Hey, I'm having trouble with my custom chest. What I want is to make it so that the player can only hold 6 certain items (from my mod) in the chest. I already have the chest created and working and all that. I heard that you can restrict items from being put into containers with the "isStackValidForSlot" thing.

public boolean isStackValidForSlot(int par1, ItemStack par2ItemStack)
    {
	    return true;
    }

I just don't know what to put in to make it restrict all but those 6 items in those slots.

int id = par2ItemStack.itemID;
if(id == myItemID1 || id == myitemID2 ...)
{
    return true;
}
return false;

Or perhaps something like this

	    public static Set validItems = new HashSet();

	    public boolean isStackValidForSlot(int par1, ItemStack par2ItemStack)
	    {
		    if (par2ItemStack != null)
		    {
			    Item item = par2ItemStack.getItem();
			    return item != null && validItems.contains(item);
		    }
		    return false;
	    }

Then you can add valid items for the slot with YourTileEntity.validItems.add(item)

Thanks everyone. I'll try these out once I get home from school.
