InventoryFlow

InventoryFlow is a lightweight client-side inventory management mod for Minecraft. It adds fast item movement, mouse wheel transfers, drag controls, hotbar management, automatic tool replacement, and quick inventory sorting while keeping vanilla inventory behavior familiar.

No server-side installation is required.

Features

Inventory Sorting

Sort supported storage inventories with the C button.

Sort the player inventory with the I button.

Supported storage inventories include Chests, Barrels, Shulker Boxes, Hoppers, Dispensers, and Droppers.

Player inventory sorting affects the main inventory only.

The hotbar is kept separate and is never rearranged automatically.

Matching stacks are combined whenever possible before sorting.

Items are then arranged into a clean and consistent order.

Automatic Tool Replacement and Stack Restocking

InventoryFlow automatically replaces supported items in the selected hotbar slot.

Tools and other durability-based items: When the held item breaks or reaches the configured durability threshold, InventoryFlow searches the player inventory for a suitable replacement. It prefers the same item and material—for example, an iron pickaxe for another iron pickaxe. If none is available, it can choose a suitable item of the same type made from a different material.

Stackable items: When a stack such as logs or cobblestone runs out, InventoryFlow refills the selected hotbar slot from another stack of the same item with the same item data. If several matching stacks are available, it chooses the largest one.

Stack restocking is enabled by default and can be changed with the stackRestock setting.

Click Controls

Ctrl + Left Click moves 1 item from the selected stack to the opposite inventory area.

Ctrl + Shift + Left Click moves all matching stacks of the selected item to the opposite inventory area.

Alt + Left Click on an item in a supported storage inventory moves the selected stack directly to the hotbar.

Alt + Left Click on an item in the main player inventory moves the selected stack directly to the hotbar.

Alt + Left Click on a hotbar item moves the selected stack from the hotbar to the main player inventory.

When a supported storage inventory is open, Shift + Left Click on a hotbar item transfers it directly to the storage inventory.

Normal Left Click, Right Click, and other vanilla inventory interactions keep their normal behavior unless another InventoryFlow feature is active.

Drag Controls

Left Drag with an empty cursor picks up items from hovered slots one slot at a time.

Left Drag while carrying an item merges the carried item into compatible hovered stacks one slot at a time.

Shift + Left Drag quickly transfers hovered stacks to the opposite inventory area.

Shift + Right Drag distributes carried items one by one across hovered slots.

Ctrl + Left Drag moves 1 item from each hovered stack to the opposite inventory area.

Ctrl + Right Drag moves 1 item from each hovered stack to the opposite inventory area.

Right Drag without Shift keeps the normal vanilla behavior.

Mouse Wheel Controls

Mouse Wheel transfers items between supported storage inventories and the player inventory.

By default, each scroll step transfers 1 item.

Shift + Mouse Wheel transfers a full stack.

Ctrl + Mouse Wheel transfers all matching stacks of the hovered item.

Scroll direction can be reversed through the client configuration file.

Configuration

InventoryFlow automatically creates the following client configuration file after the game is launched:

config/inventoryflow-client.toml

To reverse the mouse wheel transfer direction, change:

invertScrollDirection = false

to:

invertScrollDirection = true

The automatic replacement system also uses its configured durability threshold to determine when the currently held item should be replaced.

Why InventoryFlow?

InventoryFlow reduces repetitive inventory actions and makes moving items between inventories faster.

It provides direct hotbar transfers with Alt + Left Click and makes it easy to move items between supported storage inventories, the main inventory, and the hotbar.

Automatic tool replacement helps keep gameplay uninterrupted by replacing broken or low-durability items from the player's inventory.

The replacement system prioritizes the same item and material whenever possible. If an identical replacement is not available, another item of the same type made from a different material can be selected.

InventoryFlow also provides quick and simple inventory sorting while keeping common vanilla inventory controls familiar.

Bulk transfer actions require deliberate key combinations to help prevent accidental moves.

The hotbar is never automatically sorted, so your active tools, blocks, and frequently used items stay exactly where you placed them.

InventoryFlow runs entirely on the client side.

No server-side installation is required.
