**Utility Belt** will solve your inventory clutter issues. 9 hotbar slots are not enough, especially when playing with mods. Wearing a Utility Belt gives you a second hotbar where only tools and weapons can be stored.
## 🛠️ Getting Started


1. **Craft** two belt pouches using the recipe above.
2. **Craft** a Utility Belt using the recipe above.
3. **Equip** it in your belt slot.
4. **Fill** it with your tools and weapons.
## ⬆️ Upgrading the Belt
By default, the belt has **4** slots and can be upgraded to have up to **6** slots (_these values can be changed in the mod configuration_). You can add a slot to a belt in a **Smithing Table** using the recipe below.
