TFC+ Quick Pockets: Streamline Your TerraFirmaCraft+ Inventory
If you have ever spent more time shuffling tools around your hotbar than actually building, mining, or surviving in TerraFirmaCraft+, you know exactly how frustrating inventory management can be. The modpack’s deep crafting systems and realistic mechanics are incredible, but they also demand that you carry a small arsenal of specialized tools at all times. TFC+ Quick Pockets is the addon that finally gives you back control, letting you focus on the adventure instead of the inventory screen.
What Is TFC+ Quick Pockets?
This lightweight but powerful addon is designed specifically for TerraFirmaCraft+ on Minecraft 1.7.10. It does not overhaul the core survival experience; instead, it quietly eliminates dozens of tiny, repetitive clicks that break your immersion. From instant tool swapping to automatic refills, every feature is built around one idea: keep you in the game world. The mod runs on Minecraft Forge 10.13.4.1558 and has been tested with TFC+ version 0.87, though it should work smoothly with later GUI-compatible updates.
Core Features That Transform Your Gameplay
Hotbar Cycling Without Opening Your Inventory
TFC+ fills your hotbar with chisels, saws, knives, and more, but scrolling through them one by one is slow. Quick Pockets introduces a press-and-hold ALT preview window that shows the inventory rows directly above and below your hotbar. While holding ALT, simply scroll up or down to swap items instantly. You never have to leave the first-person view, so mining, building, and combat flow uninterrupted.
Auto-Refill for Broken Tools and Consumables
Picture this: you are halfway through felling a massive kapok tree when your axe shatters. Normally, you would open your inventory, hunt for a spare, and drag it to the hotbar. With the auto-refill feature enabled, a backup axe automatically jumps into your hand the moment the first one breaks. This works for weapons, food, drinks, building blocks, stone flakes, and even flowers. As long as a replacement exists somewhere in your inventory, your rhythm stays intact.
Quick Bag Access from Any Screen
Vessels and leather bags are essential in TFC+, but moving items between them used to be a multi-step chore: open inventory, place bag in hotbar, close menu, right-click bag, transfer items, repeat. Quick Pockets changes that entirely. Now, right-clicking any bag directly from your inventory screen instantly opens it right there. You can manage your portable storage without ever closing the main inventory, saving precious seconds every time you reorganize.
Smart Tool Swapping with Hotkeys
Sometimes the tool you need is buried deep in your backpack. Instead of searching, you can now bind hotkeys for axes, saws, pickaxes, chisels, and more. Press the assigned key, and the mod cycles through all matching tools in your inventory, placing the first available one into your hand. This feature is fully configurable in the Controls menu under the Inventory category, so you can set up shortcuts that feel natural to you.
Walk While Your Inventory Is Open
It always felt odd that your character freezes in place the moment you open your inventory. Quick Pockets adds a small but liberating tweak: hold the sprint key while your inventory screen is up, and you can run and jump freely. This only works for the player inventory and carried containers like small vessels and leather bags, not for stationary chests, so it stays balanced and logical.
Skip Empty Hotbar Slots
Scrolling through empty slots to reach your sword or pickaxe is a waste of time. With this mod, empty hotbar slots are automatically skipped during scrolling, so you jump directly from one useful item to the next. The behavior is fully configurable in the Hotbar Cycling settings.
Additional Sounds and Visual Fixes
Minecraft 1.7.10 can feel eerily quiet compared to modern versions. Quick Pockets backports bucket sounds, weapon sounds, chest closing sounds, and several TFC+-specific audio cues. Each sound can be toggled individually in the config, and volume sliders give you fine control. The mod also corrects a handful of visual inconsistencies: the player model in the inventory now properly follows your cursor, left-side slot alignment in basket and large vessel GUIs is fixed, and nine chest variants (baobab, ebony, fever, fruitwood, gingko, limba, mahogany, mangrove, and palm) no longer flicker due to z-fighting texture errors.
No More Useless Drops
Spider eyes and rotten flesh serve no purpose in TFC+ except to clutter your inventory. Quick Pockets simply prevents them from dropping altogether, keeping your bags clean and your focus on meaningful resources.
Installation and Configuration
Since the mod is a Forge addon, you will need Minecraft Forge for 1.7.10 installed first. You can grab the mod file from its official GitHub releases page and drop it into your mods folder manually. However, if you prefer a more streamlined approach, the foxygame.net launcher makes the process effortless. This modern, flexible launcher lets you browse and install mods directly from its built-in menu, so you can add TFC+ Quick Pockets to your instance without digging through folders or worrying about version mismatches. Once installed, all features are accessible through the in-game Mods menu, where you will find separate configuration categories for each module. Key bindings for tool swapping and other actions are set up under Options > Controls > Inventory.
Why This Addon Belongs in Every TFC+ Playthrough
TerraFirmaCraft+ is a masterpiece of slow, deliberate survival, but its inventory friction was never an intentional challenge. Quick Pockets respects the modpack’s vision while surgically removing the busywork that pulls you out of the experience. The result is a smoother, more immersive journey where you spend less time staring at grids and more time shaping the world around you. Whether you are a seasoned TFC+ veteran or just starting your first pit kiln, this addon is a quiet game-changer that you will quickly wonder how you ever played without.
