Debloat

Minecraft’s item roster has expanded dramatically over time. Many mods try to keep up with more slots and storage items, but Debloat makes inventory-conscious tweaks to loot tables, recipes, and worldgen to keep your inventory free of junk in the first place!

What does this mod do?

Debloat’s philosophy is that players should opt-in to the items they want to pick up — so it makes many foliage and variant blocks, like those associated with Lush Caves or Nether forests, require a correct tool to drop so they won’t clutter the inventories of players who don’t want them.

Secondly, it cleans up underground worldgen by, for example, reducing the generation of some stone variants and limiting the depth Dirt and Gravel blobs can spawn at, while adjusting recipes to make sure these resources are still available abundantly if desired.

Finally, it merges items with the same functionality — for example, Steak and Pork Chops — so they don’t occupy separate slots in the inventory.

These changes have been made very carefully to avoid affecting vanilla balance while cutting down on the most annoying ‘bloat’ items and making Minecraft’s inventory system more elegant. I hope it can be a valuable addition to your personal suite of inventory solutions!

You Should Know

Because Debloat removes some vanilla ingredients, many modded recipes will become inaccessible until they are adjusted. I do hope to eventually add support for go-to mods like Supplementaries and Create, but until then, Debloat is intended primarily for ‘vanilla+’ contexts.

FAQ

You removed nuggets?!? Yes! They may have made sense at the time they were added, but given the amount of strain players’ inventory space is already under, yet another intermediary crafting component isn’t justified. Trust me — vanilla recipes and loot tables can be made almost exactly the same cost with just ingots! There is absolutely no dire need for a ‘nugget’ item.

You removed chicken/mutton/rabbit/pork? Yes! I cannot think of a single reason for Minecraft to distinguish every type of meat! Steak/Porkchops and Chicken/Rabbit are mechanically identical items. The only effect of merging these meat types is allowing them to stack in the inventory.

You removed Andesite/Diorite/Granite??? No!!! They are still in the game! They just don’t spawn naturally, but they can be crafted more cheaply than ever with either Quartz or Calcite, making them available pre-Nether. If you want them, they’re there. If not, they won’t bother you.

What Else Can I Do to Improve Minecraft’s Inventory?

Terrastorage is the best implementation of quick-stacking available. TrashSlot and InvMove are simple changes that drastically improve the experience of using the inventory screen — please check out all of them.
