Config screen

Open the editor with:

/restrictedinventory config

Find a restriction

The upper panel contains two collections:

• Items includes registered items and the variants found in creative tabs, such as potions and enchanted books.
• Tags includes registered item tags and cycles through their members for the preview.

Search matches display names, registry IDs, and item tooltip text. For example, searching sharpness can find the corresponding enchanted book. Prefix a query with a namespace and a colon—such as minecraft:torch—to narrow results by mod.

Scroll with the wheel or drag the bar at the right of the list.

Edit the slot grid

The middle panel mirrors the player's 36 inventory slots.

Input	Result
Left-click an item or tag	Select it as the active restriction
Left-click a slot	Apply the active restriction
Right-click a slot	Clear the slot's restriction
Middle-click a filled slot	Edit its component or NBT filter
Hover a slot	Show its item/tag and variant filter

Select Save to write and activate the rules. Cancel closes the editor without applying the working changes.

Group rules survive the editor

The picker offers items and tags only. A slot already restricted to a group keeps that rule through an editor session — it previews and saves normally, it just has no single NBT filter to middle-click. Applying an item or tag to that slot replaces the group rule, as it would any other.

Reading the preview

A filled slot in the editor cycles through valid items when its rule targets a tag. In a normal inventory, a restricted slot displays a gray ghost item so players can recognize the expected content without opening the editor.

Minecraft 1.20.1 calls variant data NBT. Minecraft 1.21.1 and newer use data components. The editor provides the same middle-click workflow on every supported branch.
