Ennui's Bigger Inventories
by Ennui
Ennui's Bigger Inventories adds a tenth column to the player inventory, chests, barrels and shulker boxes, while keeping the vanilla look.
What it does
The inventory overhaul adds a tenth column to the player inventory and to containers such as chests, barrels and shulker boxes. The extra slot fits into the existing screens, which are slightly redesigned to use the wider space. A new world can be created with the expansion switched on from the Create World screen, and an existing world can be converted from the Edit World screen.
The mod requires Fabric API and runs on Fabric or Quilt. Players need it installed; a server can run it to host 10x4 inventory worlds, and a server that stays on nine columns still works for players who have the mod. Compatibility with 9x4 worlds is noted by the author, including worlds that use the offhand slot. Files are published for 1.20.1, 1.21, 1.21.1, 1.21.3, 1.21.4 and 1.21.5, with snapshot builds published as well. The code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved. Ennui's Bigger Gambiarra is an official compatibility mod for other inventory-changing mods and requires this mod to be present.
Key features
Tenth inventory column
Every inventory gains a tenth column, so the player carries more items without changing the vanilla layout.
Container expansion
Chests, barrels and shulker boxes get the same extra column, so storage keeps pace with the player inventory.
Conversion of existing worlds
The Edit World screen has an Expand Inventories button that converts a nine-column world to the larger inventory.
Enlarged toolbars
The tenth slot is bigger than the others and can hold saved toolbars, which keeps the hotbar usable at a glance.

Inventory+ runs on client and server together, works on Fabric and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.11 and is open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. Full Inventory GUI is Fabric-only, needs client and server together, and is under All rights reserved for 1.20.1 – 1.21.11.
