Latest release (for Vintage Story 1.22.0 - 1.22.3, potentially outdated):
immersive-inventory-slots-net10-1.0.2.zip 1-click install
Overview
My first Anti-QoL mod, this tiny mod removes inventory slots that appear next to the crafting grid, forcing you to put down your backpack in order to search for things
Why? I'm a freak and I love tedious things, needed this for my own playthrough, maybe someone will find it useful too!

Recommended mod combination
This mod is meant to work in tandem with these mods:
Configs
If you feel like total inventory removal is too much, worry not! You can adjust couple things via these configs:
- "HideBackpackSlots" - core idea of the mod, it hides inventory slots. Set to true on default
- "AllowModdedSlots" - it allows to see item slots added by modded items such as quivers, modded bags or sheaths etc. Set to false on default
- EXPERIMENTAL MAY BE BUGGY: "ImmersiveBackpacksViewBagContents" - it allows to view your two side bags by clicking alt+e, added specifically for Immersive Backpacks mod. Set to false on default (pelt bags are currently bugged and will show you a coppy of your equiped bags, working on fixing that)
- "HideCraftingGrid" - it hides crafting grid, made for people using alternative crafting grid mods such as RKN Generic Crafting. Set to false on default

so it looks like allow modded slots dose not allow inventorys from quivers and sheaths forked
Is there any way for me to switch the hotkeys so rightclick opens the bag (on the ground) and ctrl+click picks it back up?
I thought this was cool as a standalone mod.
But if a simple tweak like this isn't for everyone, then the recent RKN Crafting mod is definitely a more complex take on it. You can craft outside of your inventory and craft on the ground. Along with Immersive backpacks completely removes the inventory altogether
Just putting it out there, because I love these "anti-QoL mods"
Could you add a mechanic where if you are holding a backpack in your hand, you can right click to open it, but it immediately closes when you move your hand off it.
BobEdJones I tried to do that briefly, could not figure it out. I may try again :>
Uh hey I just wanted to mention it seems that the Hidebackpack slots is being over ridden even when I have it toggled.
Yea the hidebackpack is a leftover config from testing, i left it there cuz i need it for myself but generally its better just to turn the mod off
I see!
I like so much this thing
Perfect mod to accompany immersive chests. Only thing that would make it better is if you could physically open the bags and have to place items in them like with immersive chests.
Ego_Sum As an immersive chest enjoyer i totally agree :> honestly i like the idea a lot, you may want to pitch the idea to the SaltyWater, maybe he will be willing to add an addon to immersive chests but for backpacks
Sounds awful, I love it
Sniffr0st hehehe enjoy!!
heyyo, I figured the config would be named something like immersive or inventory. something along those lines, yet I can't find it. trying to set for immersive backpacks and maybe rkn's crafting :\
VaporFerret Heyy yes indeed its called "ImmersiveInventorySlots.json"
I noticed that with the new ImmersiveBackpacksViewBagContents Option it will show me the Contents of one of the two Sidebags and in the Inventory Window of the other side bag it will instead show a copy of my equipped Backpacks.
FAIV Thats so strange haha it seems to be the case only for pelt bag, will fix that ;> thx for heads up
Yeah I just noticed as well that it seems to be the Pelt Bag only. Thought it was because of the slot but then I tested different bags and noticed its always the Pelt Bag no matter what slot. :D
What on earth, this is a strange bug haha. Why is it specifically the pelt bag? 🤔
FAIV I'm honestly not sure what is the cause of that bug hahaha i looked into it but i can't figure out whats up, its so strange all other bags work exactly as they should only pelt bag seems problematic, i'll be poking it further tho
This is incredible! I feel so giddy seeing a mod made compatible with mine out of the box! :D
Deven Oh my my, thank you so much for your mods!! Immersive backpack is now a permament member of my modpack hehe
You're so welcome! I'm so glad to hear that! :)
This might be way out of scope for this mod but I have a suggestion. I would love if you could access the side bag slots of Immersive Backpacks in your Inventory as usual and have the only access when on the ground for the actual middle slot backpack. Either way this is great and fits so well with Modular and Immersive Backpacks.
FAIV Very much in the scope! I will likely make it into a config option :> that would fit there nicely also i'm already working on a config that would allow modded item slots to appear
Thats amazing. I do really like the limitation of having to put down the backpack before accessing it but I also thought like it doesn't make sense i'd have to put down a pouch that I carry on my belt or to have to remove the backpack to access a tool attached to its side you know. Glad to hear there'll be config options to allow for some customization.
FAIV Check out newest update, added new config "ImmersiveBackpacksViewBagContents" that does exactly what you mentioned :>
What is the compatability with mods that rely upon the backpack slots for other things, such as butchering to carry the carcase home to be processed? There are lots of mods that use those slots for other than containers for inventory space.
I like the idea but I think it would ruin too many other very good mods from being used as well.
CG23Sailor the mod is not touching the backpack slots, the mods that i suggested indeed do that but this mod only removes the inventory slots that would be visible next to the crafting grid :> everything else stays the same
EDIT: Okey sorry i think i misunderstood you, indeed items that add additional slots would appear in the spot that i'm removing. Well, I don't have a solution for it right now, but most simple solution would be to allow only the modded slots to appear there i would guess. I'll figure something out :>
CG23Sailor Added new config options :> check out "config" section for more info!
Have you considered showing the inventories of the bags as you hold them with Immersive Backpacks if you open 3rd persion? Like how inventories pop up on blocks or entities(elk/horses), but on the player. An example would be Salty's Tool Belt. However do not copy salty's code, theres a bug related to his implementation.
Potato_Spud Do consider it now! Could be a nice config option
This, plus RKN Generic Crafting, would be such a vibe.

Art0 Immersion era! Awesome mod i gotta check that out
It would !
Unfortunatly, it doesn't seems to work perfectly at the moment, it looks like JeanBisset 's mod force the crafting grid when openning inventory.
I think you can still craft without it but it will still be there.
Jose_La_Frakass oH i gotta fix that then :> thanks for heads up
