Saving Inventory when closing GUI for block entity.

[bleak mason]

I am trying to add functionality and crafting to the fletching table; however, when I close the GUI, it won't save the inventory. I've looked at the fabric documentation for screen handlers and block entities, and I still can't figure it out what I need to do other than the readNbt and writeNbt methods.

@bleak mason @burnt flax @minor citrus That video tutorial, the code in the GitHub repo or the tutorial at the wiki do not work. (https://fabricmc.net/wiki/tutorial:inventory?s[]=inventory) I wish to note that it ONLY fails for Inventories.read/writeNbt but custom data (e.g. number from the tutorial) are stored properly. And I myself am currently still unsure as of why.

do you know of any work around?

Sadly no

if the problem is that things are not removed from the client side inv after a network update then the problem is the usual one: Inventories.read/writeNbt skip empty stacks

Do you call markDirty anywhere?

Sorry for the late reply, but yes, in the onContentChanged method in the screen handler. I think the not saving was due to a few other missing things that are there now, but it won't even register an inventory bigger than 0 slots anymore.
