Extra Trinkets
Inventory clutter is one of the quiet frustrations of modded Minecraft. You pick up a wrench, a couple of potions, a linked controller, and suddenly half your hotbar is gone. Extra Trinkets exists to fix exactly that problem. It is a small add-on that expands the popular Trinkets system with extra, purpose-built slots, so the odds and ends you actually use end up on your character instead of clogging your backpack.
The add-on is distributed as a combined data pack and resource pack packaged into a single .jar file, which means you simply drop it into your mods folder like any other mod. It is designed for Fabric and works alongside Trinkets, which is a hard requirement. Without Trinkets installed, Extra Trinkets will not function at all. The add-on supports modern Minecraft releases in the 1.20.x and 1.21.x range, so most players on current versions can use it without hunting for a legacy build.
What Slots Does Extra Trinkets Add?
Every new slot is tied to a specific type of item, which keeps the system tidy and prevents you from stuffing random junk into them. Here is the full breakdown:
- Wrench - 1 slot. Accepts anything tagged as a wrench, and wrenches can also be placed in the existing Belt slot.
- Remote - 5 slots. Holds Create linked controllers and Weird Wares sculk remotes, and these can also go in the Belt slot.
- Clipboard - 1 slot. Holds the Create clipboard, which is far more useful for writing notes than staring at a static tooltip.
- Potion - 2 slots. Accepts any potion, whether vanilla or modded, so your buffs are always one keypress away.
- Shard Tablet - 1 slot. Holds the Scattered Shards shard tablet. No notes here, just shards.
There is one more nice touch worth mentioning: Create Super Glue can be placed in the existing Belt slot, giving that item a sensible home without adding a dedicated slot for it.
Why This Add-On Is Worth Installing
Trinkets itself is a framework, and frameworks only shine when add-ons fill them with useful content. Extra Trinkets does that with a very narrow, very practical scope. Instead of adding new items or mechanics, it simply gives existing items a place to live. If you run a Create-heavy modpack, the wrench and clipboard slots alone will save you a surprising amount of inventory management. If you dabble in magic or combat mods, the potion slots are the obvious win.
Because the add-on is lightweight, it also plays nicely in large packs. There is no new ore to mine, no new crafting tree to learn, and no config screen to wrestle with. You install it, and the slots appear.
Installing Extra Trinkets the Easy Way
If you want to download Extra Trinkets without manually matching loader versions, the foxygame.net launcher offers a one-click install that pulls the correct build of Extra Trinkets straight into your mods folder, so you never have to worry about a mismatched Fabric version breaking your pack. That convenience matters more than people admit, especially when you are juggling a dozen add-ons at once.
For anyone doing it manually, the process is still straightforward. First, confirm you are running Fabric and that Trinkets is already installed. Next, grab the Extra Trinkets .jar that matches your Minecraft version. Then place the file in your mods folder and launch the game. If you are unsure how to install, the general rule is simple: if it ends in .jar and lives in mods, the loader handles the rest.
Compatibility and Support
Extra Trinkets is built to be extended. The author maintains a Discord server where players can request support or ask for compatibility with additional mods, which is a good sign for long-term maintenance. If a mod you love uses an item that would fit naturally into one of these slots, that is exactly the kind of feedback the project welcomes.
Keep in mind that compatibility requests are not instant. Slot definitions depend on item tags, so adding support for a new mod usually means the mod author needs to tag their items appropriately, or the add-on needs a small update. Either way, the community-driven approach keeps the add-on growing.
Final Thoughts
Extra Trinkets is not a flashy mod. It will not transform your world or add a boss fight. What it does is quietly remove a daily annoyance: the constant shuffling of wrenches, potions, and remotes between your inventory and your hotbar. For a tiny .jar file, that is a very good trade. If you already use Trinkets and play with Create or any potion-heavy setup, this add-on deserves a spot in your mods folder.
