Builder's Inventory
Builder's Inventory adds a set of inventory tools aimed at creative players, including a hotbar row swap and an extended inventory, configured through a settings screen.
What it does
Pressing a number key from 1 to 9 while hovering over an inventory slot swaps the hotbar row with the chosen inventory row, and a mouse 5 forwards side button swaps a full row. A single slot column can also be exchanged with the hotbar, which helps when building with stacks spread across the inventory. An extended inventory screen gives players more storage space.
The mod is intended for creative mode and carries a note from its author: the hotbar swapper may be classified as cheating by some anti-cheat systems, so server owners with strict rules should check them before allowing it. A config screen lets players change swap hotkeys and disable the extended inventory. The mod runs on the client alone, and it has to be installed on the client side, not the server.
The mod requires Fabric API and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL). Builder's Inventory is open source under the MIT License, with files for 1.20.4 – 26.3 on Fabric and NeoForge. Its latest Fabric file targets 26.3, and the NeoForge builds are still alpha.
