SlotWidget

The SlotWidget represents an interactive item slot within a container GUI. This widget supports configurable properties such as whether items can be taken or placed, customizable hover overlays and tooltips, and integration with JEI/REI/EMI systems for displaying ingredient details. It can be configured to represent a slot in either a standard inventory container or via an item transfer handler.

Note

You cannot modify slot widget size.

APIs

setContainerSlot

Associates the widget with an inventory container by specifying the slot index. e.g. player inventory.

Java / KubeJS

var player = ...;
slotWidget.setContainerSlot(player.getInventory(), 2); // bind the player inventory of 2 index.

---

setHandlerSlot

Configures the widget to use an item transfer handler with the specified slot index.

Java

For Java User !!!

If you want to use the handler of ItemStackHandler(from forge) or Storage<ItemVariant>(from fabric), you need one more line. Because Forge and Fabric has different APIs, you need to convert the handler into the LDLib one, which can be found in ItemTransferHelperImpl.

ForgeFabric

var itemHandler = ...;
var itemTransfer = ItemTransferHelperImpl.toItemTransfer(itemHandler);

var storage = ...;
var itemTransfer = ItemTransferHelperImpl.toItemTransfer(storage);

KubeJS

KubeJS user do not need to do such mess. We have already convert them into a item transfer internal already.

KubeJS

slotWidget.setHandlerSlot(itemTransfer, 0);

---

setItem

Set the internal itemstack with/without notify.

Java / KubeJS

slotWidget.setItem(itemstack); // it will also trigger the listen you set
slotWidget.setItem(itemstack, false); // it wont trigger the listen

---

getItem

Get the internal itemstack stored.

Java / KubeJS

var itemstack = slotWidget.getItem();

---

setChangeListener

Configures additional slot location information, such as whether it belongs to the player container or hotbar. It will affect the shift move behaviour.

JavaKubeJS

slotWidget.setChangeListener(() -> {
    var last = slotWidget.getLastItem();
    var current = slotWidget.getItem();
});

slotWidget.setChangeListener(() => {
    let last = slotWidget.getLastItem();
    let current = slotWidget.getItem();
});

---

canPutStack

Whether can put stack into the slot.

Java / KubeJS

slotWidget.canPutStack(true);

---

canTakeStack

Whether can take stack from the slot.

Java / KubeJS

slotWidget.canTakeStack(true);

---

setLocationInfo

Configures additional slot location information, such as whether it belongs to the player container or hotbar. It will affect the shift move behaviour.

Java / KubeJS

slotWidget.setLocationInfo(true, false); // (isPlayerContainer isPlayerHotBar)
