# CFY SimpleRefill
CFY SimpleRefill (Auto Hotbar Refill) is a lightweight and reliable mod for Vintage Story 1.22.x that automatically refills items in your hotbar from the rest of your inventory. 🔄
No more interruptions during mining, building, or combat – once a stack runs out, it gets instantly replaced! ⚔️
✨ Features
🔄 Automatic refill of tools, blocks, and consumables in your hotbar.
🛠 Blacklist support – exclude certain items (e.g., torches) so they will never refill.
⏱ Configurable delay (refillDelayMs) – control how quickly the slot gets refilled after becoming empty.
📦 Smart stack selection – optionally refill only from larger stacks, avoiding clutter from leftovers.
🌐 Server-friendly – works seamlessly in both singleplayer and multiplayer.
💡 Lightweight – minimal performance impact and highly compatible with other mods.
🎮 How to Use & Install
1. Download the mod and place the .zip file into your game mods directory:
`%appdata%/VintagestoryData/Mods/`
2. Start the game and play as usual – empty hotbar slots will refill automatically!
3. (Optional) Customize the settings in the configuration file `SimpleRefillConfig.json` located in your `ModConfig/` folder:
{
"blacklist": [ "game:torch", "game:clay" ],
"refillDelayMs": 300,
"useOnlyBiggerStacks": true
}

This is great for building, but awful for crafting, I'm not sure why but the mod really likes to drag things from bags to hotbar when moving things around inventory but it is very frustrating, including things like tools/weapons, if there is a way to disable that from happening I would probably enjoy this mod a lot more, otherwise a great concept
Thanks a lot for the feedback! This issue is now fixed in version 1.4.0 🚀
What's fixed:
Crafting & Sorting: Moving items around your inventory or into the crafting grid will no longer trigger unwanted refills. The mod now checks total item count and only refills when an item is actually consumed (e.g. placed as a block or eaten).
Tools & Weapons: Added a new config option (
refillToolsAndWeapons) so weapons and tools won't automatically jump into empty hotbar slots.Enjoy the update! 🧱✨
That's a funny looking stone texture :^)
That's what it's for 😆
If I want to blacklist all backpack items, what'd be the simplest way to do so?
ie Baskets, bags, all of the vanilla ones.
Actually, you don't even need to configure anything! In the latest version (v1.3.6), I have completely fixed this directly in the code. 😎🦾
Thanks much!
Was wondering why it was moving bags with items into my hands when I was trying to swap bags around. 😅
Any Idea if this is gonna be updated.... Sheesh I miss it!
Now its updated 😎
Concur with prior comments. This mod is both a blessing and a curse. There are times I wish I could toggle it off.
I've also found several situation where things move into my hotbar at a time when they shouldn't (such as delays of several full seconds), resulting in confusion. Those situations are reproducible, but I need to write down exactly how to reproduce it so the author can fix or explain.
I second Kyrios's query, beyond just adding it to the blacklist. Feels odd to grab actively equipped equipment and I don't recall it doing this before. Though Quivers & Sheaths did recently overhaul their system.
is there a way to stop this dragging equiped clothes and armor down to the hotbar? crashed my server when I tossed someone a belt from sheathes mod
Could you please add a hotkey to toggle this mod on / off? This mod quickly goes from insanely useful to annoying as hell to insanely useful again in the span of 5 minutes.
Filling bloomeries? Hell yeah. Filling crates? Very nice. Trying to orderly place books on a bookshelf? Colonoscopy. Placing a tool on a rack but keep a spare on you? Thanks, but I wanted it in my inventor- STAY IN MY INV STOP GOING BACK INTO MY HOTBAR AAAAA
I know there's a blacklist feature but that is inconvenient to use considering I have to go and fetch the item ID, and there's a bunch of random items I'd like to just not restock, and sometimes I might actually want that item to restock. A hotkey toggle would solve all of this.
Edit: Or just add a command that blacklists the held item
Thanks for making this. Has the configurability Th3Restock was lacking.
Been trying to find a hand restock mod that'll replace the quartz chunks in my hand while filling bloomeries.
@The_Revisionist
Hi, it's really simple. For example, when you're building something (dirt, wood, stone), after you've placed all the blocks from your hand, they'll be replenished from your inventory if you have them there. It also works for tools, plus there's a config where you can disable certain items so they don't get replenished. Plus, when you put items in a closed chest, it works the same way. For example, if you have a lot of clay, so you don't have to drag it to the hotbar, it will be added to your hand and you just click.
Hi! I'm trying to understand, in what way is it different to the vanilla hand refill mechanic?
Amazing work, thank you very much
TrippyTheO Thank you very much for your support and patience in creating this mod, it means a lot to me and your comment warmed my heart.❤️
Hey Carfy! After the last update everything seems to be working fine for me so far. Shift clicking isn't giving me any issues, to or from my inventory. Putting down stone-piles on the ground has been great, also piles of Peat (possible from another mod). I cannot speak for Gerbys issues as I do not use that mod. That aside, with whatever combinations of mods I am currently using, things are working very well. Thank you for the updates and efforts, I'm really enjoying the improved features.
There seems to be an issue with compatibilty to item removal with hotkey mods, specifically this one, https://mods.vintagestory.at/nohands.
No matter what the item is or how many I have it will just put the item back into the hotbar immediately. Not a super big deal for most I'm sure and I obviosouly don't expect a fix as this would likely be complex (I know nothing of code). Just wanted to let you know about it.
The bug is still there, but now triggers tools to "return" after shift-clicking it to inventory.
TrippyTheO Its okay :D im glad to download my mod and test it :) ❤️
TrippyTheO I apologize for the inconvenience, but this error should now be fixed. :)
After installing I'm having some inventory issues. Shift clicking items out of my hotbar and into my inventory (like the woven basket inventory) causes the item to be immediately placed back on my hotbar. Sometimes clicking an item and removing it from my hot bar takes it from me and places itt back in my hotbar immediately.
A way to blacklist specific items would be greatly appreciated.
Wagonobones I thought so too. Apparently some mod does this too.
Wagonobones I didn't notice that it was in the game. But it works on all blocks, which is useful for building and such.
i thought the game already di this or is it only for tools?
yes its for both :)
can this be client side?
