Piggy Inventory
by porkyoot
Piggy Inventory is a Fabric utility mod for 1.21.1 that automates tool and weapon switching and adds inventory management tools, all on the client.
What it does
Auto Tool Swap picks a tool for the block being mined. Silk Touch and Fortune preferences can be set for each ore, and the swap respects enchantments such as Efficiency and Unbreaking. Auto Weapon Swap works the same way for combat, choosing a weapon with damage enchantments like Sharpness, Smite, Bane of Arthropods and similar ones.
Inventory management is covered by auto-refill mechanics, sorting of items within containers, and scroll-based item movement with quick loot. The mod is inspired by Inventory Profiles Next, Mouse Tweaks and Inventory Tabs, and it is aimed at making item handling in containers faster. Piggy Inventory is client-side only, so only the player needs it, and it is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, which places the code in the public domain and makes it open source. Its source code is public, and the author plans a Forge and NeoForge port, while noting that the project is a personal one and issues may remain.
