Sophisticated GUI
by andrea.
Sophisticated GUI lets players move items directly into functional blocks from a toggleable screen, and it needs Sophisticated Backpacks to run.
What it does
The mod changes how items reach functional blocks: a toggleable GUI lets a player use backpacks to move stacks straight into the blocks that accept them. Sophisticated Backpacks is a required dependency, so it must be installed alongside this mod.
Both client and server need the mod, so a server and every player on it must run it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, covering game versions 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and the project is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Toggleable item GUI
A screen that can be switched on or off moves items from backpacks into nearby functional blocks.
Backpack-driven transfers
Backpacks serve as the source of the items, so transfers use the storage a player already carries.
Forge and NeoForge builds
Files target both loaders for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with the latest Forge build 2026.5 and NeoForge build 2026.5-NeoForge.
