 Description   

How to replicate

  • Create a custom inventory with the following code

 

Inventory inventory = Bukkit.getServer().createInventory(player, 54, "DemoGui");
inventory.setItem(0, new ItemStack(Material.APPLE));
player.openInventory(inventory);

  • Cancel every type of InventoryClickEvent 

 

 

@EventHandler
public void inventoryClickEvent(InventoryClickEvent event) {
    event.setCancelled(true);
    System.out.println(event.getAction().toString() + " cancelled.");
}
  • Observe that clicking on the apple with your mouse is correctly cancelled and the item does not move.

 

  • Move your mouse of the item and press "F"
  • Observe that the inventory item is copied to the offhand slot

Expected behaviour:

The item does not get copied to the offhand slot if the InventoryClickEvent is cancelled.

As a workaround it is possible to send a packet with the offhand item on the next tick after event using the following code:

if (event.getClick() == ClickType.SWAP_OFFHAND) {
    final PlayerInventory playerInventory = event.getWhoClicked().getInventory();
    Bukkit.getScheduler().runTask(plugin, () -> playerInventory.setItemInOffHand(playerInventory.getItemInOffHand()));
}

This will be fixed in 1.17:

There is a more general bug somewhere about how updateInventory doesn't affect the clients offhand slot, though I can't find it right now.
This is the same thing, and cannot be fixed by Spigot, it is a client issue and the client simply ignores any update packets spigot sends because the offhand is not part of these guis
