Equipment API

The API is very simple, it mostly consists of registering an EquipmentType, which handles what can be placed in a slot, the appearance of that slot, and what happens when that slot changes.

Registering a basic slot:

EquipmentApi.registerEquipment(YOUR_EQUIPMENT_ID, new EquipmentType() {
	
	ResourceLocation overlay = new ResourceLocation(YOURMODID, "textures/YOUR_SLOT_OVERLAY.png");
	
	@Override
	/* The texture to overlay on the slot (displays below the item) */
	public ResourceLocation getSlotOverlay(ItemStack stack) {
		return overlay;
		// you may also want to do `return stack == null ? null : overlay;`
		// this will make the background image disappear when you place an item in the slot
	}
	
	@Override
	/* Whether the player can take the supplied stack out of the slot */
	public boolean canRemoveStack(ItemStack stack, EntityPlayer player) {
		return true;
	}
	
	@Override
	/* Whether the player can place the supplied stack in the slot */
	public boolean canPlaceStack(ItemStack stack) {
		return stack != null && stack.getItem() != null && stack.getItem() == Items.arrow;
	}
	
	@Override
	/* The maximum stack size of this slot */
	public int getStackLimit() {
		return 64;
	}

	@Override
	/* The text description to show on hover, "\n" will work */
	public String getSlotDescription(EntityPlayer player) {
		return "Arrows";
	}
	
	@Override
	/* This is called whenever the slot is changed */
	public void onChange(ItemStack from, ItemStack to,
			EntityPlayer player) {
		
	}
});
