MT Inventory Weight
MT Inventory Weight adds a configurable weight system to Minecraft. Your inventory is no longer just limited by slots — every item has weight, and carrying too much can slow you down, weaken combat, and apply the Overload effect.
The mod is made for survival, RPG, and modpack gameplay where choosing what to carry actually matters.

Features
-
Automatic item weights
Most vanilla and modded items receive calculated weights automatically. -
Datapack custom weights
Item weights and armor pocket values are now data-driven through datapacks. -
fzzy_config support
Configure server and client settings in-game. Server settings can update live. -
Mod Menu support
Optional easy access to config screens through Mod Menu. -
Armor pockets
Armor can increase max carry weight through pockets. -
Overload effect
Carrying too much weight applies penalties. Strength and Haste can reduce overload severity. -
HUD display
Choose between the classic sprite HUD or a simple bar HUD. -
Item tooltips
Tooltips show item weight, stack weight, armor pockets, and container contents weight. -
Backpack and shulker support
Supported containers count stored items with reduced effective weight. -
Trinkets compatibility
Equipped Trinkets items can count toward carried weight when Trinkets is installed. -
Multiplayer support
Works in singleplayer, LAN, and dedicated servers with synced server values. -
Add-on API
Developers can add compatibility through the publiccom.megatrex4.api.v1API.

> **IMPORTANT**
> **Regarding Sinytra Connector & Forge Support:** > This mod is natively developed for Fabric. Due to ongoing technical issues and limitations with Sinytra Connector, we are no longer maintaining compatibility fixes for it.
>
> However, we are completely open to community collaboration! If anyone is interested in creating and maintaining a proper, dedicated Forge/NeoForge version, you are more than welcome to open a separate branch in our repository or submit a PR. We would be happy to host and publish your official ports directly on our Modrinth and CurseForge pages, crediting you as a co-author/maintainer.
>
> In the meantime, you can still try running the Fabric jar via Sinytra manually, but do so at your own risk.
> **WARNING**
> Multiplayer has not been fully tested yet. However, singleplayer (SSP) should work perfectly fine for now!
