Container in Item

[frankiecav]

except... it did. the sheath was able to hold an item and worked as expected.

[loordgek]

what you are doing there is creating a new ItemStackHandler that is not on the item

[frankiecav]

I realize that, but you know what:

That constructor is only used for registering the container. The ItemStackHandler doesn't do anything except fill out the super because of the second constructor, the one which I use.

That's how I understand it, anyway.

Thanks for your help, and everyone on the thread.

One more thing, before you leave:

If I wanted to make this item switch textures depending on what was in it, any advice? I should be able to tackle this one on my own, but since I have you on the thread...

Look at how the bow or compass change texture (look for IItemPropertyGetter and where it is used and look at their respective model json files).

 

Note also that this will now require you to send your inventory to the client (or rather you'd have to send the data about which texture to show). You can do this via getShareTag and readShareTag in your Item class. Note that these are hard to use, read the JavaDocs carefully. Also note that for this problem to show up you need to be on a dedicated server, because single player networking uses some clever hacks that make this problem not appear.
