Compat:

🛠️ Compatibility
✅ Curios API - protect your rings, amulets, and baubles
✅ EMI/JEI/REI - recipe viewers work perfectly
✅ All container mods - works with modded inventories
✅ AE / Refined Storage Work, No Favorites are allowed in the systems though.
⚠️ NOT compatible with TIA (Tiny Item Animations) - use our EPA system instead!
I do have some old features in the code at the moment i will remove them at a later date, please note they can be disabled in the main mod menu -> admin menu -> features -> disabled by default.


⚠️Requirements:

NeoForge (Minecraft 1.21.x)
Built it on NeoForge 21.1.193+, Have been Tested on Latest Verison with no issues.
No other dependencies!
Incompatiblities:
TIA (Tiny Item Animations) -> Added Built in CustomAlternative inside config setting menu

Sophistocated Backpacks have a tooltip, they use a custom way of doing menus for their backpacks, so favoriting items don't work in backpacks or if you have a backpack open.

Otherwise no other mod conflicts


🎬 Quick Start

Install the mod
Press V (default key) while hovering over an item to lock it
Press LeftAlt to open the settings menu
Customize sounds, icons, effects, and more!
