About Utility Belt
From ModrinthAdds a wearable secondary hotbar to help manage your tools and clear inventory clutter
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.
