Inventory Essentials Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I use Inventory Essentials Mod?
Just hover over an item in any inventory and use the mod's click shortcuts, no keybinds or setup required. Control-click moves a single item, shift-control-click moves all stacks of that item type, and shift-click quick-moves items between inventories.
How do I move just one item instead of the whole stack?
Hold Control and click the item to send a single one to the other inventory. This works in both directions, so you can pull one item out of a chest or push one in.
How do I move all stacks of the same item at once?
Hold Shift and Control together and click the item. Every stack of that same item type in the inventory gets transferred in one action.
How do I quick move items without clicking each one?
Hold Shift and click an item to quick-move it, the same way vanilla shift-clicking works but extended to the mod's transfer behavior. You can repeat this across a full inventory quickly instead of dragging each stack.
How do I sort my chest or inventory with one click?
Use the sort button the mod adds to the inventory or chest interface to organize everything in one click. The button appears alongside the container's GUI, so you don't need a keybind.
Why isn't control click moving a single item for me?
Make sure you're clicking the item itself and not the empty slot space, and check that no other inventory mod has claimed the same Control-click shortcut. If another mod overrides it, disable that mod's conflicting keybind or feature.
Does inventory essentials work with Quark and Inventory Sorter?
Yes, the mod is designed to be compatible with other inventory mods like Quark and Inventory Sorter. If you notice overlapping shortcuts, adjust the conflicting mod's settings so only one handles each click action.
Can I use inventory essentials on a server or is it client only?
It can be installed as a client-only mod, so you can use it on servers without the server needing it. Some features may depend on how the server handles inventory actions, but the core shortcuts work client-side.
Does inventory essentials cause lag or performance issues?
The mod is lightweight and only acts when you use its click shortcuts or sort button, so it shouldn't cause noticeable lag. If you experience slowdowns, check for conflicts with other inventory mods rather than the mod itself.
What's the difference between shift click and control click in this mod?
Control-click moves a single item, while Shift-click quick-moves the stack you clicked. Shift-control-click is the combined shortcut that moves every stack of that same item type at once.
