotChanged() {
		this.TILE.markDirty();
	}
	
	@Override
	public ItemStack decrStackSize(int amount) {
		return this.INVENTORY.extractItem(slotNumber, amount, false);
	}

	@Override
	public boolean isHere(IInventory inv, int slotIn) {
		return false;
	}
	
	public boolean isHere(IItemHandler inv, int slotIn) {
		return this.INVENTORY.equals(inv) && this.slotNumber == slotIn;
	}
	
}

 

Now here's my question:

Wouldn't it be smart to add this standardly to the Slot class? That would save time for both me an you, i dont need to re-write this file again, and you aren't in need to explain why to use IItemHandler instead of IInventory as

The Slot will only work with IInventory
