Look at the GuiContainer class.

What if I didn't want a container?

So does this mean that pretty much every block that is intractable is a container? Containers don't have to literally contain something do they? They can store data like a sign right?

Your Gui can extend GuiScreen and your block can implement ITileEntityProvider if you don't want a container. This also means that you don't need to pass a Container to the server in your GuiHandler. I know this works because my mod currently already does this. As for closing the currently opened Gui, just use:

mc.displayGuiScreen((GuiScreen)null);

if calling this from a gui window, or:

Minecraft.getMinecraft().displayGuiScreen((GuiScreen)null);

from anywhere else in the client code.

 

If you want to close it with the E key, then you'll have you use a KeyHandler. There are plenty of tutorials about them. Be aware that if you register a KeyBinding using the same key as one that Minecraft already uses, it'll override it and make it not function normally anymore. This means that if you bind the above code to the E key, opening your inventory won't work anymore

...unless you use this little trick that I figured out myself:

Minecraft.getMinecraft().gameSettings.keyBindJump = KeysHandler.jump;

In this case, I have my own KeyBinding (KeysHandler.jump) using the space key. By binding Minecraft's normal keybind to mine, both it and my mod can use the key however they needs to.
