Description

Inventory Overlay

Inventory Overlay is a simple utility mod designed to keep you informed of your resources without needing to open your inventory screen. It renders a clean, customizable grid of your main inventory slots directly on your game interface.

FEATURES
  • Live HUD Display: See your 27 main inventory slots (excluding the hotbar) at all times.
  • Toggleable Visibility: Easily show or hide the overlay with a single keypress.
  • Dynamic Positioning: Choose where the overlay sits on your screen using an anchor system.
  • Custom Transparency: Adjust the background opacity to suit your visual preference.
  • Shine Animation: A sleek, 45-degree white line slides across newly occupied slots to instantly notify you when an item enters an empty slot.
HOW TO USE
  • Default Toggle Key: Press I to toggle the visibility of the overlay.
  • Configuration: Access the mod settings via Mod Menu to change the position, offsets, and transparency.
CONFIGURATION

The mod is highly customizable via the inventoryoverlay.json config file or the in-game GUI:

  • Horizontal Anchor: Align the overlay to the Left, Center, or Right of your screen.
  • Vertical Anchor: Align the overlay to the Top, Center, or Bottom.
  • X & Y Offsets: Fine-tune the position with pixel-perfect adjustments (range: -500 to 500).
  • Container Alpha %: Control the background transparency (0% to 100%).
REQUIREMENTS
  • Fabric Loader
  • Fabric API
  • Cloth Config API
  • Mod Menu (recommended for easy in-game configuration)
CLIENT-SIDE ONLY

All functionality is done client-side and is compatible with vanilla servers.
