Disable Hotbar Scrolling
by TechPro424
Disable Hotbar Scrolling stops the mouse wheel from switching hotbar slots in Minecraft, for players who scroll for other reasons.
What it does
Scrolling the mouse wheel no longer changes the selected hotbar slot while the mod is installed. Builds cover 1.8.9 and 1.19.2 – 26.3, with the 1.8.9 build running on Legacy Fabric and the 1.20 build supporting 1.19.2 and 1.20. Fabric API is required on the loader. The code is under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and is open source, and the mod runs on the client alone.
Key features
Hotbar scroll disabled
The mouse wheel stops changing the selected hotbar slot, so scrolling leaves the held item unchanged.
Separate builds per version
A 1.8.9 build targets Legacy Fabric, while later builds cover the 1.19.2 – 26.3 releases listed on the files page.
