Fabric Inventory API without having to use private code

[TheDrawingCoder-Gamer]

I found an old answer for forge, and that still applies, but on fabric the peripheral wraps into a class that is inside the private impl, thus is unstable and could change at any time. Is there a nice way to use the storage without pulling in the private impl?

The private code is here

Hi! Can you explain what you're trying to do? Normally I wouldn't expect other mods to need to reference the inventory methods at all — they should be provided automatically if you expose an inventory storage.

I want to do something like advanced peripherials ME Bridge but for fabric - I looked at their code (and the old answer I was referring to is about this) but their code is forge specific, and I was unsure of a nice conversion for fabric.

Ahh, are you referring to #718? If you just need to find other inventories on the system (to transfer items into/out of), then you don't need the StorageWrapper and can just do something like InventoryMethods.extractHandler

Wouldn't that make it not work for sided inventories, as GenericPeripheral is private?

[SquidDev]

The sided lookup is only used as a fallback in the case a mod (incorrertly!) doesn't supply an inventory for the null side. This is pretty rare, so generally you don't need to worry about that.

This is something I need to clean up and make more public-facing — its on my todo list for 1.21.4/1.21.5.
