BiggerHotbar
BiggerHotbar gives players nine extra hotbar slots by using the bottom row of the inventory as a second, virtual hotbar.
What it does
The mod extends the vanilla hotbar on the client. Scrolling into the added slots swaps items in the display only, so the inventory itself is left as it was. The mod remembers where each item sits, so players do not need to worry about items ending up in the wrong place after a swap.
BiggerHotbar is a client-side mod with no server component, so only the player's own game needs it. It requires Fabric API. Files are published for Fabric alone, with 10 release versions covering 1.21.7 – 26.3; the latest file, 1.13, targets 26.3. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Nine extra slots
The bottom row of the inventory works as nine more hotbar slots, reachable with the scroll wheel.
Visual item swapping
Items in the virtual hotbar are swapped on screen, so the selected item appears in hand as if taken from the regular hotbar.
Saved item positions
The mod keeps track of item positions, so inventory order is not disturbed when the extra slots are used.

What the author says
This mod allows you to use the bottom row of your inventory as 9 extra hotbar slots. You can scroll seamlessly into your virtual second hotbar, your items are automatically swapped, but visually nothing changes. It looks just like you're directly using the items from your inventory in your hotbar.
