InventoryHUD
InventoryHUD puts a live view of the main inventory on the right side of the screen, so players can check their items without opening it.
What it does
InventoryHUD renders the 27 main inventory slots as an always-on overlay, shown in three rows on the right side of the HUD with each stack and its count. A single key toggles it on or off instantly, and the overlay is drawn behind the chat so the chat and hotbar stay readable. Players can keep an eye on food and blocks during a fight without pressing E.
The overlay is drag-and-drop: it can be moved to any place on the screen, resized from 25% upward, and its position, size and visibility are saved and persist across restarts. Every key can be rebound in the Options Controls menu, and the settings screen opens with K. The mod is client-side only, works on vanilla servers and Realms, and needs nothing installed on the server. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for game versions 1.20.1 – 26.1.2, and the mod is available in English and Japanese. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Live inventory overlay
The three main inventory rows appear on the HUD with item stacks and counts, updated as the inventory changes.
Drag, resize and place
The overlay can be dragged to any spot on screen and resized freely, with changes applied through scrolling and buttons.
Instant show and hide
A single keybind switches the overlay on or off at once, and it is drawn behind the chat so the hotbar stays readable.
Saved settings
Position, size and visibility are stored and restored after the game restarts, and all keys can be rebound.

How it compares
Inventory Item Counts is also a client-side inventory tool, but it is NeoForge only and covers 1.21.1 – 1.21.8, while InventoryHUD runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 26.1.2. TabSwap is also client-side only and open source under the MIT License, but it is Fabric only and covers 1.21.9 – 26.3. Bag Of Holding is a client and server mod under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, so it must be installed on the server as well.

What the author says
See your whole inventory at a glance — no more opening your bag mid-fight. InventoryHUD shows your main inventory (the 27 backpack slots) as a clean, always-on overlay, so you can keep an eye on your items, food and blocks without ever pressing E. Lightweight, fully configurable, and completely client-side.
