Salt's Inventory Update

by Salt_and_Fries

Salt's Inventory Update replaces the single-screen inventory with separate movable windows, so containers and the player inventory can stay open side by side.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.1 – 26.3

What it does

Normally a container takes over the whole screen and repeats the player inventory underneath it. This mod splits the player inventory, creative inventory and character controls into individual windows, and each open container gets its own. Panels can be dragged, resized, pinned or locked where the platform supports it, which makes it easier to compare inventories and move items between containers while keeping useful panels nearby.

The hotbar stays the actual hotbar HUD instead of a duplicate inside the inventory screen. Holding Alt while windows are open lets the mouse interact with the hotbar, and the offhand slot sits beside it. A separate Character Window, opened with C, presents armor, a live player figure, status readings and the 2x2 crafting grid, while the main inventory stays focused on storage. The mod is open source under the MIT License and requires Fabric API. It is client and server, and files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with builds for 1.20.1 – 26.3.

Key features

  1. Movable inventory windows

    Each container and the player inventory open in their own window, which can be dragged, resized, pinned or locked.

  2. Hotbar as a live HUD

    The real hotbar stays active while windows are open, and items can move directly into or out of it.

  3. Character Window

    A dedicated window opened with C shows armor, a live player figure, status readings and the 2x2 crafting grid.

  4. Optional expandable inventory

    When enabled in the config, players can trade XP levels for extra inventory slots over time, and the slots save with player sync.

Questions

Does Salt's Inventory Update need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is listed as a required dependency, and it must be installed next to the mod.

Does the server need the mod for multiplayer?

Yes. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. The config option for expandable slots is applied through the server.

Is the expandable inventory on by default?

No. The expandable inventory system is an optional setting that has to be enabled in the config before players can earn extra slots with XP levels.
