Action Inventory Mod
by hoid2
Action Inventory Mod lets server owners create custom inventories whose clicked items trigger actions such as giving items, sending messages or running commands.
What it does
Inventories are defined in configuration, and each one can carry its own title. The items placed in them can show custom names and lore, including full NBT data from version 3.5.0 onward. When a player clicks one of these items, the mod runs the action attached to it, such as a GiveAction that hands over an item or a message and command action.
The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything, and the server alone runs it. It requires Fabric API, and it bundles Text Placeholder API, which lets titles and messages use placeholders from version 3.4.0 onward. Files are published for Fabric across 10 release versions, 1.17 – 1.20.4, under the MIT License, and the source code is open.
Key features
Custom inventory menus
Server owners define inventories that open for players and hold items they can click.
Click actions
Each clickable item can be bound to an action, so a click has a set result on the server.
Titles, names and lore
Inventory titles, item names and lore can be set, including full NBT data on items.
Give and message actions
A GiveAction hands items to the player, and message and command actions send text or run commands.

Who it’s for: Server owners and administrators who want interactive menus on a Fabric server. Players need no installation.

Action Bar Coordinates is a client-side only Fabric mod for 1.19.3 – 1.21.3 under the MIT License, showing coordinates in the action bar, which is a different purpose. Keep Inventory Always is a server-required mod with client optional, released under the MIT License for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 1.13 – 26.3, and it keeps items on death rather than building menus.
