ContainerBlock to InventoryHolder Issue - Please Help!

So I read about the changes in the Inventory class and really like the idea of some of them. However, I have an issue with a plugin I've made (TreasureHunt).

Formerly, I created a chest, then grabbed its inventory like this:

Code:

ContainerBlock tb = (ContainerBlock)block.getState();
            contents = tb.getInventory();

But I'm having trouble figuring out how to use the new InventoryHolder. I've checked the docs and I don't see the method anywhere for getting the InventoryHolder for a particular chest. I know there is a specific class for double chests now, but is there no longer a way to get an Inventory for a chest without the player firing an InventoryOpen? Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is the only thing holding my plugin back from being compatible with the current release.

 

Have you read this topic?

But couldn't you do it this way?

Code:

Chest chest = (Chest) block;
contents = chest.getInventory();

 

Yeah I have read that, but it wasn't explaining how to get an inventory holder for a chest.

But, for some reason, I had never thought to cast it to Chest

Thanks.

 

No problem. Hope this will solve your issues.

 

What can you cast to a Chest? I'm trying to cast a Block to Chest and it's giving me invalid cast.

 

Like so:

PHP:

if (block.getState() instanceof Chest) {
  Chest chest = (Chest)block.getState();
  // ...
}


You could also use InventoryHolder in place of Chest there if you're looking for any block which can hold an inventory.

 

Wait, so I'm casting a BlockState to an InventoryHolder?
So it's exactly like the old way except with InventoryHolder instead of ContainerBlock?

...facepalm
