Packed Inventory

by Kira-NT

Rather than placing a shulker box or ender chest, players can keep items in it while carrying it, then pull them back out through keybinds.

FabricClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.17.1 – 1.20.4

What it does

Players can manage the contents of shulker boxes and ender chests directly from the inventory screen, without placing either block. Stored items can be moved out quickly, and the same handling applies to other inventory-providing items. Players pick up the item, press K to store or retrieve, and use L with Ctrl to extract items. Vanilla-like tooltips show the contents of shulker boxes, ender chests, filled maps and items with NBT data, including those acquired in Creative mode through Ctrl and middle click. Tooltips also cover chests, barrels, furnaces, hoppers and dispensers.

Items registered through the Packed Inventory API gain the same bundle-like behavior, so other mods can make their items work the same way. Crafting tables, stonecutters and other workstations can be accessed directly from the inventory. The keybinds are configured like vanilla ones, and they are applied only while an inventory screen is open, so they do not interfere with other keys.

Packed Inventory requires Fabric API. Cloth Config API and Mod Menu are optional. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source, with public links for source, issues and a wiki. Builds cover 1.17.1 – 1.20.4, with 0.3.0+1.20.3 for 1.20.4 as the latest Fabric file.

  4. Workstation access

  5. Packed Inventory API

    Other mods can register their inventory-providing items so they gain the same bundle-like handling.
