Column-Quick-Swap
by Yarden-zamir
Column-Quick-Swap lets a player move items between a hotbar slot and the three inventory slots stacked directly above it, from a popup opened with a key.
What it does
Holding the V key over a hotbar slot opens a popup that shows the three inventory slots above that slot. Releasing V or pressing a slot number confirms the swap, so items can be exchanged between the hotbar and the column above without opening the full inventory screen. Pressing the number keys 1, 2 and 3 picks the top, middle or bottom slot of the column.
The mod is a Forge mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, with files for six release versions in that range and 0.2.3 for 1.20.1 as the latest file, published on 2026-01-29. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Column swap from the hotbar
Items move between a hotbar slot and the three inventory slots directly above it.
Hold V to open the popup
Holding V over a hotbar slot shows the column of inventory slots for that position.
Confirm by releasing V
Releasing V completes the chosen swap, so the action takes one key press and one release.
Number keys choose the slot
Keys 1, 2 and 3 select the top, middle or bottom inventory slot in the popup.
Hotbar picker while open
The hotbar selection changes while the popup is open, so the target column can be chosen first.
