Inventory Transfer

Take your loot to a new world.

Inventory Transfer lets you export items from one Vintage Story world and import them into another. Whether you're migrating to a fresh seed, moving to a friend's server, or just want to carry your hard-earned gear forward — this mod handles it.

How It Works

Exporting (/exportinv): Collects items from your player inventory (hotbar, character slots, bags and their contents) and all containers (chests, crates, etc.) within a 30-block radius of your position. The data is saved to a config file that persists outside the world save.

Importing (/importinv): Reads the exported data and places items directly into your inventory. If your inventory fills up, the mod automatically spawns overflow chests at your feet and fills those instead. After import, you get a full audit report showing how many items landed in your pockets, how many went to overflow chests, and whether anything failed to transfer.

What Gets Exported

Most items and blocks are exported, including tools, weapons, armor, food, ingots, ores, gems, animal parts, dyes, clothing, bags (and their contents), chests, torches, molds, and any other items or blocks not on the filter list below.

Item attributes are preserved — tool durability, food freshness, custom names, and other metadata all carry over.

What Gets Filtered Out

To keep exports clean and focused on valuables, the following common bulk blocks are automatically skipped:

• Stone (all stone-material blocks)
• Soil/Dirt (all soil-material blocks)
• Gravel (all gravel-material blocks)
• Sand (all sand-material blocks)
• Cobblestone
• Plaster
• Planks
• Logs

Exceptions: Chests, torches, and molds are always exported even if they would otherwise match a filtered material.

Important Notes

• Items must be in containers or on your person. The export scans your player inventory and any chest/crate within 30 blocks. Items dropped on the ground as entities are not captured — make sure everything is stored in a container or in your inventory before exporting.
• Items from other mods will only import successfully if the destination world also has those mods installed. Unrecognized item codes will appear in the audit report as missing.
• Server-side only. Both commands require chat privileges.
• The export file (feyd_inventory_transfer.json) is saved to your ModConfig folder and can be manually copied between installations if needed.

Commands

Disclaimer

This mod was vibe-coded by a hobbyist. While it works great in my testing, I'm not a professional developer — Please back up your worlds in case something goes sideways and use at your own risk!

TEST this mod in a new world BEFORE deleting your source world! From my testing the mod is consistent and reliable but there may be items that you thought would transfer that do not. 

I will answer questions and resolve bugs as best I can. I made this mod to use myself and thought I'd share it with others.
