Now with Resource Pack Compatibility! (See below)
Inventory Overlay is a simple utility mod designed to keep you informed of your resources without needing to open your inventory screen. It renders a clean, customizable grid of your main inventory slots directly on your game interface.
FEATURES
| Live HUD Display | See your 27 main inventory slots (excluding the hotbar) at all times |
| Toggleable Visibility | Easily show or hide the overlay with a single keypress |
| Dynamic Positioning | Choose where the overlay sits on your screen using an anchor system |
| Custom Transparency | Adjust the background opacity to suit your visual preference |
| Shine Animation | A sleek, 45-degree white line slides across newly occupied slots to instantly notify you when an item enters an empty slot |
| Resource Pack Compatible | Custom resource packs that retexture the hotbar are automatically reflected |
HOW TO USE
Simply press 
to toggle the visibility of the overlay.
CONFIGURATION
If you have Mod Menu installed, you can customize your experience:
| Horizontal Anchor | Align the overlay to the Left, Center, or Right of your screen |
| Vertical Anchor | Align the overlay to the Top, Center, or Bottom |
| X & Y Offsets (px) | Fine-tune the position with pixel-perfect adjustments |
| Container Alpha (%) | Control the background transparency |
