gui concept

[round verge]

Something like this

[bitter inlet]

You want icons for what's in the chest?

[round verge]

yes

[acoustic raven]

I'm going to have a go at something like this

I gotta learn world rendering anyways

It'll be a fun project

[round verge]

did it work?

[neon citrus]

i requested something similar once but never got an answer

[sly kindle]

Like a floating thing or a preview? Tweakeroo has a preview option.

[rose latch]

project 3d to 2d 👍

[acoustic raven]

I will come back to this

eventually 😄

[pseudo tree]

there's a wiki called https://fabric.moddedmc.wiki/ that has a page on rendering, might wanna check it out

[acoustic raven]

Hm! I didn't know that existed

thanks

Not so much that I cant

but i just dont have time lately

[round verge]

it loos realy nice, whomade it

[pseudo tree]

no clue

[acoustic raven]

I couldn't tell you

[surreal pagoda]

Jade can do this. https://modrinth.com/mod/jade

[acoustic raven]

yeah but in the HUD

not on the chest itself

[surreal pagoda]

Jade’s chest preview is in the HUD though?

[pseudo tree]

that's what he said

[acoustic raven]

This is clearly on the chest? (the request, not jade)

[round verge]

Any progress?

[surreal pagoda]

!!mr container-tooltips if anyone's wondering, there is a mod for this now, even though the thread hasn't been closed or updated

[glad root]

https://modrinth.com/mod/container-tooltips if anyone's wondering, there is a mod for this now, even though the thread hasn't been closed or updated

[round verge]

I want it to get 1 item that is in it the most

[surreal pagoda]

that's probably possible in the configs

[timber rose]

This one feels like something i could make, will keep you updated

[timber rose]

Currently trying, unfortunately its a bit complicated the way mc handles anticheat

[timber rose]

I did it, tomorrow i'll fix some rendering issues and add a bit of polish and then it's good to go

[timber rose]

@round verge hi, how would you like the item to be displayed? Currently i have it so that when a chest is looked at you see the item rendered above it. Is there a certain position you would like? For example on the front of the chest that way when chests are stacked above you can still see it?

[round verge]

when i am close to it

[timber rose]

Making it so that it shows up when you are close to it makes the client send a packet to the server for each chest block, which isn’t very effective. I could still do it if you prefer it that way but it’s not really a good idea as it might spam the server and might kick you out

[round verge]

it only displays after chest is opened once

[timber rose]

Well

That is way simpler than what i thought you wanted

[round verge]

what did you think?

[timber rose]

Well i made it so that you don’t need to open it

So the server has to send the itemstack to display to the client

Even if you never opened that chest, looking at it allows you to know what’s inside

[round verge]

doesnt that get detected by any anticheat and kick you?

[timber rose]

Not if the server has the mod

[round verge]

oh yeah i wanted a client side mod

[timber rose]

The way you want it is only client side which simplifies a lot of stuff

Yeeeeaaaah i should have asked more info lmao

Well, i’ll make it both ways

Too late to back down

So, for the displayed item, you want it above the chest right?

[round verge]

yes

[timber rose]

Perfect

Do you want it to spin?

[round verge]

yes

[timber rose]

Perfect

Alright, will keep you updated here

[round verge]

ok

for what mc version are you gonna make it?

[timber rose]

1.19 +

Every version above that will work

[round verge]

1.20.4?

[timber rose]

Yes that too

[round verge]

ok

[timber rose]

Should work on every version that is above 1.19.4

[round verge]

ok

[timber rose]

I’ll test it and make sure it works on the newest one before sending it

[round verge]

ok

do you have screenshot?

[timber rose]

I can make you one, just give me a bit

[round verge]

ok

[round verge]

are you going to make it flat or "3d"?

[timber rose]

It’s 3d

[round verge]

are you going to change that?

[timber rose]

I mean no? If you set the items in the ground to render 2d then it’s gonna do that

Like in the game settings

It automatically does that it’s the same code

[round verge]

ok

[round verge]

are you going to post on github?

[timber rose]

yup

[nocturne star]

Out of curiosity, are you doing this purely client-side, or are you having to do some server-side stuff as well? I had a poke at this awhile back and needed to do server-side stuff

[timber rose]

So right now it works server side, but as the OP wants it client side im trying to get the inventory when the player opens the chest, saving it in a map storing the block’s pos and itemstack i have to display and simply get the itemstack in the renderer by using the block pos as the key

That way it works client side

I will post the code for both the server side and client side versions

[nocturne star]

That's pretty smart. I didn't think of that.

[timber rose]

Yeah it occurred to me once OP told what he wanted, i thought they wanted it to work even without opening it so i just did the server side one without really thinking about it

Although the server side works really well so I’m probably just going to release both

[nocturne star]

I think that's a somewhat good trade-off for the mod being client-side only. It also requires the player to actually interact with the chest.

[timber rose]

Yup! No cheating or anything, completely fair to use

[nocturne star]

this

[timber rose]

Alright it works!

Weirldy on the first try

Just need to make it so that it updates also when the player closes the chest and then we are done :)

[round verge]

nice

[timber rose]

Alright i finally did it!

It updates the render when the contents of the chests are changed (both by the client or by other players) while the chest is open!

I'll do a few more checks to make sure this works as intended and then i'll make the githubs

[timber rose]

Ok i found a pretty weird bug where sometimes (i have no idea when) the rendered item isn't from the correct chest

[timber rose]

alright that is fixed, although i found out double chests dont work(?)

trying to fix this rn

[timber rose]

Alright i fixed it

That was a messed up bug

[timber rose]

https://github.com/MastroCaleb/ItemOnChestClient

Here it is, there's a release on the github

I haven't checked if it works on 1.20.4 as it's kinda late

I will def check tomorrow

[round verge]

what if 2 chests are above eachother?

[pseudo tree]

test it?

[wary oriole]

I LIKE ITTT T

MAKE IT POSSIBLE

[round verge]

what do you mean?

[wary oriole]

Make it possible i want it to work

[round verge]

it already exist

[timber rose]

That’s why i asked you how you wanted to display the item

[round verge]

oh

[timber rose]

I can make it display like half inside the chest on the front

If there’s a chest above

However you prefer

[round verge]

i dont understand what you mean with this

[timber rose]

Wait a sec

[round verge]

yeah good idea

[timber rose]

alr

[timber rose]

Got it

[round verge]

nice

[timber rose]

the item is not attached to the chest so it can still have the pretty spin

also works with double chests

[round verge]

have you pushed to github?

[timber rose]

https://github.com/MastroCaleb/ItemOnChestClient/releases

[timber rose]

did it now

[round verge]

did you test 1.20.4

[timber rose]

not yet i just started a gamejam so i've been busy with that

it should work tho, if it doesnt just tag me i'll fix it right away

[round verge]

doesnt seem to do anything on 1.20.4

[round verge]

@timber rose

[timber rose]

That's odd

lemme check

it works for me

oh wait

it doesnt auto update

mh

yeah that's an issue

is it ok if i fix it on sunday?

[round verge]

yes

[timber rose]

i have lots of work to do, sorry for the inconvenience!

[round verge]

i understand

[timber rose]

for now, it works only if you re-open the chest after changing the contents

if you find other bugs please send them over so i can fix them

[uneven mica]

does it support fabric? if so can you make it support fabric?

[round verge]

https://tryitands.ee

also this is the fabric discord

[uneven mica]

is it for 1.20.4?

[round verge]

you should really learn to read

#1101221258261184623 message

[timber rose]

its from 1.19.4 for an up, although there apparently is a bug for the newest versions but it doesnt crash the game or anything

[uneven mica]

my mistake

this is my monitor quality

[timber rose]

sunday i'll update with the fix so that the mod will work without problems

[timber rose]

wow that's horrible ahhaha

[uneven mica]

this is also the minecraft version I play =)

[timber rose]

wow

[round verge]

@timber rose

[timber rose]

Sorry man i had to go to Lisbon for a few days im really sorry, im coming back home this evening and will fix this asap

[timber rose]

i can't seem to find the root problem, this is really annoying

[timber rose]

@round verge im gonna make a wild guess, i think this is straight up impossible

i think the server (for some reason unbeknownst to me) handles when the inventory of the chest is shown

[round verge]

weird

[timber rose]

i have no idea why

this is the stupidest piece of code i have seen in minecraft

im going to try and find a new solution

altough i don't think it's possible

[timber rose]

i think i found the fix

[round verge]

nice

[timber rose]

gotta make it work tho

i'll ping you if i have news

[timber rose]

@round verge i did it!

now i'll check if it works in 1.20.4 and if everything does, i can update the mod

they apparently changed a class from MatrixStack to DrawContext so now i need to make a version for 1.19.4 and one for 1.20.4+

alright im going to go to sleep now, i'll update the mod tomorrow for both versions

[neon citrus]

@timber rose did you updste the mod

[timber rose]

im testing it as i think there might be some memory issues, although it's almost ready

[timber rose]

im polishing the mod rn, fixing some memory issues, some bugs with the item not showing sometimes with double chests and just some better code

[round verge]

@timber rose

[timber rose]

use this in the meantime if you don't mind some weird bugs like where if two chests are in the same place but in different worlds you see the last world's item and the bug that won't let you see the item if you open the last placed chest of a double chest while i fix these bugs

[neon citrus]

for what game and fabric versions is this? @timber rose

asking because i use 1.20.1 0.15.6

[timber rose]

It’s for 1.20 and every version after that

[neon citrus]

0.15.6 or higher?

feather doesnt have 0.15.7 yet @timber rose

[round verge]

It's for 1.20 fabric

[timber rose]

It will work for any fabric version

Theoretically 0.15.6 and higher, previous versions are untested

[neon citrus]

ye but i need it for 0.15.6 as feather doesnt have any fsbric version higher than that yet

[neon citrus]

thanks

[round verge]

@timber rose when github push?

[timber rose]

Haven’t been modding, i have the theory exam for my drivers license this friday and an exam for uni next week

I could speedrun it right now but it will probably have some bugs and i want to make a clean version

[timber rose]

have you had any bugs with the jar i sent here?

just so i can write them down and fix them later

[timber rose]

working on the fixes rn

[timber rose]

memory issues fixed, will fix the double chest problem tomorrow

[round verge]

@timber rose it going good?

[timber rose]

I should be able to finish it today

[round verge]

nice

[timber rose]

@round verge will upload the update to curseforge rn, while they accept it you can download it from here

BUG FIXES:

Fixed memory issues:

• Breaking a chest and placing a new one in the same place would show the old chest's item above.
• When leaving a world and joining a new one, chests placed at the same coordinates would display the old world chest's item.

Fixed double chest display issues:

• When opening the second chest on a double chest no item would be displayed.

you can also check the github if you want to have a look at the changes
