Ennui's Bigger Inventories
Ennui's Bigger Inventories is a modification that fundamentally transforms the storage system in Minecraft, doing so in a way that feels completely natural to the vanilla game style. The mod adds a tenth column of slots not only to the player's inventory but to all containers: chests, barrels, shulker boxes, and much more!
You might be concerned about losing access to servers with standard nine-column inventories or having to sacrifice your worlds for this mod. Don't worry! The mod is fully compatible with both vanilla servers and worlds using the standard storage system. You decide when to convert your worlds to expanded inventories.
Important Warning: The mod is in the stabilization phase! Although the initial beta version was tested in several survival worlds and hasn't caused critical issues so far, if the mod suggests creating a backup at any point in the game, be sure to click the "Create Backup" button!
Dependencies
For the mod to work, you need to have Fabric API installed. You can use either Fabric Loader or Quilt Loader as the loader.
If you prefer ready-made packs, there's an official carefully curated package Ennui's Bigger Intro available for download!

Compatibility
Like all mods that deeply alter the inventory system, the question arises about Ennui's Bigger Inventories' compatibility with other modifications. The answer: it depends on the specific mod! You'll likely encounter issues with mods that affect inventory and add new content.
Fortunately, this doesn't mean the mod will conflict with every existing modification! But if some mod turns out to be incompatible, developers will have few paths to add Ennui's Bigger Inventories support.
One way is through intermediary mods, such as the officially supported Ennui's Bigger Gambiarra, named so because it represents a complex temporary solution! However, the official compatibility mod has a limited scope, and other developers can create their own solutions.
The preferred path - official support from the mod itself - is currently quite difficult due to this modification's architecture. Plans are underway to simplify the process for cross-platform mod developers so they can easily add such support.
Fun Facts About the Name Before You Mess It Up
You can shorten the name to Ennui's Big Invs (or Enny's Big Invs), EBI, or even just call it the "big inventory mod"!
The answer to "who is Ennui" is the same as the answers to "who is Rei", "who is Xaero" - they all created minimaps, but I don't know who they really are! So the answer is "I don't know"!
And finally, how to pronounce Ennui: use the Brazilian pronunciation; it can't be explained otherwise! I guess you could say it's like your silly "annui" but use E instead of A! Ennui!
