I'm working on a mod that adds a furnace-like block, and everything works great on the technical side now, but for some reason the displayed slots don't update until I close and reopen the GUI. Mind, the items still get processed correctly, it just doesn't update the slots while the GUI is open, though text and textures in the GUI tick correctly. What am I missing?
Edit: I'm working on a 1.16.5 Forge mod.

gonna guess that you out the procedure on GUI Open Tick.
No the procedure is on the block's update tick, else processing the items obviously wouldn't work while the GUI is closed, which it does
It's really just the slots not showing changes in real time although the contents change
I don't understand the problem, can you take a video or smt?
This would be a little sloppy but could you make it so that as soon as it smelts it closes and reopens the gui in like a couple ticks?
I thought about doing that as a workaround, but I'm not sure how to do that
Update: I found out what's causing that behavior, it's because I had my block be replaced with a different block when fuel decreased below a certain point, and apparently the GUI doesn't update the slots to the new block, meaning it desyncs and doesn't show changes anymore. So if anyone stumbles upon this with the same problem, you will have to use actual block states instead of the block being replaced.
