How the Automatic Bag Container Swap Works

This feature works with bag items like [NoCube's] Simple Bags that contain inventory containers.

When you're holding a bag item in slot 9:

Hold a bag item (e.g., [NoCube's] Simple Bags) in hotbar slot 9
Press G key to drop it (hotbar drop action)
Instead of dropping the bag, the system automatically swaps only the first row of the bag's contents with your hotbar slots 1-8
The bag slot itself remains unchanged

This feature allows you to quickly access items stored in your bag without manually swapping rows.

Dropping a Bag Item

There are two ways to drop a bag item:

Using Inventory Screen: Open your inventory screen, and drop the bag from slot 9 normally
- This will drop the bag item without triggering the automatic swap
- You can freely drop or move the bag when the inventory screen is open
Using Hotbar (G key): Press G key with the bag in slot 9
- This triggers the automatic swap instead of dropping
- If you want to drop instead, move the bag to a different hotbar slot first

The automatic swap only triggers when:

The bag is in hotbar slot 9
You press G key to drop (not through the inventory screen)
