The BetterBeltsB42 mod is currently a work in progress (WIP). To craft a buckle, you need to use a knife on a belt. This buckle allows you to create FrontBeltHookR and FrontBeltHookL slots, which serve as additional spaces for attaching items.

If you have a CD player, a first aid kit (vanilla), an advanced first aid kit, a food carrier, a toolbox, or a protective case in your inventory, you can create versions of these items that are compatible with the buckle to hang them in the mentioned slots. However, the walkie-talkie can be placed directly into the slots without needing a buckle.

That said, water bottles cannot be attached to the FrontBeltHookR and FrontBeltHookL slots, nor is it possible to add a buckle to a water bottle.

I was wondering if this could be addressed in version 42, allowing water bottles to be attached. Additionally, would it be possible to add an option to hook large flashlights alongside a belt hook for more convenient carrying?

I appreciate any information or updates on these potential improvements. Thanks!
