Bigger Inventory

BigInventory

Extended Player Inventory with a Page System (Server + Client)

BigInventory is a modern inventory expansion system for Minecraft multi-page inventory that gives players a multi-page inventory — cleanly integrated, performant, and fully server-controlled.

The system consists of:

- 🧩 a Fabric client mod - 💻 an optional Fabric client mod (for keybind convenience)

Players get a large, page-based inventory without breaking vanilla mechanics or risking item loss.

❓ FAQ

Does this work without the client mod?

Yes. Players can use BigInventory via `/biginv` only. The client mod is just for convenience (keybind).

Is this cheat-safe?

Yes. Everything is server-side controlled. No item duplication. No desync. No client trust.
