Advanced Inventory Management

Advanced Inventory Management (AIM) is a mod designed to automate the inventory of a player. By connecting different devices to a static block network, you are able to manipulate and modify the players inventory as well as other stats like xp, hunger or potion effects. The mod offers a wide range of different devices and possibilities, reaching from ways to automate your food supply to techniques for auto-healing a player when he has taken damage. All aspects of the mod are highly configurable and a lot of cool things can be achieved by combining different devices. There is also an in-game guide which covers every part of the mod in detail, describing the different blocks and items as well as things like setting up a network or managing player accessibility

Getting started

To get started with AIM, you should at first craft yourself an Inventory Management Manual. This manual will guide you through the different aspects of the mod, providing information about how to setup and use the different machines.

Once you have crafted an Inventory Management Manual, you can easily look up information there. There is also a "Getting Started"-Page which should help you getting along with the mod.

Experience Relay (Liquids): Insert and extract XP as a fluid

and more...

Examples

By combining a hunger relay with a hopper and a chest full of food, you can supply the player with food when he is hungry, removing the need to eat constantly. (Especially useful during combat when food is needed to regenerate health)

By connecting a player monitor set to display health mode with a potion relay, you can send healing potions to the player whenever his health is not at maximum

By combining two hoppers and an Experience Relay, xp can constantly be pulled out as bottles o' enchanting, so that the player can't lose his experience when he dies.

Different devices can also be connected to much more complex network structures using network cables.
