Sword Art Online: UI
by 0TIME0
Sword Art Online: UI replaces the default inventory with a custom interface inspired by the anime, leaving only the hotbar in place for regular play.
What it does
In survival and adventure play the standard inventory is turned off and players work through an SAO-styled interface instead. Only the hotbar stays as it is, while inventory management and other menus are handled by the custom screens. Creative Mode keeps the default inventory.
The interface covers equipment, items, storage and skills, along with social screens for friends, guilds and parties, plus messaging. Compatibility is listed for skill, quest and map mods. The mod is built for Forge, supports Minecraft 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 and runs on client and server. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Some planned features are marked as coming soon.
