Suggestion: [Toolbox]

I'd like to suggest some additions for this:

1) a 'machine' that allows you to place the pack in to one slot and use a chest like view of it's contents in other slots (along with current inventory)

2) The 'next non-empty row' would be extracted, allowing for multiple layers of items

3) A way to dump the contents in to a reactor (I reload my reactors redstone-powered so I don't care about order, but dumping row after row of stuff in and then sorting the few things that miss the empty slots I wanted would be /ideal/)

Actually that batpack thingy is a nice idea and shouldn't take all too much effort.
Could make batpack storeable as well...

Means you can carry armor sets around in tool boxes, exchanging them with a few clicks.

As well i can make Toolboxed display the name of the first item within them if you hover over them. Should be determant enough

Sounds good. I always found weird that you could not instantly equip a piece of armor by right clicking it when its on your hands. This could mean easy exchange between Quantum Bodyarmor-Lappack-Jetpack when necessary

Sweet! You should make them nameable actually, and here's a recipe idea...

He already said it was a drag to do, and that recipes are the least important thing to show.

Quote from Baronmoron

Well in know the recipe i made was expensive, but i think it should be when adding more inventory space. And thats also the reason why i don't want any of the other mods out there adding more inventory space, they are way overpowered. But it was ofc just my suggestion, and i know Alblaka will make the final recipe balanced.
Still the support for other mods like the Railcraft crowbar, RP screwdriver and BC wrench would be nice, but i don't know how you modders do these cross compatibility things.

If it gets released, the api will most likely include a toolbox blacklist so modders can add which tools are permited or not in the toolbar.

Quote from Alblaka

Simpler then a blacklist, it will contain a plain interface consisting of a single boolean method. Items implementing said method can define true or false in the regard of being storeable.

Would it be possible for server admins to list what cannot be carried as well? So no hiding that or stolen items?

Also, regarding the dump-inv function someone stated earlier, would it be possible to use said machine to store a reactor setup for instant filling?

Naming them might be a pain... so how about painting them?
Either with a particular dye as part of the recipe (perhaps easiest) or with the paint roller or something.

]How possible would it be to make a toolbox that would instantly change equiped armor? Or heck equipping a Lappack by rightclicking with it for example? I always wanted something like that.

I am 110% in favor of this. Right-clicking items to equip them should be in vanilla Minecraft.

Edit: In regards to having additional space, I haven't really found any sort of 'backpack' style mod that I like. Each one I've seen requires a right-click while on the hotbar to open, causing difficulty when trying to search for one specific item while under fire. In addition, one has to consider that the more inventory space they have, the more one can lose after a lava swim.
