Support for Ender Utilities' Handy Bag

[valarnin]

Ender Utilities has a lovely item called the Handy Bag which acts as a modular extendable bag.

Would it be possible to add support for this bag?

I would assume the following basic logic would work:

• Call static ItemHandyBag.getOpenableBag to get an ItemStack for a bag in the player's inventory.
• Cast to ItemModular
• Call ItemModular.getSelectedModuleStack to get the module
• Cast to ItemStackHandlerBasic
• Use the methods from ItemStackHandlerBasic to determine if the bag has the items needed, remove them, etc.

Is there a reason you know about, why they don't expose the ItemHandler cap? (Just curious... I'm pretty sure we can do that (Though it annoys me a bit to add integrations for every mod out there which decises to make up it's own Item System - of course I know there are a few short-comings of the ItemHandler cap, but it's still annoying))

A note on your propsed way of retrieving it: this way we'd only get the first openable bag... We'd need to get all of them, especially for the copy-paste Gadget. Aka we'll just check for an openable bag whilst iterating over the Inventory ourselves (which is more efficient anyway)

No clue. Maybe something to do with the way they handle the modules themselves, but I'm not really a mod dev.

Sounds fine to me. I was just providing an example to make it easier to understand the code required, since I checked their source first to make sure it was possible. Technically you should be able to access all 4 modules for a given handy bag instead of just the active module as well if that were a path you wanted to go down.

Realistically I'd write this myself and submit a PR but I've tried 3 times to get a working dev environment up for MC and failed each time. I can compile the mods but not debug, all attempts to launch MC from a dev environment fail and it's probably something with my setup (Gentoo linux).

If you are using IntelliJ, here is the sequence that worked every time for me (Manjaro)

1. Open build.gradle using IDEA's import project
2. Open the Gradle tab, should be on the left tool bar
3. forgegradle > setupDecompWorksapce, wait
4. forgegradle > genIntellijRuns, wait
5. Import (refreshing button on Gradle tab)
6. Minecraft Client > Edit Configurations > set module to BuildingGadgets.main

Please open a new issue @P3rf3ctXZer0

As we're coming to the final version of 1.12 I'm going to go ahead and close this issue. If the mod in question updates to 1.14 then please reopen the issue.
