- The inventory can be searched for specific items: just start typing while in the inventory screen. The search results are displayed in the "Search Items" tab.
- The player's Survival mode inventory is accessible via a tab with the chest as its icon.
- Brewed potions are not included in their own category.
- To close the new inventory window, the player must press 'Esc' or 'Escape'. Using the default inventory key does not currently work.
