[SOLVED] [1.14.2] How to retrieve an ItemStackHandler while a TESR is rendering?

[LeoCTH]

I was trying to retrieve what item does the TileEntity current has (in a ItemStackHandler) in a TileEntityRenderer. It simply returns no items each time I want to access it.

My TileEntity code: https://github.com/LeoCTH/TryingOut/blob/master/src/main/java/com/leocth/tryingout/blocks/energy/ChargingStationTE.java

My TESR: https://github.com/LeoCTH/TryingOut/blob/master/src/main/java/com/leocth/tryingout/client/render/tile/RenderChargingStation.java

My Main Class: https://github.com/LeoCTH/TryingOut/blob/master/src/main/java/com/leocth/tryingout/TryingOut.java

 

P.S. It's been a long time since my last post.  I might have upset somebody on this forum while having a dispute, so my apologies ;P

You must sync the items in the ItemStackHandler to the client with a custom packet. And do this only whenever the contents change.

Okay, how? I did look for methods related to packet related stuff and overrode it, but it still didn't work somehow :p

with a custom packet

Documentation here.

Oh thanks, I forgot to check there ;P

(oh btw at the start I didn't think that a 1.13.x documentation would help, and plus it sooooo different for what actually happens in 1.14.x lol)

Problem solved!!! Thank you!

Just realized I don't need a custom packet tho, I can just use SUpdateTileEntityPacket and pass the NBT data on the packet when the player changes the item lol (don't criticize how I did it, just did a quick check, Botania used almost the same way xd)

But critiques are helpful. It might be more network efficient if you make your own custom packet that only sends when the specific Item slot changes. But it's not my mod.
