For Developers

Dependency Installation

Add Packed Inventory as a dependency to your project:

build.gradle:

repositories {
  maven {
    name = "Modrinth"
    url = "https://api.modrinth.com/maven"
    content {
      includeGroup "maven.modrinth"
    }
  }
}

dependencies {
  modImplementation "maven.modrinth:packed-inventory:${project.packed_inventory_version}"
}

gradle.properties:

packed_inventory_version=/ version (e.g., 0.3.0+1.20.3) /

Entrypoints

The API provides two entrypoints for integration:

fabric.mod.json:

{
  "entrypoints": {
    "packed-inventory": [
      "a.b.c.MyMod"
    ],
    "packed-inventory-client": [
      "a.b.c.MyClientMod"
    ]
  }
}

Inventory Views

The core concept of the mod is inventory views, allowing editing of item contents without placement.

Example of registering a viewer for ender chest:

public class MyMod implements PackedInventoryInitializer {
    @Override
    public void registerInventoryViewers(InventoryViewerRegistry registry, PackedInventoryApiConfig config) {
        registry.register(
            (inventory, slot, player) -> player.getEnderChestInventory(),
            Items.ENDER_CHEST
        );
    }
}

Action Validation

For setting restrictions, you can use validators:

public class MyMod implements PackedInventoryInitializer {
    @Override
    public void registerInventoryViewers(InventoryViewerRegistry registry, PackedInventoryApiConfig config) {
        registry.register(
            (inventory, slot, player) -> player.getEnderChestInventory(),
            InventoryValidators.IS_IN_CREATIVE.or(
                InventoryValidators.IS_ON_GROUND.and(InventoryValidators.HAS_PICKAXE_WITH_SILK_TOUCH)
            ),
            Items.ENDER_CHEST
        );
    }
}

Tooltips for Developers

Registering a tooltip provider for ender chest:

public class MyClientMod implements PackedInventoryClientInitializer {
    @Override
    public void registerTooltipProviders(TooltipProviderRegistry registry, PackedInventoryApiConfig config) {
        registry.register(
            TooltipProvider.builder()
                .useSyncData(GenericContainerTooltipSyncData::of)
                .tooltipData((stack, context, syncData) -> GenericContainerTooltipData.of(syncData.getInventory()))
                .build(),
            Items.ENDER_CHEST
        );
    }
}
