Vercte's Satchels

Vercte's Satchels adds one item: the Satchel. The Satchel is an item that unlocks six extra slots in your inventory, located below the hotbar. Once equipped, its contents can be swapped with the first six slots¹ of your hotbar using a keybind (default V).

This can be very useful! Use it to store extra building blocks, tools, clean up your main hotbar, or just use it as an inventory extension—because it is one. The Satchel also integrates itself seamlessly into vanilla container UIs, as well as working with Modded UIs.²

I made this mod because I always run out of hotbar space when doing tasks around my base, compared to running out of inventory space. It adds an extra layer of inventory management through deciding the layout of your satchel and hotbar, and when combined with bundles,³ it makes inventory management more fun to figure out compared to throwing everything in a backpack or shulker.

It's also dyeable, but I'll let you figure out how that looks for yourself :)
