Save and Load Inventories
by Serilum
Save and Load Inventories lets an operator store a player's current inventory under a name and later restore it, using server commands.
What it does
Commands save the current inventory of a player to a named file, load a saved file into a player's inventory, and list the saved inventories. Saving with a name such as diamond writes a file called diamond, and loading that name later restores the same items. Shortened aliases exist for the common commands, so saving a food kit can be done with a short command and loading it with another.
An operator can use the mod to hand a kit to another player, prepare a set of items for an event, or reset a player to a known state. NBT data is kept, so items such as written books and enchantments are stored with their contents. The mod is useful for administrators running events on a server.
Collective is required and must be installed alongside the mod. The mod runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with builds for 29 release versions across 1.16.5 – 26.3. Only the server needs it. Players need cheat access to run the commands, so the mod is not usable by ordinary players without that permission.
Key features
Named inventory saves
The current inventory of a player is written to a file under a chosen name, and can be restored later with the matching load command.
Inventory listing
A command lists the saved inventory files so an operator can see which kits are available.
Shortened commands
Aliases such as si and li shorten the save and load commands for frequent use.
NBT data support
Item NBT is kept when saving, so written books, enchantments and similar item data return unchanged after loading.
