[LEGACY] InvMove (Forge)

by PieKing1215

InvMove lets players walk, jump, sneak and sprint while an inventory or container screen is open, and it is a Forge client mod for 1.16.3 – 1.16.5.

What it does

Normally the game pauses movement while a screen is open. This mod removes that limit for each inventory separately, so a player can keep moving around the world while managing items. Movement, jumping, sneaking and sprinting can each be allowed or blocked, and the darkened background can be hidden so the game keeps its normal look.

The mod is a Forge client mod, so only the client needs it. Servers run without it. It is published for 1.16.3, 1.16.4 and 1.16.5, with 1.16-0.4.6 for 1.16.5 as the latest file on the beta channel. The code is open source and carries a copyleft license, and a source repository and issue tracker are linked from the project.

Installation needs Cloth Config for its config screen to work. The settings are reachable from the Forge mod list, and a pause-screen button can be added by another mod. The older config screen looks different but keeps the same layout.

Key features

  1. Movement inside inventories

    Walking, jumping and sprinting stay active while inventories and containers are open, and each can be toggled.

  2. Sneaking option

    Sneaking inside inventories is off by default, since it can cause accidental shift-clicking, but it can be enabled.

  3. Text fields pause movement

    Movement is disabled while a text field such as a search bar or anvil name box has focus, so typing is not interrupted.

  4. Expandable inventory categories

    Movement can be enabled or disabled for specific groups of inventories, with per-inventory settings in the config menu.

  5. Hidden backgrounds and debug overlay

    The darkened background can be removed, and a debug overlay helps find compatibility problems between mods.

Questions

Does InvMove need to be installed on the server?

No. Only the player's game needs it, and servers run without it.

Does InvMove need Cloth Config?

Yes. Cloth Config is required for the config screen to work.

Is sneaking allowed in inventories by default?

No. Sneaking inside inventories is disabled by default because it can distract from shift-clicking, but it can be turned on in the settings.
