Novalis
by Durrd
Novalis lets players drag items across several open containers and menus in one motion, instead of clicking each slot.
What it does
Holding the mouse button and moving across slots places items in more than one inventory window at once, so a player can sort or move stacks without repeated clicks. A shift-and-click action sends items directly between the player's inventory and the open menu, which speeds up routine transfers.
Novalis is built to keep the interface responsive, and it runs on the client only. A server does not need it, and players can join vanilla multiplayer servers with it installed. It requires Fabric and is published for 1.21.4 with the MIT License, not as open source.
Key features
Multi-container drag
Dragging across slots moves items into different containers in a single motion, rather than one stack at a time.
Shift-and-click transfers
Shift-clicking a stack in a menu sends it straight to the matching section, keeping the interface uncluttered.
Vanilla server compatibility
Because the mod changes only the client, players can join unmodified multiplayer servers without issues.
