Features

Extra slots and inventory

• Extra slots (option, off by default, admin) – a grid 3 slots wide beside the inventory, built from the game's own inventory background and cells (same look, same cell size, each row level with an inventory row). The admin turns each group on or off; the slots that stay on fill the rows 3 by 3 and the panel shrinks to fit (up to 3 x 4 with everything on):
• Armor (helmet, chest, legs, cape) and Utility + Trinket: each slot accepts only its own item type. Dropping an item there equips it; right click equips or unequips.
• Wisplight and Wishbone: own slots for these two. While the item sits there its effect works (the light, or finding treasure and ore) together with the utility item, for example Megingjord. This changes game balance, so each one has its own switch.
• Ammo: arrows, bolts and other ammo kept out of the inventory grid; the bow or crossbow still uses them.
• Quick-use slots (3): hold any item; right click uses or equips it, and so does its key (default Z / X / C, personal, never synchronized). The mod reads the game's own key bindings (also changed ones): a key with no action in the game (Z) uses the slot at once. A key that also has a game action (X sits down, C switches walk / run) is told apart by how long it is held – by default a quick tap uses the slot and holding it (300 ms, adjustable) does the game's action (this can be swapped). The game's action of that key therefore comes a little later, and only while the slot holds an item: with the slot empty the key is the game's, with no delay. An optional modifier (for example Alt) brings back the classic modifier + key, used at once.
• Quick slots on the HUD (option, off by default): the quick slots that hold an item appear as small cells at the bottom left, under the food and the size of the food icons, with the key, the amount and the game's own durability bar (copies of the game's own hotbar cells). Empty slots are not shown.
• Extra inventory rows (admin, 0–3, default 0 = vanilla) – real rows of 8 slots added to every player's own inventory, on top of the game's rows (4, plus the 2 Haldor sells; the game shows at most 9, so only what fits is added). The game's own window, deposit (N), favourite slots, auto pickup, tombstone and saving all see a normal, taller inventory, and the game's own row count (what Haldor sold) is never changed. Independent of the extra slots. Lowering the value never drops anything: items move to free slots, and a row that still holds items stays until it is emptied.
• Ammo counter (option, off by default, admin) – a bow or crossbow on the hotbar shows in the top-right corner of its cell how many arrows or bolts of the kind it will shoot you carry (red at 0); the fishing rod shows its bait. Same text as the game's own amount. Works without the extra slots.
• Every slot shows its name in the top-left corner, all in the same size (a long name goes on two lines). Wisplight and Wishbone use the game's own item names in the player's language, in the grid and in the admin panel.
• Left click picks an item up, a second click drops it: into an empty slot, onto the same stack to merge, or onto another item to swap (the displaced item goes to the cell the dragged item came from).
• Death and tombstone – the items are saved with the character like any other item. If the character dies, they go to the tombstone and, when it is looted, every item returns to its own slot (equipment slots equip it again). A slot already taken sends the item to the normal inventory instead; nothing is lost or duplicated.
• Safe by design – slot items do not use grid cells (pickups, "inventory full" checks and the tombstone count correctly), are never moved by quick stack or sort, and are never dropped as invalid when the inventory size changes. Turning the option off returns every item to the inventory.
• Compatibility – the feature stays off (with a log line) when another inventory-slot mod is installed: Azu Extended Player Inventory, Extra Slots or Equipment and Quick Slots.

Comfort

• Food never fades (off by default) – food gives its full health, stamina and eitr until it runs out; the duration does not change.
• Sleep in any bed (off by default) – any player can sleep in a bed claimed by someone else. Only sleeping: the bed keeps its owner and the sleeper's spawn point does not change; every vanilla sleep rule and wards still apply.
