Trash Can Slot

The Trash Can Slot is a special slot in the player's Inventory meant to discard unwanted Items. Items are not discarded right away, but are recoverable until another item is placed there.

Alternatively, you could sell unwanted items to an NPC, or throw them to the ground by taking them and clicking outside of your inventory. This way, however, you (or someone else in multiplayer) could accidentally pick them up again.

Tips

 * This can be used as an extra inventory slot in an emergency.
 * Items placed in this slot are discarded when you exit the game or disconnect from a multiplayer server.
