[Tutorial] Create an inventory

Before you read this thread remember: This is not a tutorial on how to create a teleportation compass -something but it will show you how to create the required stuff to make it.

First make a new class, make it a listener class.



Now we're gonna create the inventory

Code:java

 public static Inventory inventoryname = Bukkit.createInventory(null, 54, "Inventory Name");
// ^ the amount of slots (Must be multiple of 9) 

Now let's define some items, in this case: 1 Diamond.

Code:java

static{
ItemStack diamond = new ItemStack(Material.DIAMOND, 1);
}

So let's add this item to the inventory now

Code:java

 inventory.setItem(diamond, 0);
// ^ inventory name ^ item ^ slot in inv (slot 1 = 0)

OPTIONAL: Now let's make so the player can't take these items

Code:java

 @EventHandler
public void onInventoryClick(InventoryClickEvent event) {
Player player = (Player) event.getWhoClicked(); // The player that clicked the item
ItemStack clicked = event.getCurrentItem(); // The item that was clicked
Inventory inventory = event.getInventory(); // The inventory that was clicked in
   if (inventory.getName().equals(diamond.getName())) {
if (clicked.getType() == Material.DIAMOND) { // The item that the player clicked it (diamond)
event.setCancelled(true);// Make it so the diamond is back in it's spot
player.closeInventory();
}
}

Open the inventory

Code:java

 
player.openInventory(inventory);

If you know how, you can use ItemMeta's to set Displaynames and lores.

Class made up for you (It makes you so when you right click a diamond it opens)

This line of code is not only syntactically invalid, but it also doesn't do what you're trying to.

Code:java

 
    if (inventory.getName().equals(inventory.getName())) {Inventory
 

Also you should rename this tutorial, it's not about creating an inventory, (which is a one-line api call) it's about creating an inventory MENU.

 

metalhedd Okay I suck at this... I said you were wrong, I wasn't in the pastebin but I was here. I shall fix it now, and how do I change the title? It's not letting me.

 

I don't know, never had to do it before, but it can be done because people constantly add [solved] to their titles.

There's no reason to use a static initializer to add items to the inventory

 

Doesn't work for me without it.

 

Bump

 

The static initializer is called when the class is loaded. Put that in a constructor.

Why bump a resource?

 

This is almost exactly the same to JPG2000 's custom inventory...
