one of the worst parts of #Minecraft to me has always been inventory management. I haven’t been able to figure out any kind of systematic way to do it. as soon as I have things nicely sorted out, I’ll pick up some new items and those will throw my inventory organization into chaos. and mods like Inventory Tweaks help a bit, but not nearly enough

but I just tried Inventory Profiles Next and omg I’m in love. it lets you lock slots so that they’re visually distinct from non-locked slots and aren’t affected by sorting - which I’m going to use to mark items that I want to keep with me. it also lets you tell Minecraft “whenever I pick up an item, try to put it in my inventory first and not my hotbar” which is going to help me a lot with not feeling overwhelmed by my own hotbar lol

it also seems to have a system for switching between different inventory profiles, where different items go in different slots depending on which profile you’re using - which solves another huge problem that I’ve had in the past, of how to quickly and consistently change my hotbar depending on my current task

anyway idk I’m so excited to use this thing. I feel like it’s singlehandedly going to solve my single biggest pain point in Minecraft and turn the hectic chaos of inventory management into something manageable and even fun

(also it’s completely clientside! I love that. so you can play on a vanilla Minecraft server with Inventory Profiles Next and it won’t cause any issues)

@kasdeya IPN is very nice
another almost mandatory mod for me is item scroller
