I'd like to add a custom player inventory I've written, nearly identical to the default inventory except that it also has a creative mode-like tab with secondary elements and custom item organization. I've implemented the inventory class similar to the default implementation of the creative one, but I don't know how to get it to show up in place of the default survival one. I've got an event handler and packet system for inputs already set up, what do I need to do next? Do I cancel the default inventory when the player first selects their inventory, or when they're created?

Well, you could do something like this:

@EventBusSubscriber(bus = Bus.FORGE)
public class GuiHandler
{
	@SubscribeEvent
	public static void onRenderGui(GuiScreenEvent.DrawScreenEvent.Pre event)
	{
      // Checks if the gui is an exact instance of InventoryScreen
		if(event.getGui().getClass() == InventoryScreen.class)
		{
          // Cancel the event
			event.setCanceled(true);
          // Draws "test"
			Minecraft.getInstance().fontRenderer.drawString("test", 200, 200, 3997696);
			// Render your own stuff
		}
	}
}

	}
}

 

and I don't need to send anything via the packets? I know buttons and such are client-side but assumed things like the inventory were on the server.

Inventory synchronization happens through the Container class. You need a custom Container implementation and you need to open it server side (!) using NetworkHooks.openGui.

Ah got it, so:

 

1) Create an inventory class that takes a Container object

2) Cancel the default inventory open event

3) Send a packet to server

4) Open it from that side

 

Correct?

Eh, no, not really. You need some form of IItemHandler which stores the items. In your case probably attached to the player as a capability. Then you need a Container class which has slots that reference this handler. You also need a ContainerScreen, which shows the actual container.

For this you need to register a ContainerType and you need to register a screen factory with ScreenManager.

 

There's no such event. You'd have to use GuiOpenEvent.

 

Yes.

Why does the custom IItemHandler need to be attached to the player?

Because it's an inventory that belongs to the player.

I guess my confusion is just because I can't seem to figure out how to attach capabilities for a class data type like my custom IItem Handler. I'm trying to call .createKey() and can't figure out how to serialize the data type. 

Still can't figure this out, at this point to keep it simple I'm trying to just implement the default inventory via this custom ItemHandler, but still can't attach it.

IItemHandler is a capability. You attach it to the player.

Again, thanks for the insight as always! Reading through the docs again it makes a ton of sense now. ?

That won't work, because the player already exposes that capability. You need your own capability, realized through a custom interface (which should extend IItemHandler).

Point. But I think the concept that was not being understood was communicated.

Alright, so I've went ahead and done:

1) Created an interface that extends IItemHandler, and another that implements this interface

2) In my GuiDataProvider class went ahead and called:

@CapabilityInject(IMyItemHandler.class)
static Capability<IMyItemHandler> ITEM_HANDLER_CAPABILITY = null;

and implemented the various capability methods.

And like you said previously, the only thing left to do is create the various container classes, and to register them. My original confusion was because I was under the impression that something like a Mana capability class wasn't the capability itself, but rather its various parameters, which was a silly thing to think. So I thought I had to add the IMyItemHandler as a capability as a parameter in a similar fashion.

 

Anyhow, now the problem seems to be that I can't call these,

return super.hasCapability(capability, facing);

return super.getCapability(capability, facing);

it complains that it "Cannot resolve method 'getCapability' in 'Object'"

Correct, I assume you just made a class that implements ICapabilityProvider (or ICapabilitySerializable, which extends that) to attach to the player, right? If so, yes of course you can't call super, because there is no super implementation for those methods. There is nothing wrong with that though, I am not sure why you are trying to call super in the first place.

Ah alright, everything's crystal clear now, thank you. Just a case of blindly trying to do what the doc is saying without really checking on why its doing it.

Got everything set up and registered, and the packets all work. My only question now is what do I do server-side after I've sent a packet?

Call NetworkHooks.openGui to open a GUI.

Alright it finally works. It's duplicating items for some reason so I may have to tweak my itemhandler but that should be it.
