Sway

Sway is a simple inventory mod for Minetest that makes use of Flow forms.

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!

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
