Frostbyte's Improved Inventory

by FrostbyteGames

With Frostbyte's Improved Inventory, the inventory and hotbar gain automatic refilling, tool selection, sorting and a search bar for container blocks.

FabricClient-side onlyCreative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.01.19.4 – 26.3

What it does

The mod changes how the inventory screen, the hotbar and the HUD behave on the client. Hotbar slots refill from a matching stack in the inventory, and a slot can be swapped to a mining tool when a block is mined or to a weapon when attacking. Containers can be sorted in place, and a search bar filters the items shown in a container, including shulker boxes. Armor durability and the remaining timers of status effects appear on screen. A paperdoll shows the player model in the style of Bedrock Edition, and the WAILA-style overlay names the block entity under the crosshair.

Every feature can be toggled and customized through its config file or through the Mod Menu config screen. Mod Menu is optional; without it, the same options are edited in the config file. The mod requires Fabric API and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL), both of which must be installed alongside it on Fabric.

Only the player's game needs it, and servers run without it. It is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 license and is not open source. Its source code and issue tracker are public. Files cover 1.19.4 – 26.3, with 1.13.2-26.3 as the latest Fabric file for 26.3.

Key features

  1. Hotbar stack refilling

    When a stack in a hotbar slot runs out, the slot is refilled from a matching stack elsewhere in the inventory.

  2. Automatic tool selection

    A hotbar slot is swapped to a tool suited to the block being mined or to the target being attacked.

  3. Container sorting and search

    The open container can be sorted, and a search bar highlights matching items in chests and other container blocks.

  4. Durability and armor display

    Durability of the held item and the armor worn is shown on screen, with the armor bar icons colored by material.

  5. Status effect timers

    Bars overlay the screen to show the remaining duration of each active status effect.
