Better Saved Hotbars Forked
by azyrod
Better Saved Hotbars Forked lets players store full hotbar layouts in saved tabs and recall them with a click, changing hotbar contents as needed.
What it does
Saved hotbars are kept in tabs inside the game, so a player can keep several item layouts ready at once. Left-clicking an empty slot stores the held item there, and left-clicking a filled slot takes that item or copies it onto the cursor, depending on what the player holds. Right-clicking a filled slot removes the item from the hotbar, and middle-clicking takes a full stack of the selected item. Individual items can be removed by right-clicking, and dragging items across the saved hotbars tab is also supported, with no middle-clicking needed.
The mod runs on the client only, so players can join a server without installing anything on the server side and servers need no additional setup. Fabric API is required. Files are published for Fabric, covering six release versions 1.21.11 – 26.3, and the code is under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which is open source. The source code and an issue tracker are available publicly. The original mod is by its author, azyrod, and this is a fork of that work.
Key features
Tabbed hotbar layouts
Saved hotbars are stored in tabs, so several item arrangements can be kept and switched between.
Item copy and swap
Clicking a filled slot copies or swaps its item with the one on the cursor, depending on what the player holds.
Full stack capture
Middle-clicking a slot takes the whole stack of the selected item, and the stored slot is overwritten or cleared as needed.
Quick removal
Individual items can be removed from a saved hotbar by right-clicking them, without clearing the whole tab.
