How to create a furnace view?

I know there's a method called openWorkbench(), but how would I create a furnace view without needing an actual tile entity? Is it possible? What about anvils and brewing stands too?

Can somebody help me?

Bukkit#createInventory

 

Will that allow the furnace to act normally? And what about enchanting?

 

They will work. If you use the furnace or brewing stand, I believe you will need to store the items otherwise they will be lost when the player closes the inventory.

 

Okay thanks. Does this also work for anvils?

So I created the inventory, and showed it. I can put items in, but the furnace does not actually activate. How do I get it to work?

This also happens when I try the brewing stand.

I have no idea then, I was just taking a guess. Sorry :/

 

Code:

new BukkitRunnable() {

                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        Inventory inv = Bukkit.createInventory(player, InventoryType.FURNACE, "Portable Furnace");
                        player.closeInventory();
                        player.openInventory(inv);
                    }

                }.runTaskLater(plugin, 1);

By the way, this is my java code to create the furnace. This shows it properly, but it does nothing when I try and use it. This also happens with brewing stands. I am using the latest version of spigot 1.8.3

Thanks for the help tho.

@Pocketkid2
Why do you have a BukkitRunnable for opening a furnace inventory?
Just create the new Inventory and then use player.openInventory();

Your runnable will continuously create an inventory, close it then open it.

Code:

Inventory inv = Bukkit.createInventory(player, InventoryType.FURNACE, "Portable Furnace");
player.openInventory(inv);

 

You do not understand. First, of all, if you see here https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/bukkit/ it says that you should not call those methods to open new inventories from an eventhandler, in which my code was. Therefore, I had to create a bukkit runnable, which solves the problem just fine.

Second, I use closeInventory() to close the inventory that is currently being shown to the player. This is NOT the same as the new Inventory variable I store on the line before. After I close the current one, if there is one, then I can safely open the new one that I just stored in the variable 'inv'.
