At the start of the game, the player has access to only the twelve slots on the upper row of the inventory, commonly called the "hotbar." Extra slots can be added to inventory by purchasing backpack upgrades at [[Pierre's General Store]]. These extra slots do not grant the same access, but simply add to the number of items that can travel with the player.
To gain immediate access, items must be moved from the lower row(s) into the upper row. This function is available from the pause menu (press {{Key|ESCAPE}} or {{Key|E}}), leftmost tab, sometimes called the '''inventory menu'''. This menu displays the entire contents of the backpack and gives the player the means to move items around inside or to split or combine stacks. To split a stackof items using mouse & keyboard, {{key|Rightright-Click}} click on it. To divide the stack, {{key|Shift}} + {{key|Rightright-Click}} click on it. ''(See also: [[Controls]], [[Mobile Controls]].)''
In singleplayer, opening the inventory menu pauses the clock. The player can also {{key|Left-Click}} select an item on one slot of the top rowby pressing the number key associated with that slot, and that slot will remain selected after closing the inventory menu.
Certain game activities give the player access to the entire inventory while they are in operation. These include interacting with an open chest or a shop menu, or donating items at the [[Community Center]] or [[Museum]]. Controls change somewhat during these activities. Moving items within the inventory is often restricted, and a mouse click on an inventory item can sell it to a shopkeeper (with no undo), so careful control is required for guaranteeing one's intended actions.
