Feature Proposal: The Satchel
The Satchel is a unique item obtainable only from the Wandering Trader. It adds a dedicated slot to the left side of the player's inventory for Shulker Boxes and a slot on the right for Bundles. These slots only appear when hovered over, keeping the interface clean.
Players can access these items quickly without opening the inventory by using hotkeys (defaulting to Z for Shulkers and X for Bundles). Holding the key and scrolling makes the player cycle through the available slots to swap them into their hand.
To ensure balance, the Satchel starts with limited capacity. Further upgrades require rare materials to prevent the item from becoming overpowered too quickly:
- Base Satchel: 1 Shulker slot.
- With added "Pocket": 1 Shulker slot, 2 Bundle slots (Pocket is an easily craftable add-on).
- Level 1 Upgrade: 2 Shulker slots, 3 Bundle slots.
- Max Upgrade: 3 Shulker slots, 3 Bundle slots.
By making the Pocket easily craftable, the Satchel provides utility even for early-game. The slots are limited to 3 to preserve balance and fit into the inventory grid.
I think this is a great way to solve the inventory issues that currently plague the game because of it's abundance of items, whilst maintaining the Vanilla feel, and giving the Wandering Trader a much needed unique utility.
