Extra Hotbar

by potatotyper

Extra Hotbar gives Fabric players a second, swappable row of hotbar slots, with a swap key that can be held, tapped or double-tapped.

What it does

Extra Hotbar is a client-side Fabric mod that adds dual-hotbar swapping and compact information overlays on the HUD. A configurable secondary inventory row can be swapped with the visible hotbar, either as a full row or one slot at a time. The mod runs only on the client, so a server does not need it and players join without installing it. Builds are published for Fabric on 26.1.1 and 26.1.2, released under the MIT License, and the project is not open source.

Swap behavior depends on how the key is pressed. Holding and tapping the swap key trigger different actions, and each action can be configured. Double-tapping a number key from 1 to 9 swaps only that slot. Slot locking keeps selected slots from being changed by a swap, and the Minecraft controls used by the mod can be rebound in the settings.

Key features

  1. Dual hotbar swap

    The visible hotbar swaps with a configurable secondary inventory row, moving whole rows at once.

  2. Single-slot swap

    A swap can move one slot instead of the full row when only part of the hotbar should change.

  3. Hold and tap actions

    The swap key performs one action on a tap and a different one when held, and both are configurable.

  4. Double-tap number keys

    Double-tapping keys 1 through 9 swaps only the matching slot, without touching the rest of the row.

  5. Slot lock and rebinding

    Slots can be locked against swapping, and the mod's controls can be rebound through the Minecraft settings.

Use cases

Keeping tools close

A player can store tools or blocks in the secondary row and bring them onto the hotbar with a single key press.

Protecting key items

Locked slots stay in place during swaps, so frequently used items are not moved by accident.

Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who want a larger set of quick-access slots during play. Because the mod is client-side only, it can be used in single-player and on multiplayer servers without server-side installation.
