How to Open the Accessory Menu and Equip Gear

Once you have mods that add wearable gear, Curios API gives you a dedicated menu to equip those items without using up your standard armor slots.

Finding the Menu Button

1. Press your standard inventory key (E by default in vanilla Minecraft) to open your survival inventory.

2. Look directly next to your character preview box near your armor slots.

3. Click the special menu button located next to your character.

4. A secondary panel will open right alongside your normal inventory screen, displaying all available accessory slots.

Equipping and Removing Accessories

Each slot in the extra panel corresponds to a specific body placement—such as rings, amulets, charms, belts, or back items like backpacks.

1. Pick up a compatible accessory from your main inventory or hotbar.

2. Move it over to the matching slot inside the side panel and drop it in, or shift-click the item from your inventory to send it into an open compatible slot.

3. Verify that the item sits inside the slot; its passive effects or storage features from the mod that added it will now be active.

4. Click the menu button next to your character again whenever you want to hide the accessory panel and return to a compact inventory view.
