Streamline Your Inventory
Tackling the ‘Inventory Dilemma’
Over the years, Minecraft has seen its item catalog grow significantly. While various mods attempt to accommodate additional storage space, Debloat takes a proactive approach to enhance looting dynamics, crafting recipes, and world generation, ultimately preventing inventory clutter right from the start!
What Can You Expect from This Mod?
Debloat’s core philosophy revolves around giving players the choice to opt-in for the items they wish to collect. To achieve this, it mandates that various foliage and special blocks, particularly those linked to Lush Caves and Nether biomes, require specific tools to yield drops, ensuring that the inventories of players uninterested in these items remain uncluttered.
Moreover, it refines underground generation by, for instance, limiting certain stone variations and constraining the depth where Dirt and Gravel can spawn, while still allowing these resources to be readily accessible if desired.
Finally, Debloat combines items with similar functions — such as Steak and Pork Chops — so they no longer take up separate inventory slots.
These modifications are implemented carefully to preserve the game’s balance while reducing the most frustrating ‘bloat’ items, striving for a more refined inventory experience. It can surely serve as an advantageous addition to your inventory management toolkit!

Essential Information
Since Debloat eliminates certain vanilla components, many modded recipes may become unusable until they are reconfigured. While I hope to add compatibility with popular mods like Supplementaries and Create in the future, currently, Debloat is designed for ‘vanilla+’ scenarios.
Frequently Asked Questions
You got rid of nuggets?!? Absolutely! While they may have served a purpose initially, considering the limited space players already face in their inventory, adding yet another intermediary crafting component isn’t practical. Trust me — the original recipes and loot tables can be recreated using just ingots! There’s no pressing need for a ‘nugget’ item.
You eliminated chicken/mutton/rabbit/pork? Indeed! I can’t find any valid reason for Minecraft to differentiate between every meat type! It lacks realism! Steak/Porkchops and Chicken/Rabbit are functionally the same items. Merging these meat types merely allows for stacking in the inventory.
You took out Andesite/Diorite/Granite??? Not at all! They still exist in the game! They simply don’t generate naturally but can be crafted more affordably using Quartz or Calcite, making them accessible even before entering the Nether. If you want them, they’re there; if not, you won’t even notice them.
What Else Can I Do to Optimize Minecraft’s Inventory?
