Overview
FlowInventory helps you stay organized: press R to sort your inventory by smart categories, and use G / V to switch activity profiles (mining, combat, building, farming, exploration, etc.). The mod picks sensible main-hand items for each profile and works on dedicated servers when installed on both server and client.
Requirements
- Minecraft 1.20.1
- Fabric Loader (0.15+)
- Fabric API
- Java 21
Important: For multiplayer, put FlowInventory in the server mods folder and client mods.
Optional: Mod Menu for in-game settings.
Features
- Smart sort — Categories (tools, armor, food, blocks, redstone…), then name; optional stack merge; modes: Smart / Alphabetical / Tier.
- Activity profiles — Auto-detect with optional HUD, or manual G / V cycling with rules so empty profiles are skipped.
- Hotbar layout — Server applies presets per activity; main hand prefers the right tool (e.g. compass before sword for exploration).
- Configurable — JSON + Mod Menu (Cloth Config is bundled inside this JAR).
Controls (default)
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| R | Sort inventory |
| G | Next profile |
| V | Previous profile |
| B | Toggle auto-detect |
All keys are rebindable.
