How the Automatic Bag Container Swap Works

This feature works with bag items like [NoCube's] Simple Bags that contain inventory containers.

When you're holding a bag item in slot 9:

1. Hold a bag item (e.g., [NoCube's] Simple Bags) in hotbar slot 9
2. Press G key to drop it (hotbar drop action)
3. Instead of dropping the bag, the system automatically swaps only the first row of the bag's contents with your hotbar slots 1-8
4. The bag slot itself remains unchanged

This feature allows you to quickly access items stored in your bag without manually swapping rows.

Dropping a Bag Item

There are two ways to drop a bag item:

1. Using Inventory Screen: Open your inventory screen, and drop the bag from slot 9 normally

   • This will drop the bag item without triggering the automatic swap
   • You can freely drop or move the bag when the inventory screen is open

2. Using Hotbar (G key): Press G key with the bag in slot 9

   • This triggers the automatic swap instead of dropping
   • If you want to drop instead, move the bag to a different hotbar slot first

The automatic swap only triggers when:

• The bag is in hotbar slot 9
• You press G key to drop (not through the inventory screen)
