About this Mod

This mod makes the inventory's layout look and feel like Minecraft 1.8.

Moves the effects to the left, inventory to the right side if you have any status effects, both in creative inventory and survival inventory (Not affacted in 1.17.1 version, as this was changed in 1.18.)
Restores the Materials tab and hides the Saved Hotbars tab (the hotbar load/save keybinds will continue to work), moves the Misc tab to the top (this is NOT supported in the 1.20.1 version. I had to use a separate mod called Old Inventorism but slightly modified code to get it like in the screenshot)
Moves the bodyview and armor section to the left side rather than in the center in the Survival Inventory tab.

Known issues:

the recipe book button's position is wrong if there are status effects.

This mod can be easily ported to Forge since it doesn't depend on Fabric API, only mixins are used.
