Inventory
The 
Inventory holds almost every item that the player currently owns.
Items that do not show in the regular Inventory include:
- Tools: All tools (like the
Flippers and 
Camera) are only seen in the 
Tools selection screen. - Seeds: Both
Seeds and 
Seed Packets only show in the 
Composter and the 
Planting menu (in a compatible biome). - Recipes:
Recipes only appear in the inventory in 
Multiplayer mode. Normally, players must go to their 
recipe collections to see which recipes they have. - Crafting Plans:
Crafting Plans do not appear in the inventory. They only appear in the 
Crafting Bench's crafting menu. - Instructions: Instructions do not appear in the inventory. They only appear in the
Creation Station's crafting menu. - Hello Kitty Collectible Cards:
Hello Kitty Collectible Cards do not appear in the inventory. They only appear in the events collections.
Basics
The Inventory has no caps on the maximum amounts of almost all items.
The only items with a set maximum are 
Friendship Bouquets, 
Friendship Blossoms, and 
Island Bouquets, which have a limit of 3x before 
My Melody stops giving them as 
Daily Rewards (more than 3x of each can be obtained if the items are obtained in other ways, but My Melody only distributes them if the player has less than 3x).
The Inventory does not track items stored in 
Visitor Cabins. Some players may use Visitor Cabins to store unwanted items as there is no way to permanently remove many items (not every item can be recycled to the 
Recycling Plant).
All Inventory items have the 
Emote option under them when selected. This momentarily displays the item in a thought bubble over the player's head. It is meant to be a way to communicate in Multiplayer.
Tabs, Sorting, and Filters
Currently, there are 10 different tabs in the Inventory, where items are split up by type. The different tabs can be navigated to the 
left and 
right by pressing the corresponding direction arrows or the tab's icon with touch controls.
The different tabs are the Toolbox, general Items, Food, Flowers, Critters, Fish, Clothes, Furniture, Comic Books, Music Discs, and Wands (
).
All tabs can be sorted using the 
Sort By button under the list of items in that tab. The possible options are the default sort order, rarity, and quantity (sometimes default is not an option ― usually because sort by rarity is the same as the default for that tab).
Many (but not all) sections can also be filtered for specific kinds of items, and the filters available are different for each tab. Filter options can be brought up by selecting the 
Filter button under the list of items in that tab.
Possible sort options: Default, Rarity, Quantity
Toolbox
The 
Toolbox contains important items such as event currencies, 
quest items, 
Character Gift Boxes, 
potions, and more.
When a Character Box is selected, the 
Open option shows under the item information on the right. Selecting it will give the option to open only one box or all of that type.
When a potion is selected, the 
Consume option shows under the item information on the right. Selecting it consumes 1x potion, temporarily granting a beneficial effect. The option does not appear if the player has a companion with an ability that provides the same effect.
