Bulk Transfer

Bulk transfer actions operate on the inventory section you clicked. In a chest, clicking a chest slot moves items out of the chest; clicking your inventory moves items into the chest.

Transfer all of type only moves stacks matching the clicked item. Transfer single moves one item from each stack. Transfer all moves all items from the clicked inventory section.

By default, Transfer all and Transfer single require you to click an item stack. Enable allowBulkTransferAllOnEmptySlot if you want them to work from empty slots too.

Armor Sets

When bulkTransferArmorSets is enabled, space-clicking armor in your inventory swaps matching armor pieces into your equipment slots. Space-clicking equipped armor unequips your armor.

Restock and Dump

Restock and dump actions only work while a container is open and your cursor is not carrying an item.

Restock Container fills matching stacks in the open container from your inventory. Restock Inventory fills matching stacks in your inventory from the open container. Dump to Container moves inventory items into the open container, including empty container slots when possible.

Client and Server

Most controls work client-side. When Inventory Essentials is installed on the server too, supported transfer, restock and dump actions use server-side handling. Installing it on both sides can help in multiplayer environments where client-only inventory actions are restricted.
