The "Pouch" mod introduces a portable item-storage system, allowing players to temporarily stash and retrieve carried items. It adds an on-screen pouch HUD visible during gameplay and level transitions.

• Store the currently held item into your pouch
• Retrieve items from your pouch
  • Selectable mode
    • choose which slot you want to retrieve from
    • quick button presses behave like Last Inserted mode (on controllers only)
    • recommended for controllers
  • Last Inserted mode
    • retrieve the item that was inserted last (last-in, first-out)
    • recommended for keyboards
• Rotate pouch contents, moving the last item to the first slot
• All pouch items drop on the ground upon death
• Configurable options:
  • Pouch capacity (default: 2 slots; min: 1, max: 7)
  • Allow storing idols (default: false)
  • Allow storing pets (default: false)
  • Allow storing tamed mounts (default: false)
  • Allow storing dead monsters (default: true, includes pets and mounts)
  • Item retrieval mode (default: "Selectable"; other option: "Last Inserted"; per player)
  • Frame window for quick stores and retrieves (default: 10, min: 1, max 60)

• Online multiplayer support (compatibility untested; let me know if it works)
• Scalable pouch capacity via in-game items rather than a fixed maximum
• Modded item support (requires changes to the Custom Entities Library)

• Storing cursed pots
• Storing live monsters, NPCs, or other players

• Added
  • Selectable retrieve mode is now default
  • Configuration option for the time window for short presses
  • On controllers: Selectable retrieve mode now acts like Last Inserted mode on short button presses
  • Selectable mode: menu won't open while the player is jumping, falling, flying or gliding to preved accidental falls
  • An error sound is no longer played when attempting to retrieve from an empty pouch
• Fixed
  • Pouches worked while in the camp which was not inteded
  • Error messages due to internal bugs

• Added
  • Controllers now use a different input scheme, see description for more details
• Fixed
  • Player corpses held onto equipped capes or packs
  • Players would retain capes or packs between deaths in the same run
  • Retrieving items while lying down would make the player hold two items at once (one of which would be bugged) if they had a cape or pack equipped
  • In multiplayer, the slots HUD would shift to the left if not all players were alive when entering a new stage

• Added
  • Storing an item when while the pouch is full will swap the held item with the first item currently stored
  • Shop items can be stored
  • When unequipping a cape or pack the item will be placed into the players hand (so that they can store it if they want to)
• Fixed
  • Items behaved weirdly when stored and retrieved between layers

• Fixed
  • Functionality didn't work for players who died and respawned

• Added
  • Total internal rework and cleanup
  • Player corpses cannot be stored
  • When retrieving, highlight the slots above the player character
  • Guard against invalid user options (e.g. setting the capacity to something greater than the maximum allowed)
• Fixed
  • Screen shaking when storing a container (e.g. crate) that contains bombs
  • When using "Selectable" retrieval, trying to select the previous slot would select the next slot

• Added
  • "Selectable" retrieve method: choose the slot you want to retrieve from
  • Sound effect when a pouch action is impossible (e.g., retrieving when empty, storing when full)
• Fixed
  • Crash caused by accidental retrieval prevention check

• Added
  • Separate climbing inputs for better gameplay flow. Use LEFT/RIGHT instead of UP/DOWN when climbing to prevent movement.
  • Item rotation: shift the last item to the first slot (see Input Map)
• Fixed
  • Accidental retrieval when passing through doors
  • Mole corpses falling through floors after retrieval
  • Monsters appearing behind the player after retrieval

• Added
  • Core pouch system: store/retrieve with UP + DOOR
  • Death behavior: items drop from pouch
  • Configuration options for capacity and allowed items
  • UI: slot grid overlay and transition panel
• Fixed
  • Accidental retrieval when passing through level exit doors

I welcome feedback, feature requests, and bug reports! If you play on keyboard and have a proposal to map the inputs to different keys, please give a suggestion in the comments!
