With Create: Hotbar Schematic Addon, a schematic can be used from any hotbar slot, not only from the main hand.

NeoForgeClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.1

What it does

The addon lets a Schematic item be rendered and used from any hotbar slot instead of only from the main hand, extending Create's schematic system. A preview overlay in the world shows the schematic held in a slot. Create is required. The addon targets NeoForge for 1.21.1 only, is released under the MIT License and is open source, with its source code public. Only the client needs it, so servers run without it.

Key features

Schematic from any hotbar slot
A Schematic item can be carried in any hotbar slot and rendered there, not only in the main hand.
Preview overlay in the world
A schematic held in a hotbar slot shows its preview overlay in the world, so placement can be checked before building.
Deploy menu limit
Opening the deploy menu for tools in Create still needs the schematic in the main hand, so that menu is unchanged.

Questions

Does Create: Hotbar Schematic Addon need Create?

Yes. Create is a required dependency and must be installed alongside the addon on NeoForge for 1.21.1.

Does the addon have to be installed on the server?

No. Players add it to their own game, and a server needs no copy.

Can the deploy menu be opened without holding the schematic in the main hand?

No. Opening that menu still needs the schematic in the main hand, as it does without the addon.

What the author says

Extends Create's schematic system to work from any hotbar slot instead of only the main hand. The schematic preview, overlay, and world render are all shown no matter which slot the schematic is in. The Interaction menu (deploying, rotating, tool menu) still requires holding the schematic in your main hand.
