Installation

Installing as an npm module

run this command in your bdsx directory :

npm i @bdsx/containermenu

You can also use bdsx's plugin-manager

Installing as a standalone plugin

clone the repository in your plugins directory :

git clone https://github.com/Se7en-dev/ContainerMenu.git

Usage examples

You can simply create and display a fake chest this way :

constcontainer=ContainerMenu.create(player,FakeContainerType.Chest);container.sendToPlayer();

everything else is handled automatically !

You can add/delete items to the container this way :

// Sets the item in slot 0container.setItem(0,ItemStack.constructWith("minecraft:diamond",64));// Adds the item to the first empty slotcontainer.addItem(ItemStack.constructWith("minecraft:diamond",64));// Set multiple items at oncecontainer.setContents({5: ItemStack.constructWith("minecraft:gold_ingot",1),7: ItemStack.constructWith("minecraft:iron_ingot",1),9: ItemStack.constructWith("minecraft:emerald",1),});// Clears the item in slot 5container.clearItem(5);// Clears all itemscontainer.clearContents();

no need to destruct the ItemStacks, it is done automatically after the container is closed

Other features :

// Set a custom name to the container// (must be called before sending the container)container.setCustomName("BDSX is awesome !");// Closes the container client-side, and destructs it.container.closeContainer();

Using callbacks :

container.onTransaction((action)=>{// Do something here...});container.onContainerClose(()=>{// Do something here...});

nb: returning CANCEL for item transactions does not change anything for now. In the future, Items will be able to be placed and taken unless CANCEL is returned.

Simple examples

Sends a message when a diamond is clicked :

constcontainer=ContainerMenu.create(actor,FakeContainerType.Chest);container.addItem(ItemStack.constructWith("minecraft:iron_ingot",1));container.addItem(ItemStack.constructWith("minecraft:gold_ingot",1));container.addItem(ItemStack.constructWith("minecraft:diamond",1));container.sendToPlayer();container.onTransaction((action)=>{if(action.type===ItemStackRequestActionType.Take&&container.getItem(action.getSrc().slot)?.getName()==="minecraft:diamond"){container.closeContainer();actor.sendMessage("You have clicked the diamond!");}});

Sends a message when the player closes the container:

constcontainer=ContainerMenu.create(actor,FakeContainerType.Chest);container.sendToPlayer();container.onContainerClose(()=>{actor.sendMessage("Container closed !");});

Advanced usage

Item destruction :

When creating a fake container, if destructItems is set to true, items will be automatically destructed on container close. If set to false they won't, and need to be destructed manually (if needed to).

// The items will not be destructed when the container is closedconstcontainer=ContainerMenu.create(actor,FakeContainerType.DoubleChest,false);

This parameter can be overriden when calling item-related methods :

// The old item at slot 0 will not be destructed (destructItems is set to false)container.setItem(0,ItemStack.constructWith("minecraft:diamond",1));// The old item at slot 0 will be destructed (destructItems is overriden to true)container.setItem(0,ItemStack.constructWith("minecraft:diamond",1),true);

All items can be destructed at once :

// This is called automatically if destructItems is set to truecontainer.destructAllItems();
