Clothes Have Pockets

Clothes Have Pockets

Wear trousers or a coat, get extra inventory slots

How It Works

Wear a garment with pockets and a Pockets panel appears beside your inventory. Fill the slots like any other. How many you get depends on what you are wearing.

Take a garment off and its pockets empty out. The contents go into your inventory, or drop at your feet if there is no room. Nothing is ever left hidden inside a coat sitting in a chest.

Pockets are part of your inventory as far as the game is concerned. Food spoils and freezes in them at the normal rate, and other mods that work on your inventory can reach them.

Requirements

Vintage Story 1.22+. No dependencies.

This version does not need Player Inventory Lib. The mod was rebuilt from scratch to stand on its own after that library was put into draft, and it patches no game code, so nothing else has to be installed.

Servers must run the same version as clients.

Before removing the mod, empty your pockets. Pocket contents are stored on your character. Uninstalling leaves anything still in them unreachable.

Controls & Settings

The panel opens with your inventory. There is also a Show Pockets hotkey (O by default, rebindable in Controls) which works either way.

Settings live in ModConfig/ClothesHavePockets.json, and can also be changed in game through Integrated Mod Manager (type .imm in chat), ConfigKit (press P, or Mod settings in the pause menu) or ConfigLib. None of them are required, and only one should be installed at a time.

Every setting is yours. Nothing is decided by the server, and every change applies the moment you save - no relog.

• <span style="color: #b5893d; font-weight: bold; font-size: 1.2rem; position: absolute; left: 5px; top: -2px;">•</span> TryPlayerInventoryBeforeDropping - when a garment comes off, put its pocket contents into your inventory first and drop only what does not fit. On by default, so changing clothes over water does not cost you anything. Applies to your character alone.

On death, pockets follow your server's own rule - /worldconfig deathPunishment - exactly like the rest of your inventory: keep keeps them, drop drops them where you fell. There is no separate setting for it.
