BL Inventory Peek
by BattryLeaf
With BL Inventory Peek, the main inventory stays visible as a compact HUD panel in the bottom-right corner while the player keeps playing.
What it does
The panel shows the 27 main inventory slots without opening the inventory screen. When a player selects a hotbar item, every slot holding the same item is highlighted, which makes it quicker to spot. Stack counts and durability bars are drawn in the same style as vanilla overlays, so the display blends into the existing HUD rather than standing out.
The mod targets gameplay where opening the inventory interrupts the action, such as building, combat, bridging, elytra travel, speedrunning and resource gathering on survival or multiplayer servers. It is a Fabric mod for 1.21.11 only, released under a Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial No Derivatives 4.0 license, so it is not open source. Servers do not need it; each player installs it for their own game.
Files are published for 1.21.11 only, with version 2.15.3 as the latest build, dated 2026-05-10. The first release was on 2026-05-07.
