Player Inventory Sync
by Holysweet
Player Inventory Sync corrects inventory desyncs in NeoForge, so that items stop jumping back to their previous slot after a client action.
What it does
When a desync happens, the client shows an inventory state the server has not confirmed, and the stack snaps back once the sync arrives. Player Inventory Sync addresses this by keeping the two sides aligned, which reduces the cases where blocks seem to vanish after placement, buckets scoop from the wrong source, or items land in unexpected hotbar or container slots. The author reports that opening a chest can bring a missing container view back, and that the same fix covers the hotbar in that situation.
The mod is built for NeoForge and is published for 1.21.1 – 1.21.8, with files for each of the eight release versions in that range. Latest file is 1.0.2 for 1.21.8, released 2025-09-03. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. It works on both dedicated servers and single-player worlds, and it is dropped into the mods folder like any other NeoForge mod. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker.
