How do most games get this custom inventory?

I’ve recently noticed a lot of popular games have a custom inventory that is more rounded & clean
like this for example:

and I was wondering how do they achieve it?
It looks like they use some type of global plugin/model for it because a lot of games have similar design and I doubt that they do it the typical way of disabling in coregui the inventory and making a custom one,

would appreciate any answers!

Here’s the CoreGui backpack that I found online:

github.com

Roblox/Core-Scripts/blob/master/CoreScriptsRoot/Modules/BackpackScript.lua

-- Backpack Version 5.1
-- OnlyTwentyCharacters, SolarCrane

local BackpackScript = {}
BackpackScript.OpenClose = nil -- Function to toggle open/close
BackpackScript.IsOpen = false
BackpackScript.StateChanged = Instance.new('BindableEvent') -- Fires after any open/close, passes IsNowOpen

BackpackScript.ModuleName = "Backpack"
BackpackScript.KeepVRTopbarOpen = true
BackpackScript.VRIsExclusive = true
BackpackScript.VRClosesNonExclusive = true

local ICON_SIZE = 60
local FONT_SIZE = Enum.FontSize.Size14
local ICON_BUFFER = 5

local BACKGROUND_FADE = 0.50
local BACKGROUND_COLOR = Color3.new(31/255, 31/255, 31/255)

Though I don’t think it’s worth your time trying to use since unfortunately it uses a lot of Roblox exclusive modules and functions restricted to CoreGui only.

For games that have perfectly replicated Inventories that resemble CoreGui I’m really not sure since removing the CoreGui required functions would likely take more time than making your own backpack

would actually use this if there wasn’t a better solution, there’s a module called satchel and it looks a lot more optimized and easy to use than this, so ye I think I’m just going to use that
