I have a block that should only be allowed in the player's hot bar--not their regular inventory slots and not in other containers. So far I have been using GuiScreenEvent to detect the various mouse clicks and keyboard shortcuts that move items around. It's working except one scenario. If the player puts the block in the crafting grid, fills up their hot bar, then closes the crafting GUI with the block still in the crafting grid--the block automatically gets put into their regular inventory (assuming they have empty slots there).

 

How can I detect this situation? I've been hoping to avoid the need to loop through every player's inventory every tick to search for the block.

Post your code.

I didn't originally post any code, because I was asking about ideas for something I hadn't written code for yet. I have since attempted something. This is my current attempt to remove my block from the regular inventory after closing the crafting table container. The only problem is that removing the item from the slot doesn't get synced to the client.

            Slot slot = container.inventorySlots.get(i);
            IInventory inventoryForSlot = slot.inventory;

                    container.detectAndSendChanges();
                    inventoryForSlot.markDirty();
                }
            }
        }
    }

 

 

Current working code that prevents my block from being placed in the regular inventory via mouse clicks or keyboard.

Try to instead do EntityPlayer#container.detectAndSendChanges()

I did this:

 

event.getEntityPlayer().inventoryContainer.detectAndSendChanges();
event.getEntityPlayer().openContainer.detectAndSendChanges();

 

No dice. When I open my inventory, the item still appears to be there, but if I try to click on it, it immediately disappears. If I open another container, like the crafting table, the item disappears.

Latest code:

 

    @SubscribeEvent
    public void onContainerClosed(PlayerContainerEvent.Close event)
    {
        Container container = event.getContainer();
        List<Slot> slotList = container.inventorySlots;

        for (int i = 0; i < slotList.size(); i++)
        {
            Slot slot = container.inventorySlots.get(i);
            IInventory inventoryForSlot = slot.inventory;

            if (inventoryForSlot instanceof InventoryPlayer && slot.getSlotIndex() > 8) // I think this guarantees the slot is NOT in the hot bar
            {
                ItemStack stackInSlot = slot.getStack().copy();

                if (stackInSlot.getItem() instanceof ItemBlockBasket)
                {
                    event.getEntityPlayer().dropItem(stackInSlot, false); // Spawns the EntityItem
                    event.getEntityPlayer().inventory.setInventorySlotContents(slot.getSlotIndex(), ItemStack.EMPTY);
                    event.getEntityPlayer().inventoryContainer.detectAndSendChanges();
                }
            }
        }
    }

 

Alright, I found something that seems to be working:

 

EntityPlayerMP player = (EntityPlayerMP)event.getEntityPlayer();
player.dropItem(stackInSlot, false); // Spawns the EntityItem
player.inventoryContainer.putStackInSlot(i, ItemStack.EMPTY);
player.sendContainerToPlayer(player.inventoryContainer);

 

This only works in my regular survival inventory so far (placing item in the 4x4 crafting grid and closing it with hot bar full so item is forced to go into my regular inventory). If I do it with a crafting table, there seems to be something wrong with my slot indexes, because I'm getting two copies of the item, with one of them in a slot I don't expect. I'll try to figure out that problem tomorrow.

Found the problem. I was mixing up slot index with slot number (for like the tenth time). Slot indexes start over for each inventory, but slot numbers are continuous across inventories (like a chest inventory and survival inventory). I also made my code a little more efficient by only searching the player's inventory, since that's where I don't want items to end up. Here's the final code, for anyone who's interested.
