FarScrollStopper
FarScrollStopper is a Fabric client-side tweak that stops a single mouse-wheel scroll from advancing the hotbar more than once.
What it does
Fast or sensitive mouse wheels can register a single notch as two slots, so an item a player wanted gets overshot. FarScrollStopper adds a small patch to the hotbar scrolling code that prevents this double step, which gives a more precise selection without changing how the rest of the game handles input.
The patch is built on Mixin and is described as lightweight, touching only the scroll behavior it targets. Fabric API is required, and the mod declares no other external dependencies. It is a client-side option: a player who installs it on Fabric gets the change, and a server can run without it. The mod is published for Fabric only, for game versions 1.14 – 26.1, and was tested on 1.21.10. The latest Fabric file is 1.1.0 for 26.1, released 2026-02-05. The code is all rights reserved and is not open source, though a public issue tracker is available.
Key features
Single-step hotbar scrolling
One wheel notch moves the hotbar selection by one slot, even when the mouse reports rapid input.
Small Mixin patch
The change is applied through a narrow Mixin patch, so other scrolling behavior in the game is left as it is.
No new configuration
The mod adds no settings screen or keybinds; it applies its fix once it is installed.
Standalone install
The mod is dropped into the mods folder beside Fabric API, with no other mods needed.

Use cases
Sensitive mouse wheels
Players with high-resolution or fast-spinning wheels who keep overshooting hotbar items can use the fix for more controlled selection.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who scroll the hotbar with a mouse wheel and find that one notch skips past the slot they wanted.
