Inventory Tweaks Mod — Guide
Features
The core functionality of Inventory Tweaks revolves around automating common inventory tasks:
- Automatic Sorting: Players can sort their inventory and chests with a single click or keystroke. The mod can sort items alphabetically, by type, or arrange them into columns or rows.
- Tool Replacement: When a tool breaks during use, Inventory Tweaks automatically searches the player's inventory for a replacement of the same type, prioritizing tools made from the same material.
- Item Replenishment: As an item stack in the hotbar is depleted (through placing, using, or tossing), the mod automatically replenishes it with a new stack of the same item from the player's inventory.
- Powerful Shortcuts: The mod provides various shortcuts to facilitate quick movement and organization of items within inventories.
- Customization: Inventory Tweaks offers extensive customization options, allowing players to define their own sorting rules and preferences through configuration files and an in-game options interface.
Mechanics and Controls
Inventory Tweaks integrates seamlessly into the game's existing interface with intuitive controls:
- Sorting Trigger: The primary method for sorting the player's inventory is by pressing the 'R' key (default) or by clicking the middle mouse button while any inventory is open and the cursor is not hovering over an item.
- Chest Sorting Buttons: Most chest interfaces will display small buttons in the top right corner, providing quick access to sorting and stacking functions.
- Advanced Sorting: For chests, players can choose between alphabetical sorting, sorting by object type, or arranging items into columns or rows. An ellipses button in the interface allows access to advanced sorting rule configurations.
- Crafting Input Balancing: When the middle click shortcut is used while targeting a crafting input slot, it intelligently adjusts item amounts to balance them, optimizing the input for recipes (e.g., evenly splitting wood for crafting sticks).
- Tool and Item Logic: The mod's automatic tool replacement prioritizes matching crafting materials. For item replenishment, it identifies items by their ID to ensure the correct stack is moved to the hotbar.
