DualHotbar Reworked
by ferrys
DualHotbar Reworked lets a player keep several inventory rows working as hotbars at the same time, selected from the keyboard or the mouse wheel.
What it does
Multiple inventory rows can act as hotbars at once. Items in the top row of the inventory are taken over as slots, and the extra hotbars run downward from there, so more items stay within one key press. Selection works in three ways: the mouse wheel cycles through items, a double tap on a number key cycles the same slot across the hotbars, and holding a configurable modifier key, Ctrl by default, targets a particular slot number.
The mod is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and its source code and issue tracker are public. It has no dependencies beyond Forge and is available for 1.12.2 only. Client and server both need it, so players and the server run the same build. Version 3.2.0, the latest Forge file, was released on 2026-04-01, after the first release on 2026-03-25.
Key features
Several hotbars at once
More than one inventory row can work as a hotbar at the same time, extending the slots reachable from the keyboard.
Mouse wheel cycling
The scroll wheel moves through items in the active hotbars, so the selection does not depend on number keys alone.
Double tap slot cycling
Tapping a number key twice cycles through the matching slot on each hotbar, giving quick access to items stored in the same position.
Modifier key slot selection
Holding a configurable modifier key, Ctrl by default, lets the number keys pick a slot on the chosen row, and a mode swaps full hotbar rows.
Offhand and spectator fixes
Rendering of offhand items and widget slots is corrected, and the hotbar is no longer drawn in spectator mode.
Creative pick block fixes
Duplicated ghost items and misplaced items that appeared when picking blocks in creative mode are fixed in version 3.2.0.

How it compares
Keep Equipment is a server-side only mod for Forge 1.12.2, under All rights reserved and not open source, so it does not change the hotbar on the client. More Offhand Slots is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, runs as client and server on Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.11, and adds offhand slots instead of hotbar rows. InvConfig is open source under the MIT License and runs as client and server on Forge for 1.20.1 only.
