Guidelines Read: Yes

 Description   

Please add a method to check if a certain InventoryHolder's Inventory can be opened because there are several hard-to-check-for ways that this could be blocked:

  • Some materials above chests/enderchests allow for opening, some don't
  • A cat sitting on top of a chest
  • Double chest handling is even more complicated in those cases.
  • Some InventoryHolders don't have such requirements at all (like furnaces)

Therefore an isOpenable method that checks on the serverside if a player would be able to open a certain container would be very helpful and makes code much more elegant as lots of special cases could be avoided.

I assume you want to check the holder isOpenable before you access the container using Player#openInventory ?

I feel as if this would only be used in a select few cases, and anyways, why would you not just listen for an InventoryOpenEvent and then modify that? To me it seems like an easier solution on both ends of the situation.
