Trading with more room to see your items

Trading asks you to pay attention to two things at once: the items you own and the exchange you are about to accept. In the September 14–15 development updates, we brought these views closer together and improved how they fit on smaller screens.

One familiar inventory

The trade interface now uses the existing inventory drawer instead of a separate item browser. Your hotbar, category filters and search stay part of the experience. The two offers sit alongside that inventory workflow, with four item slots on each side.

This matters when you have many different objects. You can find the item using the same organization you already know, choose the quantity and then review where it appears in the offer. Item frames, artwork fitting and quantity labels use the inventory’s visual style, so the trade feels like part of the same interface.

Making short screens usable

The first layout left too little space for inventory items during mobile trading. Stacked offer panels occupied the area between the drawer handle and the hotbar, so raising the drawer did not give you as much usable room as expected.

The follow-up keeps the handle directly above the health bar and hotbar. Offers become more compact on short displays. On sufficiently wide landscape screens, they sit beside the hotbar; narrower layouts keep them stacked. This is a change to how the available space is arranged, rather than a reduction in the items you can inspect.

Review the exchange, not just the check marks

Acceptance indicators remain visible, and Cancel has a consistent red treatment. Before accepting an exchange, read both offers and their quantities. If something is wrong, stop and correct it before continuing. A more compact layout should still leave the final decision clear.

The visual changes do not alter what a trade can transfer or the confirmation process. Our development checks exercised item selection, quantities, acceptance, cancellation and the final review, including a short landscape layout. Physical-device touch testing was not part of those particular checks.

These notes describe the September web development changes. Installed mobile app versions can differ until their corresponding update is released.
