Shared Inventory
by Redstoned
Shared Inventory lets players on a server link their inventories with others, so that items placed in a shared group are synced for every member.
What it does
Players can form groups, and each group gets its own shared inventory that stays in sync for all of its members. Items placed into the shared inventory show up for every player in the group at the same time, which is the core of the mechanic. Joining and leaving a group updates the inventory for the affected player without a restart, and the change takes effect as the player moves in or out.
Shared Inventory is a Fabric mod that runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. It targets 1.21.4 – 26.3 across 10 release versions, and the latest Fabric file is 1.2.4 for 26.3. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source, with a public source repository and issue tracker.
Key features
Linked group inventories
Players can be linked to one another so that a single inventory is shared between them.
Synced shared storage
Changes made to a group's inventory are synchronized so every member sees the same contents.
Live joining and leaving
A player who enters or exits a group has the shared inventory updated immediately, without a server restart.
Independent group storage
Each group keeps its own shared inventory, separate from the storage of other groups.

Use cases
Team play on a server
A group of friends can keep common supplies in one place, drawing from the same chest while building together.
Minigame groups
Minigame servers can give each team a shared inventory, so members pool resources during a round.
Who it’s for: Server owners who run survival or minigame servers with teams, and players who want to share storage with a small group of friends.
