Extended Hotbar Updated (Unofficial)
Extended Hotbar Updated (Unofficial) makes the hotbar longer and scrollable, so players can carry more items within reach on Fabric.
What it does
Rendering changes in the newer game versions made the older fork hard to keep current, so this build covers 1.21.4 and 1.21.11 with a separate version for each. The mod is a fork of Extended Hotbar, originally made by DenWav and unilock, and the author merged a 1.21.4 fork into their own repository that was never uploaded to Modrinth. The unofficial release is published for Fabric only and runs on the client alone, so servers need nothing installed.
Players who keep many tools or blocks in reach can switch between a top bar and a bottom bar, or show the second row alongside the first. The hotbar can be swapped with the player's inventory rows through configurable hotkeys. The mod requires ModMenu for its extra configuration page, where the feature set can be adjusted. The custom license is not open source, though source code and an issue tracker are linked publicly. Latest file: 3.3.0 for 1.21.11, released 2026-08-10.
Key features
Scrollable longer hotbar
The hotbar grows beyond nine slots and scrolls, so more items stay available without leaving the game view.
Double-wide hotbar
A second hotbar is drawn beside the first instead of above it, giving a wider strip of slots.
Swap rows with R
Pressing R exchanges the top and bottom bars, while Shift-R swaps only the items in hand.
Transparent scrolling
Manual swapping can be turned off, so the scroll wheel moves along the hotbar without a key press.
