Giving Items using packets

[Owen1212055]

Hello, I need some help with sending items using packets. This is so I can give players items if they are on creative mode on a server. Is there anywhere where I can learn to do this?

You've come to the right place there is no tutorial out there that specific.

Under what circumstances are you sending the packet? Why do you need the packet? 

[Owen1212055]

Well, I want to give the player a certain ItemStack (in a server).

Where is the packet coming from? Why aren't you writing code to directly give the player an item?

Well don't you have to send a packet to the server if you want to send an item to a player on a multiplayer server?

This is a client-side mod and doesn't add any new items to the game.

Since when I try to add an item when on creative mode on a multiplayer server I cannot place down that block until I open my inventory.

What are you trying to do, from a player's perspective?

By typing .load in chat, it will give the player an item. This is in multiplayer when the player is in creative.

In creative mode the client dictates the inventory so you should just be able to use normal "add item stack to inventory" code to accomplish what you want.

When I do that though, the player cannot place the block down until they open their inventory. It acts almost like a ghost item (it disappears when opening a container). Would I be able to manually "refresh" the inventory?

I would check what happens in vanilla when an item is added to the inventory in creative

Okay so I’ll try looking
