Inventory Physics

Inventory Physics

Your inventory is no longer a neat grid. The 27 main slots become a bag where items lie on top of each other, fall, bounce and roll around.

Playing with items

• Grab an item with the left mouse button and move it around. Let go while the mouse is moving and the item flies across the bag.
• Spin the item you are holding with the mouse wheel, the arrow keys or A and D.
• Let go of an item outside the inventory window to throw one of it into the world. Hold Shift or Ctrl to throw the whole stack.
• Press Q over an item to drop one, or Ctrl+Q to drop the whole stack.
• Right-click an item in the bag to split the stack in half.
• Drop an item on the hotbar, armor or crafting slots to put it there. Hold Shift to put just one.
• Holding a stack on the cursor? Click inside the bag and it lands where you clicked.

Items act like real things

• An anvil is heavy and barely bounces, a feather drifts down slowly, slime balls bounce, ice slides.
• Jump or fall and everything in the bag flies up. Land and the bag shakes.
• Two identical items that bump into each other merge into one stack.
• An item under the cursor grows a little and leans toward it.
• Sparks, dust and trails fly when items hit something, and the knock sound depends on how heavy the item is.

New: keep some slots as normal slots

Click the small grid button at the top right of the bag. Click or drag over cells to mark them green. Green cells stay normal slots: the item in them stays in place and the rest of the bag piles up around it. Click the button again when you are done. Your choice is saved.

Settings

You can change gravity, bounciness, friction, the hover effect, auto-stacking, particles and sounds, or turn the physics bag off. On Forge and NeoForge open the Mods list and press Config. On Fabric use Mod Menu.

Good to know

• Only you need the mod. Servers don't, and it works on any server, vanilla included.
• The hotbar, armor, offhand and crafting grid work as usual. The creative inventory is not changed.
• Chests, furnaces and other containers keep the normal grid.
• Fabric API is not required.
