Lunchbox

Lunchbox adds lunchboxes to the game (wow, surprising)

These lunchboxes can hold up to 18 stacks of food in one item, allowing for quick switching between food

Ever been overwhelmed by inventory management with a food mod that rewards you for carrying around 12 different types of food? This mod is for you!

 

How do I put items in the lunchbox?

You place it down by sneaking while trying to place it

How do I select which food to eat?

Sneak and use it in a way that won't place it to open the lunchbox selection menu

How do I allow/deny an item from entering the lunchbox?

The mod has a few tags, namely lunchbox:lunchbox_blacklisted and lunchbox:lunchbox_whitelisted which disallow/allow an item to be put into a lunchbox

What's the item showing up near the corner of my hotbar

That's the item preview, showing you the current state of the item you have selected for your convenience. It can be configured within the lunchbox-client.toml config file.

The item preview is covering up/not aligning with some other mod's HUD, what do I do?

You can adjust the position of the preview quite a bit with the client config, try messing around with the values in there to see if you can get it to a position you're satisfied with.

When will you update to 1.19?

Soon, I've decided to move past 1.18.2 because I wanted a few modern features and stuff and dislike this being my only mod still on 1.18.2. New version will be 1.19.3.

What modloader is this for?

Forge!

Will it come to Fabric soon?

Maybe later, I'm still learning the basics of modding and will consider porting to fabric once the mod is complete.

Can I use this in my modpack?

Yes!

 

Additional tips:

- The lunchbox is able to be broken instantly with anything, and when broken will go into your hand if it is empty.

- If you use up everything in one slot of the lunchbox, it automatically tries to seek out a slot containing any more of that item in the inventory and if that fails it tries to find the next non-empty slot.

- Pressing the hotbar keys (1-9) while in the selection gui will quick-select that slot from the first row of the lunchbox and close it.

- The lunchbox is a valid container when placed and accepts any input/output.

 

Future update plans:

- Adding colored variations for the lunchbox (all 16 dye colors)

- Adding the Cooler, a lunchbox specialized in potions with a few special

- Possibly adding a few mutually exclusive enchantments for the lunchboxes to allow you to specialize a lunchbox for specific purposes?
