Handy Bags
by peanutsponge
Handy Bags lets a player carry a set of unique items and blocks in bags that can be selected from the inventory without opening a separate menu.
What it does
Handy Bags is aimed at builders who run short of inventory room. A bag holds nine unique stacks instead of a single 64-block stack, and items are added to a bag by putting them in its slots. Bags take priority over the main inventory when the mod decides where an item goes, so a block that belongs in a bag is not left loose in the inventory.
Selection can be done with the radial menu, with the scroll wheel while holding alt, or by cycling to the next or previous bag. The arrow keys act as slot keys, and the middle mouse button picks a block from a bag. A bag keeps its last block, and a tool is never used up while it has durability left to spare.
The mod is published for Quilt only and needs Quilted Fabric API (QFAPI) and Quilt Standard Libraries (QSL) installed beside it. Files target 1.20 – 1.21.1 across nine release versions, with 1.0.3+1.20.1 for 1.21.1 as the latest file. Both sides must run it, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Unique-stack storage
A bag holds nine different stacks, where a vanilla bundle-style slot would hold one item type in 64 blocks.
Radial and scroll selection
Bags are chosen from a radial menu, with the scroll wheel while holding alt, or by cycling to the next or previous bag.
Block and tool use
Blocks are placed from a bag without using up its last one, and tools are not consumed while they still have durability.
Pick block from a bag
The middle mouse button picks a block from a bag, and the arrow keys serve as slot keys.

Use cases
Building with many block types
A builder who uses many block types can keep them in bags and reach each one without filling the main inventory.
Who it’s for: Players who build with a wide variety of blocks and run short of inventory space. Server owners who want the same storage for every player need the mod on the server as well.
