Info in slot
Minecraft is a game of endless discovery, but sometimes the smallest quality-of-life improvements make the biggest difference. If you have ever found yourself constantly hovering over items in your inventory just to check their stats, you know exactly how tedious that can become. The Info in slot add-on solves this problem elegantly by extracting information from the item tooltip and displaying it directly inside the inventory hotbar slot. No more mouse hovering, no more squinting at tiny text, and no more lost time during intense gameplay sessions.
What Does Info in slot Do?
This clever mod takes the data that would normally appear when you hover over an item and pushes it straight into the slot itself. Whether you are managing a bustling auction house, tracking personal orders, or simply keeping an eye on your gear, Info in slot for Minecraft keeps all the essential numbers visible at a glance. The mod was inspired by the Map in Slot mod and the DonutSMP Server, and it has grown into a robust tool with a wide range of configuration options.
Key Features at a Glance
- Displays expiration timers for items with a self-destruct or expire mechanic
- Shows auction prices and order prices directly in the slot
- Tracks order delivered counts, including personal orders and other player orders
- Displays buy and sell prices for quick trading decisions
- Shows chance percentages with an optional fraction mode (e.g., 5% or 1/20)
- Supports multiple currency displays including Shards, Coins, Gems, and Rubies
- Detects special items and displays them with a customizable tag
- Shows scale levels and abbreviations for supported servers
Customization Options Galore
One of the standout aspects of this mod is the sheer level of control you have over how information appears. You can change the color of the text, toggle bold font, and adjust text size between small, medium, and large (with large reserved for timers). The background can be toggled on or off, giving you a clean dark gray square behind the text or a completely unobstructed view. You can also position the text at the top, middle, or bottom of the slot, and even enable display outlines for a cleaner alternative to backgrounds.
Configuration Through Mod Menu or Commands
For players who prefer a graphical interface, the Mod Menu provides an intuitive way to tweak every setting. However, if you are not using Mod Menu or simply want a quick change, the command system has you covered. The command tree starts with /infoinslot, allowing you to adjust everything from timer colors to background toggles. There is also a color separator option for expiration timers, which changes the display color based on time remaining: magenta for 2+ days, aqua for days, gold for hours, and red for minutes.
Keybinds for Quick Control
Beyond visual customization, Info in slot offers several keybinds to streamline your experience. You can toggle the entire mod on and off with an unbound key of your choice. Another keybind cycles the expire timer character size between small, medium, and large. A third keybind toggles hours-only mode, converting displays like "2d 20h" into a simpler "68h". Finally, you can toggle all backgrounds or switch fraction mode for chance displays with dedicated keybinds.
Server Support and Compatibility
This mod goes beyond vanilla Minecraft by offering dedicated support for specific servers. The DonutSMP Server gets its own currency displays for Shards and Coins, while Hypixel compatibility is built in for Coins and Gems. The 1.4.0 update added Rainyday.gg server support, displaying Cloud Coins as currency and detecting special items by looking for "[Special]" in the item name. Scale levels are displayed in the center of the slot, with optional two-letter abbreviations like "Du+75" for Dungeoneer, and you can even customize the abbreviation colors.
For those looking to expand their modded Minecraft experience, the foxygame.net launcher offers a one-click install for Info in slot, making the setup process effortless. The launcher's add-on catalog keeps the mod updated automatically, so you never have to worry about version mismatches or manual downloads.
Scale Configuration File
Advanced users will appreciate the JSON file that stores scale names, max level values, and colors. This file generates automatically when the mod loads and is located at AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\config\infoinslot_scales.json. This future-proof design means that if a server changes its scale system, you can easily edit the file to match without waiting for a mod update.
