Item Converter

Convert items directly from your inventory/me system using recipe types.

Features

Inventory Conversion

Hold the conversion key (default: Left Alt) while hovering over an item to open a conversion popup. The popup shows all available conversion targets based on configured recipe types.

• Left-click: Convert to inventory
• Right-click: Drop converted item
• Release key: Convert all and replace in slot
• Shift + click: Convert entire stack
• Number keys (1-9): Quick select and convert to numbered slot

Middle-Click Auto Conversion

Target a block in the world and middle-click to automatically search your inventory for items that can be converted to that block and perform the conversion.

• In creative mode, hold shift to use this feature (normal middle-click does pick block)
• Prefers items in main inventory over hotbar
• Toggle with /itemconverter middleclick

Special Tags

Configure special item tags that receive priority treatment:

• Appear first in conversion results
• Highlighted with colored border
• Preferred source for middle-click conversions
