[1.12.2]Modding: Item the opens a GUI when right-clicked

[Jigokusaru]

So, I need a way to create an Item that when right-clicked, opens an inventory.  The inventory Needs to store a special only a special type of item. Is there a tutorial that explains this?

Attach an IItemHandler capability to your item.

Then, create a GUI (and a container) for the item's inventory and open it in Item#onItemUse.

You can create a custom Slot class and override the canAccept (can't remember the spelling) method to check if the ItemStacks to be inserted match your criteria  and use it as the slots in your container.

I'm not finding the canAccept method, and I'm not sure how to create a GUI.

A link to one would be nice. the ones I found are old.

[Jigokusaru]

I found the canAccept, its isItemValid. Still not sure how a GUI should be configured in an item, is there an example that use the IItemHandler I can look at?
