How to install Inventory Profiles Next

Inventory Profiles Next supports Forge, Fabric, and NeoForge; pick one loader (you cannot mix them) and install it for your chosen Minecraft version. It is built for Minecraft 1.20.1, 1.20.4, and 1.21.1, so make sure your profile uses one of those versions.

  1. 1Choose and install one mod loader from Forge, Fabric, and NeoForge for a Minecraft version this mod supports (1.20.1, 1.20.4, and 1.21.1).
  2. 2Download the required dependency for the same version and loader: Cloth Config. Inventory Profiles Next will not load without it.
  3. 3Drop the Inventory Profiles Next .jar file into your instance's mods folder. On a server, place it in the server's mods folder instead, and each player who wants it adds it to their own client.
  4. 4Launch the game with that loader profile and confirm Inventory Profiles Next appears in the in-game mods list; if it does not load, re-check the loader, the Minecraft version, and the dependencies above.

Supported Minecraft versions: 1.20.1, 1.20.4, and 1.21.1. Always download the build that matches your version exactly, as mod files are version-specific.

Compatibility & alternatives

Inventory Profiles Next works particularly well alongside Mouse Tweaks. It depends on Cloth Config, so those must be present and on the same loader and version. Because it ships for both Fabric and Forge-family loaders, it slots into most popular modpacks regardless of which side they are built on.

Inventory Profiles Next has a modest footprint for what it adds and is widely used in modpacks without notable performance concerns.

If you are comparing options, similar mods include Inventory Sorter and Mouse Tweaks. They cover comparable ground, so the right choice usually comes down to your loader, version, and the rest of your pack.
