Features
⚡ Automatic Swapping
- Auto Tool Swap: Automatically selects the best tool for the block you are mining.
- Supports Silk Touch/Fortune preferences (configurable per-ore).
- Respects enchantments (Efficiency, Unbreaking, etc.).
- Auto Weapon Swap: Automatically switches to your best weapon when attacking.
- Considers damage, enchantments (Sharpness, Smite, Bane of Arthropods, etc.).
- Configurable preferences for different target types.
🔄 Auto Refill
- Tool/Weapon Refill: Never stop fighting or mining - broken tools are automatically replaced.
- Food Refill: Eat continuously without opening inventory.
- Smart Matching: Finds the next best item in your inventory automatically.
🎒 Inventory Management
- Inventory Sorting: Sort your inventory or containers instantly with R or Middle Click.
- Advanced Sorting Engine: A robust, prioritized algorithm that clears mega-stacks and avoids infinite loops.
- Smart Categorization: Groups items logically (Tools, Weapons, Resources, Food) before applying secondary sorting (Material, Alphabetical).
- Anti-Glitch Logic: Gracefully handles unswappable items and network latency to prevent the "sorting dance" (ping-ponging items).
- Multiple algorithms: Smart Category, Alphabetical, Creative Order, Rarity, Type, Material, Color, Tag.
- Customizable via JSON lists.
- Fast Loot / Deposit:
- Refined QuickLoot: Improved stability when interacting with large containers or during rapid scrolling.
- Shift + Scroll: Move matching items between inventories.
- Ctrl + Scroll: Move ALL items between inventories.
- Note: This only works when looking at a Container (Chest, Barrel, etc.) to preserve vanilla crouching!
- Slot Locking: Lock inventory slots to prevent accidental sorting or quick-looting.
- Continuous Crafting: Hold your click to craft, trade, or move items repeatedly. No more clicking spam!

Piggy Inventory server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Piggy Inventory officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.21.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Piggy Inventory – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Piggy Inventory consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
