Installing MT Inventory Weight ​

This guide explains how to install MT Inventory Weight for Fabric.

For third-party launchers such as Prism Launcher, Modrinth App, CurseForge App, MultiMC, or ATLauncher, the general steps are the same, but the interface may be different.

WARNING

Only download mods from trusted sources such as Modrinth, CurseForge, or the official GitHub repository.

Requirements ​

MT Inventory Weight requires Fabric.

For the current refactored version, use the Minecraft version listed on the download page. The version discussed in this documentation targets:

text
Minecraft
Fabric Loader

Required Dependencies ​

Install the dependencies listed on the MT Inventory Weight download page.

Common required dependencies include:

TIP

If you install through the Modrinth App or CurseForge App, dependencies may be downloaded automatically. If you install manually, check the dependency list on the download page.

Optional Dependencies ​

These are not required, but add extra functionality:

  • Mod Menu — easier access to the config screen
  • Trinkets — equipped trinkets count toward inventory weight

Cloth Config is not required by MT Inventory Weight anymore.

Easy Installation with Modrinth App or CurseForge App ​

The easiest way to install MT Inventory Weight is with a launcher that can automatically manage modpacks and dependencies.

You can use:

Modrinth App ​

  1. Open the Modrinth App.
  2. Create or open a Fabric instance for the Minecraft version you want to play.
  3. Go to Add Content.
  4. Search for Inventory Weight or MT Inventory Weight.
  5. Install the mod.
  6. Install required dependencies if the app does not add them automatically.
  7. Launch the instance.

CurseForge App ​

  1. Open the CurseForge App.
  2. Create or open a Fabric profile for the Minecraft version you want to play.
  3. Click Add More Content.
  4. Search for MT Inventory Weight.
  5. Install the mod.
  6. Install required dependencies if the app does not add them automatically.
  7. Launch the profile.

TIP

Modrinth App and CurseForge App usually handle Fabric API and other dependencies automatically, but you should still check the dependency list on the mod page.

Manual Installation ​

If you do not use Modrinth App, CurseForge App, or another launcher with dependency management, follow the manual installation steps below.

1. Install Fabric Loader ​

Download and install Fabric Loader from:

Choose the Minecraft version supported by the MT Inventory Weight build you downloaded.

After installation, the Minecraft Launcher should have a Fabric profile.

2. Download MT Inventory Weight ​

Download the mod from one of the official sources:

Make sure the file matches:

  • your Minecraft version
  • Fabric mod loader
  • Java Edition

3. Download Dependencies ​

Download the required dependencies for the same Minecraft version.

At minimum, most setups need:

text
fabric-api
fzzy_config

Depending on the published build and dependency metadata, you may also need:

text
cardinal-components-api
fabric-language-kotlin

Optional but recommended:

text
modmenu

Optional compatibility:

text
trinkets

4. Move Files to the mods Folder ​

The mods folder location depends on your operating system.

text
%appdata%\.minecraft\mods
text
~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/mods
text
~/.minecraft/mods

Move the MT Inventory Weight .jar and all required dependency .jar files into the mods folder.

5. Launch Minecraft ​

Open the Minecraft Launcher.

Select the Fabric profile and click Play.

If the game starts successfully, MT Inventory Weight should load and print startup messages in the log.

You can check for a line similar to:

text
Starting Inventory Weight

6. Configure the Mod ​

MT Inventory Weight uses fzzy_config.

If Mod Menu is installed:

  1. Open the Mods menu.
  2. Find MT Inventory Weight.
  3. Open its config screen.
  4. Change server or client settings.

Server settings include:

  • max weight
  • pocket weight
  • realistic mode
  • overload penalty strength
  • base category weights

Client settings include:

  • HUD style
  • HUD position
  • HUD text mode
  • HUD text position
  • tooltip visibility

Server settings can update live while the game/server is running.

Dedicated Server Installation ​

For a dedicated server:

  1. Install Fabric Server.
  2. Put MT Inventory Weight and required dependencies in the server mods folder.
  3. Put the same mod and required client-side dependencies in each player's client mods folder.
  4. Start the server.
  5. Edit config files or use in-game config tools if available.

WARNING

Clients should also install MT Inventory Weight. The server handles gameplay, but the client needs the mod for HUD, tooltips, and synced display data.

Updating the Mod ​

To update:

  1. Stop the game/server.
  2. Back up your world.
  3. Remove the old MT Inventory Weight .jar.
  4. Add the new .jar.
  5. Update dependencies if required.
  6. Start the game/server.

fzzy_config should migrate config files when possible.

If you have issues after a major update, try regenerating the config files:

text
config/inventoryweight/client-config.toml
config/inventoryweight/server-config.toml

Troubleshooting ​

The game crashes on startup ​

Check that:

  • you installed Fabric Loader, not Forge/NeoForge
  • you installed the correct Minecraft version
  • Fabric API is installed
  • fzzy_config is installed
  • required dependencies are installed
  • all mods are for the same Minecraft version

Config screen does not appear ​

Install Mod Menu:

Also make sure fzzy_config is installed.

Trinkets items are not counted ​

Make sure Trinkets is installed on both client and server.

If Trinkets is not installed, MT Inventory Weight will skip Trinkets compatibility automatically.

Server config changes do not apply ​

The current version supports live fzzy_config updates. If changes do not apply:

  • make sure you are editing the server/synced config, not only the client HUD config
  • check the log for Applying Inventory Weight server settings live
  • try /reload
  • restart the world/server if needed
  • report the issue with your log file
