Struct ContainerLockGuard 

pub struct ContainerLockGuard {
    sources: Vec<(ContainerId, ContainerRef)>,
    guards: Vec<(ContainerId, LockedContainer)>,
    id_to_index: FxHashMap<ContainerId, usize>,
}

A guard that holds locks on multiple containers in a deterministic order.

This struct ensures that when multiple containers need to be locked simultaneously, they are always locked in the same order (by pointer address) to prevent deadlocks.

Example

let player_inv = ContainerRef::from(player_inv_arc);
let chest = ContainerRef::from(chest_arc);

let mut guard = ContainerLockGuard::lock_all(&[&player_inv, &chest]);

// Access containers by their IDs
let player_id = player_inv.container_id();
if let Some(inv) = guard.get_mut(player_id) {
    // Modify the player inventory
}

Fields

sources: Vec<(ContainerId, ContainerRef)>

guards: Vec<(ContainerId, LockedContainer)>

id_to_index: FxHashMap<ContainerId, usize>

Implementations

impl ContainerLockGuard

pub fn lock_all<C>(containers: &[C]) -> Self

where C: Borrow<ContainerRef>,

Create a new lock guard and lock all containers in deterministic order.

Containers are sorted by their pointer address before locking to ensure a consistent lock order across all call sites, preventing deadlocks. Duplicate containers (same Arc) are automatically deduplicated.

pub fn get_disjoint_mut<const N: usize>( &mut self, ids: [ContainerId; N], ) -> Option<[&mut dyn Container; N]>

Get mutable access to N locked containers simultaneously

Returns None if any ID is not locked or if any IDs are duplicates

pub fn relock(self, containers: &[&ContainerRef]) -> Self

Unlock all containers and relock with a new set.

This should only be called when you need to add more containers mid-operation. All existing references from get()/get_mut() are invalidated.

pub fn get(&self, id: impl Into<ContainerId>) -> Option<&dyn Container>

Get immutable access to a locked container.

pub fn get_mut( &mut self, id: impl Into<ContainerId>, ) -> Option<&mut dyn Container>

Get mutable access to a locked container.

This bypasses owner notification and is only for deliberate no-update mutation or callers that establish the notification boundary separately.

pub fn set_item( &mut self, id: impl Into<ContainerId>, slot: usize, stack: ItemStack, ) -> bool

Mirrors a container’s own setItem call.

Vanilla block-entity containers call BlockEntity::setChanged from setItem, before a Slot::set performs its separate notification.

pub fn remove_item( &mut self, id: impl Into<ContainerId>, slot: usize, amount: i32, ) -> Option<ItemStack>

Mirrors a container’s own conditional removeItem notification.

pub fn set_changed(&mut self, id: impl Into<ContainerId>) -> bool

Calls Container::set_changed and synchronously notifies its owner after releasing every lock held by this guard.

pub(crate) fn run_unlocked<R>(&mut self, callback: impl FnOnce() -> R) -> R

Runs a callback after releasing every container, then reacquires the same sources in deterministic order before returning.

fn notify_owner(&mut self, owner: Option<Arc<BlockEntityBase>>)

pub fn get_typed<T>(&self, id: impl Into<ContainerId>) -> Option<&T>

where T: Container + DowncastType,

Gets immutable access when the locked container has concrete type T.

pub fn get_typed_mut<T>(&mut self, id: impl Into<ContainerId>) -> Option<&mut T>

where T: Container + DowncastType,

Gets mutable access when the locked container has concrete type T.

This bypasses owner notification and is only for deliberate no-update mutation or callers that establish the notification boundary separately.

pub fn get_two_typed_mut<A, B>( &mut self, first: impl Into<ContainerId>, second: impl Into<ContainerId>, ) -> Option<(&mut A, &mut B)>

where A: Container + DowncastType, B: Container + DowncastType,

Gets mutable access to two distinct concrete containers.

This bypasses owner notification and is only for deliberate no-update mutation or callers that establish the notification boundary separately.

pub fn contains(&self, id: ContainerId) -> bool

Check if a container is locked.
