DayZ Inventory
by suoim
DayZ Inventory replaces automatic item pickup with a Vicinity grid that gathers nearby ground items and storage blocks into one scrollable container.
What it does
Instead of picking up items by walking over them, players loot deliberately from a Vicinity panel. A proximity scanner reads ground items, chests, barrels and shulker boxes within a 3-block radius and combines them into a single scrollable grid under a VICINITY header. Each nearby storage block appears as a selector with its slot icons, and hovering shows its coordinates and distance. Clicking a selector opens a slide-out drawer of slots directly below the Vicinity items.
The mod reworks the inventory interface to follow the look and mechanics of the DayZ inventory system. The active hotbar slot is mirrored in the HUD, the attachment slot uses a translucent panel, and items held in hands render at 2.0x scale inside 32x32 pixel slots. The inventory screen and HUD share one look. Fabric API is required, and the mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge from a single source tree. DayZ Hotbar is recommended for integration. Curios API and Trinkets add accessory slots where installed, and EMI, JEI, Mod Menu and REI are optional. The mod runs without the optional dependencies.

What the author says
A complete overhaul of the Minecraft inventory UI, bringing the look, feel, and mechanics of the DayZ inventory system into Minecraft. Really recommended with DayZ Hotbar — seamless integration. The two are built as a pair, so the HUD and the inventory screen share one look.
