[1.16.3] Giving an entity an inventory

[Educationalmoose]

I just started modding a few weeks ago and I am new to forge but have at least a basic understanding of Java programming. I am self taught but know the basics and am constantly trying to improve. Anyways, I wanted to learn how to use containers, inventories, etc. and I noticed a lack of information newer than 1.14 and was having a lot of difficulty following tutorials online. For this specific mod, I was trying to start off super basic and just make an inventory with 2 slots, but I wanted to put the inventory on an entity that already exists within minecraft, because I thought it would be easier than creating my own entity. I decided to use the pig, and so far I have been basing almost all of my code off of the horse entity. I have come across many problems though and I do not know where to find an answer since there is not much documentation on this. I have been learning a lot about tileEntities and I was going to try making a chest with 2 inventory slots and then just opening that chest whenever I click on a pig, but this seems like an inefficient way to go about doing this. Unfortunately since I am new to modding I do not know all of the different possible ways to accomplish this and I was wondering if someone could help me a little bit so I can get on my way. I will supply people with any code that they might need to see to help me out, and I am using IntelliJ. Thanks!

Take a look at GreyGhost tutorials, he shows different ways of implementing containers (among other useful tutorials), and you may find that instructive;

By the way which problem you came across? Show what you have written so far please

Thanks for the link! I do not know if I had the right approach to implementing this idea, but so far I copied the AbstractChestedHorseEntity.java script and started to replace a lot of keywords with their PigEntity equivalent. I also copied a script for the container of the PigEntity and the screen of the PigEntity. Below will be the code:

public abstract class AbstractChestedPigEntity extends PigEntity {
    private static final DataParameter<Boolean> DATA_ID_CHEST = EntityDataManager.createKey(com.educationalmoose.pighatmod.entity.passive.pig.AbstractChestedPigEntity.class, DataSerializers.BOOLEAN);

    protected AbstractChestedPigEntity(EntityType<? extends com.educationalmoose.pighatmod.entity.passive.pig.AbstractChestedPigEntity> type, World worldIn) {
        super(type, worldIn);
    }

    protected void registerData() {
        super.registerData();
        this.dataManager.register(DATA_ID_CHEST, false);
    }

    public static AttributeModifierMap.MutableAttribute registerAttributes() {
        return registerAttributes().func_233815_a_(Attributes.field_233821_d_, (double)0.175F).func_233815_a_(Attributes.field_233830_m_, 0.5D);
    }

    public boolean hasChest() {
        return this.dataManager.get(DATA_ID_CHEST);
    }

    public void setChested(boolean chested) {
        this.dataManager.set(DATA_ID_CHEST, chested);
    }


    /**
     * Returns the Y offset from the entity's position for any entity riding this one.
     */
    public double getMountedYOffset() {
        return super.getMountedYOffset() - 0.25D;
    }

    protected void dropInventory() {
        super.dropInventory();
        if (this.hasChest()) {
            if (!this.world.isRemote) {
                this.entityDropItem(Blocks.CHEST);
            }

            this.setChested(false);
        }

    }

    public void writeAdditional(CompoundNBT compound) {
        super.writeAdditional(compound);
        compound.putBoolean("ChestedPig", this.hasChest());
        if (this.hasChest()) {
            ListNBT listnbt = new ListNBT();
            compound.put("Items", listnbt);
        }

    }

    /**
     * (abstract) Protected helper method to read subclass entity data from NBT.
     */
    public void readAdditional(CompoundNBT compound) {
        super.readAdditional(compound);
        this.setChested(compound.getBoolean("ChestedPig"));
        if (this.hasChest()) {
            ListNBT listnbt = compound.getList("Items", 10);
        }
    }

    public boolean replaceItemInInventory(int inventorySlot, ItemStack itemStackIn) {
        if (inventorySlot == 499) {
            if (this.hasChest() && itemStackIn.isEmpty()) {
                this.setChested(false);
                return true;
            }

            if (!this.hasChest()) {
                this.setChested(true);
                return true;
            }
        }

        return super.replaceItemInInventory(inventorySlot, itemStackIn);
    }
/*
    public ActionResultType getEntityInteractionResult(PlayerEntity player, Hand hand) {
        ItemStack itemstack = player.getHeldItem(hand);
        if (!this.isChild()) {

Sorry if this was long, I'm also new to the website so if there is a better way to format this that is easier to read just let me know. The main problem I have right now is when I try to register the container, I followed a 1.15 tutorial for registering a container and it does not seem to be compatible with the PigInventoryContainer script because PigEntity cant be accessed 

ublic class ModContainerTypes {

    public static final DeferredRegister<ContainerType<?>> CONTAINER_TYPES = DeferredRegister.create(ForgeRegistries.CONTAINERS, PigHatMod.MOD_ID);

    public static final RegistryObject<ContainerType<PigInventoryContainer>> PIG_INVENTORY_CONTAINER = CONTAINER_TYPES.register("pig_inventory_chest", () -> IForgeContainerType.create(PigInventoryContainer::new));
}

@Mod.EventBusSubscriber(modid = PigHatMod.MOD_ID, bus = Mod.EventBusSubscriber.Bus.MOD, value = Dist.CLIENT)
public class ClientEventBusSubscriber extends AnimalEntity {

    protected ClientEventBusSubscriber(EntityType<? extends AnimalEntity> type, World worldIn) {
        super(type, worldIn);
    }

    @SubscribeEvent
    public static void clientSetup(FMLClientSetupEvent event) {
        ScreenManager.registerFactory(ModContainerTypes.PIG_INVENTORY_CONTAINER.get(), PigInventoryScreen:: new);
    }

    }
}
