Infinite Inventory

简体中文

Never run out of inventory space again.

Infinite Inventory is a NeoForge mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 that transforms the cramped player backpack into a personal, infinitely-expandable, database-style storage system. Instead of juggling chests, shulker boxes, and scattered storage rooms, you carry your entire item collection in a single searchable terminal — organized by tabs, filterable by bilingual search, and backed by automatic safety systems.

Why Download This Mod?

If you have ever:

• Run out of hotbar and inventory slots while mining or building
• Spent more time sorting chests than actually playing
• Lost track of which chest contains which item
• Wanted to find an item instantly without memorizing storage layouts

Then Infinite Inventory replaces all of that overhead with one full-screen database interface. Search by name, pinyin, item ID, tag, or mod — and extract exactly what you need in seconds.

Core Features

• Infinite Personal Storage — One database, zero slot limits. Store as many unique item stacks as you want.
• Full-Screen Database UI — Multi-panel views: personal storage, public storage (server-wide shared pool), or mixed mode.
• Bilingual Smart Search — Understands Chinese display names, English aliases, item IDs, namespaces, and pinyin (full spelling + initials).
• JEI-Style Advanced Search Syntax — Filter by mod (@), item tag (#), registry name (&), creative tab (%), with AND/OR/NOT logic.
• Tab Organization — Create, rename, reorder, and assign custom icons to tabs. Move entire tab contents in one action.
• Stable Sorting — Sort by recent changes, recently added, name, count, namespace, or item ID.
• Star & Note System — Mark frequently-used items as starred, or attach custom notes to any item.
• Operation Log Viewer — Review history of deposits, extractions, and other database actions.
• Auto-Store Enhancement — Automatically send picked-up items into a designated target tab.
• Data Safety — Rolling auto-backups every 15 minutes, manual backup/restore commands, and unresolved-item preservation when mods are temporarily missing.
• Optional Accessories / Curios Integration — Wear the database terminal as a back-slot accessory for quick access via a configurable hotkey.

Environment

Installation

1. Install Minecraft 1.21.1.
2. Install a compatible NeoForge build in the 21.1.x range.
3. Place the Infinite Inventory JAR into your mods/ folder.
4. (Optional) Install Accessories or Curios if you want wearable terminal access from the back slot.

Note: The mod must be present on both client and server for multiplayer. The server handles data persistence and public storage; the client renders the UI and handles search input.

How to Use

Opening the Database

• Handheld: Right-click with the Database Terminal to open the full-screen interface.
• Equipped (Accessories / Curios): Bind a hotkey in Controls → Key Binds → "Infinite Inventory" → "Open Equipped Database" to open the UI instantly when the terminal is worn in the back slot.

Switching Views

Use the top toolbar to toggle between:

• Personal — your own private item database
• Public — server-wide shared storage (if enabled)
• Mixed — combined view of both

Depositing Items

• Left-click an item in your inventory to deposit 1
• Shift+click to deposit a full stack into a target tab
• Store All button — deposits your entire player inventory into the database
• Store Existing button — deposits only items that already have a matching entry in the database (useful for bulk restocking)

Deposit Conflict: If an item already exists in a different tab, a popup will let you choose whether to deposit to the original tab or move everything to the target tab.

Extracting Items

• Left-click a database entry to extract 1
• Shift+click to extract a full stack directly to your inventory
• Right-click for contextual options:
  • Pick up a full stack to your cursor
  • Pick up half a stack to your inventory
  • Extract a custom amount (opens a number input overlay)

Searching

Type in the search bar to filter items. The search understands:

• Chinese item names and pinyin (full spelling + initials)
• English display names and aliases
• Exact item IDs and namespaces

Special search syntax:

Spaces between terms act as AND.

Managing Tabs

• Create new tabs via the tab bar to categorize items
• Drag tabs to reorder them
• Right-click a tab to rename, change its icon, transfer its contents to another tab, or delete it
• Hide less-used tabs to keep the interface clean
• Batch transfer: Multi-select entries (click and drag or Shift+click), then right-click → "Move Selected to Another Category"

Stars & Notes

• Star frequently-used items for quick access
• Right-click → "Edit Note" to attach a custom note to any item
• Notes can be applied to a single item or to all selected items at once

Database Settings (Gear Icon)

The settings panel provides 5 navigation tabs:

• Adv. Search — Configure search behavior and default filters
• Boost — Toggle optional enhancements:
  • Auto-store picked-up items — automatically deposit newly picked-up items into a designated target tab
  • Show amount in tooltip — display the total stored count of an item in its tooltip
  • Force save on critical mutation — immediately persist the database after important changes
  • Views — Preview and switch between personal, public, and mixed views
  • Manage — Create, delete, rename, reorder, and reorganize tabs in bulk
  • Log — Review a chronological history of all deposits, extractions, transfers, and other database actions

Data Safety

Your data is stored in the overworld's SavedData system, not on the terminal item itself. This means:

• Terminal is replaceable — losing or breaking the terminal does not delete your database.
• Unresolved items preserved — if a mod is temporarily removed, its items are kept as unresolved entries and restored when the mod returns.
• Auto-backups — the database is backed up automatically every 15 minutes.
• Manual backup/restore — server operators can create snapshots and restore from them at any time.

Backup Commands
