nauttacinv
by ufc07963
nauttacinv replaces the player's personal inventory screen with a tactical-styled GUI and adds a nearby loot pickup function for Forge 1.20.1.
What it does
The overhaul applies only to the player's own inventory screen. Storage blocks such as chests and barrels, and the containers added by other mods, keep their existing interfaces, so the new look does not change how they open. Support for curio slots is included, and the mod targets 1.20.1 alone.
Items lying on the ground near the character can be picked up directly from the inventory menu, which is part of the new GUI. The mod is described as suited to military-themed packs, shooters, RPG servers and zombie apocalypse survival, and as a good fit for servers and modpacks aimed at vanilla survival. Compatibility with combat-oriented mods is listed as a feature.
Installation needs Forge for 1.20.1. Each player installs it; a server may add it but does not have to. The code is under All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source, and the only published build is 1.0.0 for 1.20.1, released on 2026-05-26.
Key features
Tactical inventory GUI
A restyled player inventory screen with a tactical aesthetic replaces the default layout on the player's own inventory.
Curio slot support
The inventory layout accommodates curio slots, so curio items can sit within the same screen.
Nearby loot collection
Items on the ground near the character can be picked up through the inventory menu without walking over them.
Storage screens left intact
Storage blocks and the containers added by other mods keep their own interfaces.

Who it’s for: Players and server owners running Forge 1.20.1 modpacks with combat, shooter or survival themes who want a tactical-styled player inventory.
How it compares
Sound GUI is a client-side only Forge option for 1.20.1, released under All rights reserved and not open source. Back Weapon Slot is client and server for 1.18.2 – 1.20.1 under the MIT License and is open source, so it adds a weapon slot rather than a restyled inventory. Michael Mayhem is also a client and server mod for 1.20.1 under All rights reserved, not open source.

What the author says
Universal Interface: The new tactical aesthetic is applied not only to the player’s personal inventory but also universally to all types of storage (chests, barrels, Shulker boxes, and containers from other mods). Recommended Usage: This mod is highly recommended for use on servers and modpacks that are not intended…
