Technical details
- InventoryPlus uses UI navigation and the Old Input System, that is used just to trigger inventory events (for example: press N -> swap, press M -> sort etc..). If needed it can be very easily converted to the New Input System
- InventoryPlus uses TextMeshPro to render its texts but the package is not mandatory, the asset can be used with the native Unity Text
