Much like SFINV, this mod is a "A cleaner, simpler solution to having an advanced inventory in Minetest." It's intended to be an excellent modding base.

Sway uses Flow formspecs for rendering. With Sway, formspec size is no longer a limit to your UI or UX. You can have fully dynamic layouts too!

Lots of changes are underway! The API is not stable yet.

Target audience is server owners and mod developers. Sway Inv is intended as the core component of a larger, more complete inventory mod. On my Github I have multiple such addons to make sway actually usable, but they are pre-beta phase and are by far not ready for actual use yet.

Features

• So simple that it doesn't depend on any games in particular.
• Rich API.
• Flow forms instead of ridgid and difficult to harden formspec strings
