Inventory Manager+ is a lightweight but powerful inventory-management mod designed to make moving, organizing, protecting, and restocking items dramatically faster without turning Minecraft inventory management into a complicated automation system.
Instead of replacing the vanilla inventory experience, Inventory Manager+ builds on top of it with practical tools for everyday gameplay.
Quickly sweep items into a chest by dragging across them, deposit only the items that already belong in a container, protect important inventory slots, inspect shulker boxes without constantly placing them down, or create complete reusable inventory layouts with Inventory Profiles.
Whether you're unloading after a mining trip, restocking before an expedition, managing storage, organizing shulkers, or maintaining a carefully arranged hotbar, Inventory Manager+ is designed to reduce repetitive inventory work while keeping you in control.
Inventory Manager+ includes:
Inventory Manager+ makes moving groups of items between inventories much faster.
Hold:
Shift + Left Mouse Button
and drag across inventory slots to rapidly transfer items.
When a container is open:
This makes unloading or collecting groups of items much faster than individually Shift-clicking every stack.
The feature still uses normal Minecraft inventory transfers—it does not duplicate or generate items.
The Deposit Matching button is designed for quickly unloading items into organized storage.
Instead of dumping your entire inventory into a chest, Deposit Matching checks what items are already stored inside the open container.
Only matching items from your inventory are deposited.
For example, if a chest contains:
and your inventory also contains:
using Deposit Matching transfers the Cobblestone and Coal while leaving unrelated items alone.
This makes the feature especially useful for:
Deposit Matching can also work with supported items stored inside shulker boxes carried in your inventory.
This allows matching materials inside your carried shulkers to be deposited into the open container without requiring you to repeatedly:
The system still respects protected/locked content where applicable.
Important items shouldn't disappear into a chest just because you used a bulk inventory action.
Inventory Manager+ includes a slot-locking system that lets you protect individual inventory slots.
Activate lock mode and select the slots you want protected.
Locked slots are visually marked and respected by inventory-management actions such as Deposit Matching.
This is useful for protecting:
Instead of permanently treating an entire hotbar as untouchable, you decide exactly which slots matter.
Inventory Manager+ includes shulker-box inventory previews so you can inspect stored contents without constantly placing and opening the box.
Previews display the items stored inside the shulker in an inventory-style layout.
This makes it much easier to identify:
Colored shulker boxes are visually themed appropriately to make different boxes easier to distinguish.
Supported preview behavior also includes pinned/interactive functionality where implemented, making shulkers more useful directly from inventory management screens.
One of the largest features in Inventory Manager+ is Inventory Profiles.
Profiles let you design reusable inventory and hotbar layouts.
Instead of repeatedly reorganizing your equipment manually, create a profile describing exactly what you want to carry and where you want it.
For example:
Hotbar Slot 1:
Diamond Pickaxe
Hotbar Slot 2:
Diamond Sword
Hotbar Slot 3:
Bow
Hotbar Slot 4:
Torches ×64
Hotbar Slot 5:
Golden Apples ×16
Inventory Slot:
Fire Resistance Potions ×3Save the profile and reuse it whenever you need that loadout again.
The Inventory Profile editor provides a visual representation of your inventory and hotbar.
Select a slot and configure:
Profiles can then be named, saved, edited, duplicated, deleted, and selected as your active profile.
This makes it possible to create different loadouts such as:
Inventory Profiles include a Creative-style searchable item picker.
Instead of requiring you to already possess an item while designing a profile, search Minecraft's available item catalog and select what you want.
Search supports actual item-stack variants where possible—not merely basic registry item IDs.
That allows profiles to distinguish items such as:
This is especially important because many Minecraft items share the same base item but contain different meaningful stack data.
When applying a profile from the normal player inventory, Inventory Manager+ rearranges the items you already possess to match the saved layout as closely as possible.
It does not create missing items.
If you have:
Diamond Pickaxe
Diamond Sword
Torches
Food
Bowscattered throughout your inventory, applying the profile moves the available matching items into their configured positions.
If something is missing, the available parts of the profile are still applied.
Inventory Profiles become even more useful while a chest or other supported container is open.
Applying a profile can pull the items you need directly from the container into the configured inventory slots.
The system checks:
It then pulls only what is needed.
For example:
Profile target:
Torches ×64
Already carrying:
Torches ×20
Container:
Torches ×64Inventory Manager+ needs only 44 more, so it pulls the required amount rather than another full stack.
If the chest only contains 25:
20 already owned
+25 available
=45 totalthe profile is filled as closely as possible.
Inventory Manager+ does not intentionally exceed the saved target quantity.
Inventory Profiles are organizational tools, not Creative Mode.
Applying a profile:
It simply rearranges and transfers real items already available to the player.
Inventory Manager+ includes visual feedback for inventory actions so transfers do not feel completely static.
Depending on the action and current implementation, matching and transferred slots may use subtle highlights, movement effects, or transfer/pop feedback.
The goal is to make inventory actions easy to follow without filling the screen with excessive visual effects.
Inventory Manager+ is intended to improve inventory interaction without replacing Minecraft's storage gameplay.
It does not:
It simply gives the player better tools for managing the inventories and containers they are already using.
Inventory Manager+ is designed to work in multiplayer environments where the required mod components are installed appropriately.
Inventory transfers that affect container or player inventories are handled through normal server-authoritative behavior rather than trusting the client to invent item changes.
For the safest and most consistent experience, install the matching version on both the server and participating clients where required by the release.
Inventory Manager+ is currently built specifically for:
Each Minecraft version uses its own separately built JAR.
Install the file made for your exact Minecraft version.
The only required dependency is:
There are currently:
Inventory Manager+ does not support Forge or NeoForge.
