# Spatial<\/p>\n
Spatial is a server side Fabric mod that converts the inventory system into a grid-based system. A spatial system.<\/p>\n
So many mods these days are trying to fix the ever-growing problem that is the inventory.
\nThis mod is not one of those.
\nSpatial revolutionizes the way that you struggle to organize your inventory.<\/p>\n
There is also a completely optional client side version that improves the rendering and overall cohesiveness of the experience.<\/p>\n

## Configuration<\/p>\n
The config file can be found in `.\/config\/spatial.json`.<\/p>\n
Overrides for shapes of items can be added in the config using by adding entries to `shape_overrides`.<\/p>\n
### Shape Format<\/p>\n
The format of shape overrides is similar to the format crafting recipes use for their shape.
\nAny character besides a space is treated as a slot the item occupies. Spaces are treated as empty slots.<\/p>\n
An example config that gives goat horns an L shape.
\n“`json
\n{
\n …
\n “shape_overrides”: {
\n “minecraft:goat_horn”: [
\n “x “,
\n “xx”
\n ]
\n },
\n …
\n}
\n“`<\/p>\n
### Brutal Mode<\/p>\n
When enabled brutal mode disables stacking of **any** items.
\nDisabled by default.<\/p>\n
## Mod Compatibility<\/p>\n
Spatial will automatically detect all shaped recipes loaded at server start.
\nSo no extra work is required for modded items that have shaped crafting recipes.<\/p>\n
To avoid breaking modded inventories Spatial is only active in specific inventory screens.
\nThis may be configurable in the future but as of right now it won’t work in modded screens that don’t extend a vanilla screen that has Spatial items enabled.<\/p>\n
### Supported Screens<\/p>\n
– Survival Player Inventory
\n– Chests
\n– Ender Chests
\n– Barrels
\n– Shulker Boxes
\n– Dispensers and Droppers
\n– Vehicle Inventories<\/p>\n
### For Modders<\/p>\n
If you want to add shape overrides for an item in your mod or another mod
\nyou need to register a listener to `Spatial.SHAPES_LOADED` and call `Spatial.addShapeOverride(item, shape)` or any of the other shape override methods.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
