The inventory opens as a console of three columns under a tab bar.
This page walks through each part, the player settings and every shortcut.

## The tabs

| Tab | What it shows |
| --- | --- |
| **INVENTORY** | The three columns below |
| **CLOTHING** | The wardrobe list of worn pieces, your status and outfit actions |
| **ADMIN PANEL** | Staff only. See [Admin panel](/inventory/admin/admin-panel) |
| **SETTINGS** | Player settings, saved per player |
| **USEFUL CONTROLS** | Every mouse and keyboard shortcut |

**ESC** at the top right closes the console.

## The three columns

### Your inventory

The left column holds the weight bar, a search field, the grid and the pockets.
The counter in the header shows used and available slots.

:::frame{caption="Your inventory: weight bar, grid, locked backpack slots and pockets"}
![Your inventory](/media/inventory/player-inventory.webp)
:::

Every slot shows the amount, the weight and a coloured stripe for the item's [rarity](/inventory/features/items-and-rarity).
Hover a slot for the tooltip: metadata, serial number, durability, armour plates and the contents of a mini stash.

### Your clothes

The middle column shows what you wear, in two stacks around your character.
The camera frames your character into this column.
Health, armour, hunger and thirst sit underneath.

:::frame{caption="Your clothes: head and body on the left, bag, vest, legs and accessories on the right"}

:::

See [Clothing](/inventory/features/clothing) for how dressing works.

### Other inventory

The right column shows whatever you opened: the ground, a player, a stash, a trunk, a glovebox, a shop or a crafting bench.
**FAST ACTIONS** at the bottom are buttons for **Give**, **Drop**, **Trade**, hands up, undress and the hanger, plus the **COUNT** field.

:::frame{caption="Ground inventory with the fast actions"}

:::

:::hint{type="info" title="COUNT"}
**COUNT** is the amount used when you drag, give, drop, buy or craft.
Leave it empty to move the whole stack.

## Context menu

Right-click a slot for the context menu:
use, give, drop, attachments, copy serial, rename, change description, throw, trade, open container, and insert or remove a plate.
Admins can switch actions such as renaming off for the whole server.

## Player settings

Each player tunes the console on the **SETTINGS** tab.
The settings are stored on the player's own client, so they survive restarts and never touch the database.
