Setting Up Your Slots

Equip your primary combat tool (sword, bow, or crossbow) in your back slot using G. Place a utility tool (pickaxe, axe, or shovel) in your belt slot using Shift + G.

Swapping During Gameplay

When you encounter enemies, your combat tool is already visible and ready on your back. When you need to gather resources, quickly access your belt tool without opening your full inventory.

Optimal Loadouts

  • Combat focus: Sword on back, shield on belt
  • Mining focus: Pickaxe on back, axe on belt
  • Fishing focus: Fishing rod on back, sword on belt for emergencies
  • Utility focus: Shears on belt, tool on back

Benefits

This setup reduces the time spent managing your inventory during transitions between activities. Your equipped items are always visible on your character, making it clear what you're prepared for at a glance.
