What is Utility vest?
Same as in the All the Mods 10 5.5 guide
Utility vest is included in this pack as version 1.1.1, so that's the build you'll be playing with.[1]
Unverified The available sources don't describe what Utility vest adds, how it works, who it's aimed at, or where it fits in the pack's progression. This overview will be expanded once that can be confirmed.
How do you get started with Utility vest?
3 parts
The Utility Vest line is a ladder of vests, and you climb it one rung at a time. In this pack every vest comes from the mod's own recipes, so your first job is simple: make the bottom vest, then upgrade it as you go.[2]
Step 1: Make the Leather Utility Vest
Everything starts with the Leather Utility Vest. It is the only vest in the line made in a normal crafting grid, and every other vest is an upgrade of the one below it. Here is the exact in-pack recipe:[2]
Crafting Shaped
| any leather | Empty slot | any leather |
| any leather | any chest | any leather |
| any leather | any leather | any leather |
Recipe id: utilityvest:leather_utility_vest
The starting point for the whole line.
Step 2: Upgrade up the tiers
After the leather vest, each tier uses an upgrade recipe instead of a fresh craft: you combine the vest you already have with the next material. The order is iron, then gold, then diamond, then netherite.[2]

Learning the controls
Once you have a vest, read its tooltip. The mod's own text describes these features, and the keys live in the Utility Vest category of your controls screen:[3]
- The tooltip says to press the Open Gui key to open the inventory menu.[3]
- Press Sneak plus the same key to open the filter menu.[3]
- Restock inserts items that match your filters into the vest's inventory.[3]
- You set filters with a key plus a number key, and load them the same way. There are also Save and Load keys, and the chat shows messages like "Saved Hotbar" and "Loaded Hotbar".[3]
- Hold the Open Radial Menu key plus a number key to open the quick-select menu.[3]
How does Utility vest work?
2 parts
Utility vests are vest items with their own inventory, item filters and a restock action. The sources only describe the vests, their controls and their crafting. There are no machines, multiblocks, power or fluid systems to cover here.[2][3]
The tiers
The tiers are the Leather Utility Vest, Iron Utility Vest, Gold Utility Vest, Diamond Utility Vest and Netherite Utility Vest. You craft the leather vest from scratch, and every higher tier is an upgrade of the vest one step below it, so you can't skip a tier.[2][3]
Crafting Shaped
| any leather | Empty slot | any leather |
| any leather | any chest | any leather |
| any leather | any leather | any leather |
Recipe id: utilityvest:leather_utility_vest
The starting point: a normal shaped crafting recipe.

Using the vest
The mod adds its own group of controls called Utility Vest. It has these bindings: Open Gui, Open Radial Menu, Save, Load and Restock. The vest tooltips tell you which key is currently bound to each action.[3]
- Inventory menu: press the Open Gui key to open the vest's inventory. The screens are titled Utility Vest and Tool Vest.[3]
- Filters: press Sneak plus the Open Gui key to open the filter menu. It is titled Filters.[3]
- Restock: the tooltip says this inserts items matching your filters into the vest's inventory. You get the chat message "Restocked vest inventory" when it happens.[3]
- Hotbar presets: you set filters with the Save key plus a number key, and load them with the Load key plus a number key. The chat messages "Saved Hotbar" and "Loaded Hotbar" confirm each action.[3]
- Quick-select: hold the radial menu key plus a number key to open the quick-select menu.[3]
Inside the vest menu, the tooltips mention a key to cycle between hotbars. There is also a key to insert an item into the vest inventory.[3]
How do you progress through Utility vest?
2 parts
Same as in the All the Mods 10 5.5 guide
The Utility Vest comes in five tiers, and they form one straight upgrade chain. You start with the Leather Utility Vest and work your way up through Iron Utility Vest, Gold Utility Vest, Diamond Utility Vest and finally Netherite Utility Vest.[4]
Getting your first vest
The Leather Utility Vest is the only tier you craft from scratch. It uses a normal shaped crafting recipe, so you can make it early in the game.[4]
Crafting Shaped
| any leather | Empty slot | any leather |
| any leather | any chest | any leather |
| any leather | any leather | any leather |
Recipe id: utilityvest:leather_utility_vest
The starting tier, made in a regular crafting grid.
Upgrading through the tiers
Every tier after leather is an upgrade recipe, not a fresh craft. Each one takes the vest from the tier below, so you can't skip a step. To get a Netherite vest, you have to go through all four earlier tiers first.[4]
- Craft a Leather Utility Vest.[4]
- Upgrade it into an Iron Utility Vest.[4]
- Upgrade the Iron vest into a Gold Utility Vest.[4]
- Upgrade the Gold vest into a Diamond Utility Vest.[4]
- Upgrade the Diamond vest into a Netherite Utility Vest.[4]

The upgrade recipes accept tagged materials, so any matching ingot or gem from other mods in the pack should work, not just the vanilla versions.[4]
Unverified The available sources don't say what each tier improves, such as extra storage or protection. They also don't say whether items stored in a vest are kept when you upgrade it. Empty your vest before upgrading if you want to be safe.
