[Tutorial] Creating a Inventory

If you want to create & open inventory this is how to do it, pretty much a example
You can add more slots and everything

Code:

      ItemStack slot0 = new ItemStack(Material.AnythingYouWant, 1);
        ItemStack slot1 = new ItemStack(Material.AnythingYouWant, 1);
        ItemStack slot2 = new ItemStack(Material.AnythingYouWant, 1);
        ItemStack slot3 = new ItemStack(Material.AnythingYouWant, 1);


        slot0.addEnchantment(Enchantment.EnchantmentOfYourChoice, 1);
        slot1.addEnchantment(Enchantment.EnchantmentOfYourChoice, 1);
        slot2.addEnchantment(Enchantment.EnchantmentOfYourChoice, 1);
        slot3.addEnchantment(Enchantment.EnchantmentOfYourChoice, 1);

        ItemMeta meta0 = slot0.getItemMeta();
        ItemMeta meta1 = slot1.getItemMeta();
        ItemMeta meta2 = slot2.getItemMeta();
        ItemMeta meta3 = slot3.getItemMeta();


        meta0.setDisplayName(ChatColor.DARK_GREEN + "Name");
        meta1.setDisplayName(ChatColor.AQUA + "Name");
        meta2.setDisplayName(ChatColor.DARK_RED + "Name");
        meta3.setDisplayName(ChatColor.BLUE + "Name");


        slot0.setItemMeta(meta0);
        slot1.setItemMeta(meta1);
        slot2.setItemMeta(meta2);
        slot3.setItemMeta(meta3);


        Inventory x104 = Bukkit.createInventory(null, 9, "Menu");

        x104.setItem(0, slot0);
        x104.setItem(1, slot1);
        x104.setItem(2, slot2);
        x104.setItem(3, slot3);


        p.openInventory(x104);

So lets say I was making a inventory where I would do /inventory and it would come up as full diamond armor enchanted to protection I
Here's how I would do it

Code:

 ItemStack slot0 = new ItemStack(Material.DIAMOND_LEGGINGS, 1);
        ItemStack slot1 = new ItemStack(Material.DIAMOND_BOOTS, 1);
        ItemStack slot2 = new ItemStack(Material.DIAMOND_CHESTPLATE, 1);
        ItemStack slot3 = new ItemStack(Material.DIAMOND_HELMET, 1);


        slot0.addEnchantment(Enchantment.PROTECTION_ENVIRONMENTAL, 1);
        slot1.addEnchantment(Enchantment.PROTECTION_ENVIRONMENTAL, 1);
        slot2.addEnchantment(Enchantment.PROTECTION_ENVIRONMENTAL, 1);
        slot3.addEnchantment(Enchantment.PROTECTION_ENVIRONMENTAL, 1);

        ItemMeta meta0 = slot0.getItemMeta();

        ItemMeta meta1 = slot1.getItemMeta();
        ItemMeta meta2 = slot2.getItemMeta();
        ItemMeta meta3 = slot3.getItemMeta();


        meta0.setDisplayName(ChatColor.DARK_GREEN + "Protection I");
        meta1.setDisplayName(ChatColor.AQUA + "Protection I");
        meta2.setDisplayName(ChatColor.DARK_RED + "Protection I");
        meta3.setDisplayName(ChatColor.BLUE + "Protection I");


        slot0.setItemMeta(meta0);
        slot1.setItemMeta(meta1);
        slot2.setItemMeta(meta2);
        slot3.setItemMeta(meta3);


        Inventory x104 = Bukkit.createInventory(null, 9, "Enchant Menu");

        x104.setItem(0, slot0);
        x104.setItem(1, slot1);
        x104.setItem(2, slot2);
        x104.setItem(3, slot3);


        p.openInventory(x104);

And then I would add a Listener class putting this

Code:

(cevent.getInventory().getName() == "Enchant Menu")) {
        
      
        if (cevent.getSlot() == 0) {
            Player pl = (Player)cevent.getWhoClicked();

          pl.closeInventory();
          Inventory target = pl.getInventory();
          ItemStack diamondlegg = new ItemStack(Material.DIAMOND_LEGGINGS, 1);

          diamondlegg.addUnsafeEnchantment(Enchantment.PROTECTION_ENVIRONMENTAL, 1);

          ItemMeta mm = diamondlegg.getItemMeta();
          diamondlegg.setItemMeta(mm);
          target.addItem(new ItemStack[] { diamondlegg });

      }
      if (cevent.getSlot() == 1) {
          Player pl = (Player)cevent.getWhoClicked();
          pl.closeInventory();
          Inventory target = pl.getInventory();
          ItemStack diamondboots = new ItemStack(Material.DIAMOND_BOOTS, 1);

          diamondboots.addUnsafeEnchantment(Enchantment.PROTECTION_ENVIRONMENTAL, 1);

          ItemMeta mm = diamondboots.getItemMeta();
          diamondboots.setItemMeta(mm);
          target.addItem(new ItemStack[] { diamondboots });

      }

      if (cevent.getSlot() == 2) {
          Player pl = (Player)cevent.getWhoClicked();
          pl.closeInventory();
          Inventory target = pl.getInventory();
          ItemStack diamondchest = new ItemStack(Material.DIAMOND_CHESTPLATE, 1);

          diamondchest.addUnsafeEnchantment(Enchantment.PROTECTION_ENVIRONMENTAL, 1);

          ItemMeta mm = diamondchest.getItemMeta();
          diamondchest.setItemMeta(mm);
          target.addItem(new ItemStack[] { diamondchest });
   
      }

      if (cevent.getSlot() == 3) {
        Player pl = (Player)cevent.getWhoClicked();
        pl.closeInventory();
        Inventory target = pl.getInventory();
        ItemStack diamondhelm = new ItemStack(Material.DIAMOND_HELMET, 1);

        diamondhelm.addUnsafeEnchantment(Enchantment.PROTECTION_ENVIRONMENTAL, 1);

        ItemMeta mm = diamondhelm.getItemMeta();
        diamondhelm.setItemMeta(mm);
        target.addItem(new ItemStack[] { diamondhelm });
 

Hopefully this helped =/=

 

Thanks for help

 

Nice tutorial,

If you would like to make a chest using /inventory so players can store items in it and it saves into a config file, how would you do it?

 

I prefer to do it using arrays, like this
for example;

Code:java

ItemStack slot[] = new ItemStack[8];
slot[0] = new ItemStack(Material.SUGAR); //cocaine
slot[1] = new ItemStack(Material.QUARTZ); //meth
slot[2] = new ItemStack(Material.GLOWSTONE_DUST); //meridiem
slot[3] = new ItemStack(Material.INK_SACK, 2); //marijuana
slot[4] = new ItemStack(Material.INK_SACK, 3); //caffeine
slot[5] = new ItemStack(Material.INK_SACK, 9); //ecstasy
slot[6] = new ItemStack(Material.INK_SACK, 5); //cyanide
slot[7] = new ItemStack(Material.INK_SACK, 14); //acid
 
ItemMeta meta[] = new ItemMeta[8];
for(int i = 0; i>=7; i++){
meta = slot.getItemMeta();
}

It makes it easier, since with arrays, you can use .setContent(); method, which will set all the slots at once based on an array!

 

Just a quick question :
Can you type this code in a private void of a command? I really need this inventory thing for it.

 

Cryteria yeah, you can have the inventory-opening part. If you want to have a selection GUI, then I would use IconMenu (search it up).
