How to stop the inventory from showing up while keeping the animation when opening a chest.

Is there any possible way to stop the inventory from showing up when clicking a chest without removing the chest animation? Since "event.setCancelled(true);" stops the animation and inventory together.

 

I saw this long time ago when I was looking for something like that, but I never tested it (actually I never implemented what I was thinking in that moment).

Basically you use playNote to play the opening or closing animation in the chest.

@WarmakerT I tried doing what they said. I did

Code:

player.playNote(chest.getLocation(), (byte)1, (byte)1);

but it still doesn't work. It just plays a note block sound.

You're over complicating it. Use OpenInventoryEvent, add some checks to see if it's the inventory you want to cancel, then use e.setCancelled(true)

 

oops, didn't read that part xD

 

WHy not close the inventory a few ticks after inv open

 

@NicksTheBoss Use PacketPlayOutBlockAction.

 

@sipsi133 PacketPlayOutBlockAction can't be resolved as a type. I'm pretty sure this is because I use bukkit as a dependency.

 

@NicksTheBoss yes, you need craftbukkit.
