Features:

Search

• Use the Search bar to find items
• Enabled by default - disable via Mod Options

Lock

• Use the Padlock icon to Lock/Unlock Player or Loot Inventory Windows
• Also prevents moving or resizing locked inventory windows
• Enabled by default - disable via Mod Options

Swap

• Independently switch Player or Loot Container Button Panels to the left or right via Mod Options

Re-order

• Drag and drop container icons for the player and loot windows into the layout you prefer (when the lock is off).
• Once set, containers will remember their position even if you unequip and later re-equip them.
• For finer control, containers can be assigned a number for sorting priority.
• Select a container and click the priority icon next to the lock icon.
• By default, dragging and dropping automatically manages the sorting priorities.

Categorize

• Advanced Display Categories for items (enabled by default - disable via Mod Options)
• Left-click the filter button to filter by Display Category; right-click to access the original weight-sorting menu
• Category Blacklist option prevents Better Containers from recategorizing configured script DisplayCategory names

Pin

• Pinned Item Types, previously Category Favourites, are brought to the top of supported inventory lists
• Pinned Item Types display a small marker icon
• Toggle Pinned Item Type visibility in the player inventory via Mod Options

Customize

• Alter container button Name, Icon and Colour (enabled by default - disable via Mod Options)
• Customize both world containers (crates etc.) and placed bags
• Customized bag icons are also visible when equipped
• Save, copy, paste, reset and re-use container presets

Proximity Inventory

• Choose Proximity Inventory, Corpse Only Inventory, or Dual mode to show both
• Optionally hide Corpse Only Inventory when no corpses are in range
• Sandbox Options can override default behaviour and player permissions
• Proximity Inventory (can be locked) Displays the contents of all inventories within range
• Corpse Only Inventory (can be locked) Displays the contents of all corpse inventories within range
• Easily switch Proximity on/off, Corpse/Proximity and lock/unlocked with key bindings in Mod Options
• Corpse Only mode (when locked) will only be locked to view if corpses are in range.
• Auto-lock mode to override/simplify lock and unlock - browse containers at will - snaps back to proximity when no other containers exist or every 10 ingame minutes unless a container was recently (10sec) selected.
• Smart Deposit - drop items onto the Proximity Inventory to send them into nearby matching containers where possible
• Smart Deposit prefers containers with the same item type, then matching Display Categories, while respecting capacity, favourites, locked containers and access rules
• Optionally include nested container contents in Proximity Inventory - requires Loot Nested Containers to be enabled

Nested Containers

• View and browse containers stored inside other containers directly from the inventory
• Nested containers can be opened without unpacking or moving them first
• Separate Mod Options for player and loot nested containers, both disabled by default
• Configurable nested container depth, parent icons and player inventory filtering
• Works alongside Re-order, Categorize and Customize where supported
• Multiplayer has additional loot-side restrictions - see Multiplayer Support below

Multiplayer Support (Build 42.21)

• Better Containers supports multiplayer, but nested container browsing is more limited than in singleplayer
• Player Nested Containers supports bags inside your own inventory and carried bags, subject to your configured depth and player inventory filter
• In multiplayer, Loot Nested Containers deliberately hides bags inside world containers, on corpses, and bags on the ground because these nested loot inventories cannot be reliably resolved by the server for transfers
• The multiplayer loot-side exception is a bag directly inside an eligible vehicle compartment; deeper bags inside that bag are not supported
• Vehicle seats and containers with types containing Trunk, TruckBed or Trailer are excluded from nested loot browsing in both singleplayer and multiplayer
• To browse an unsupported loot bag, move it into your own inventory and enable Player Nested Containers
• Increasing nested depth or enabling Include Nested Containers for Proximity Inventory does not bypass these restrictions

Weight Column

• Optional Weight column for player and loot inventory windows - enable via Mod Options
• Click the weight icon to switch between ascending and descending weight sorting
• Drag the column divider to resize it
• Shows stack totals and individual item weights in expanded stacks

Loot Actions

• Drop items directly from loot containers using the Drop and Drop All hover buttons
• Move To Floor is also available in Proximity and Corpse Only inventories
• Move To Floor respects TwisTonFire's Blacklist when its mass-action filtering option is enabled, including corpse-only and damaged-clothing settings
