Advanced Inventory
by arthademon
Advanced Inventory raises the item stack limit and adds a search field and a secondary hotbar to the player inventory on Forge.
What it does
Stacks can hold more than the vanilla 64 items, and the default limit is set to 50,000. Stacks larger than 64 are combined automatically when moved with an inventory sorter. In Creative mode, a stack bigger than 64 can be picked up only one block at a time, a limit the author judges acceptable because Creative players need one block per placement anyway.
The stack size is adjusted in the server config. Changing the limitStackSize value and reopening the world applies the new limit. The mod also adds a search field for large inventories, and a secondary hotbar that displays items as an extra inventory row for sorting and storing tools. Items can move to that second hotbar automatically.
Advanced Inventory runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for Forge only, across four game versions, 1.20.1 – 1.20.4, with 1.1.3 for 1.20.4 as the latest file. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Larger item stacks
Stacks hold far more than 64 items, with the default limit set at 50,000 in the server config.
Search field
A search field in the inventory filters items by name, so a specific item can be located in a full inventory.
Secondary hotbar
An extra row of slots shows items like a chest and receives items moved there automatically.
Adjustable stack limit
The limitStackSize value can be changed in the server config, and the new size takes effect after reopening the world.
