FastClick
by 3awtrag
FastClick lets a player bind the number keys 1–9 to a custom sequence of hotbar slots, so one key press steps through them in order.
What it does
Each key can be assigned a slot sequence such as 6, 7, 2. Every press of the bound key moves the selection to the next slot in that sequence, and after the last slot it starts again from the first. The sequence is set through an in-game menu that opens with a click of Right Shift, where the player picks a key and types the slots to cycle through.
Installed only on the player's client, the Fabric build for Minecraft 1.21.8 leaves the server untouched and needs nothing from it. Several binds can exist at once, and the configuration is saved automatically between sessions. The author asks players to check a server's rules before using any client-side mod, since the menu key changes the default Minecraft controls.
The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. It has no dependencies other than Fabric itself, and its files are published for one game version, 1.21.8, with 1.0.0 as the latest file dated 2026-05-25.
Key features
Custom slot sequences
A bound key cycles through any chosen order of hotbar slots 1–9, such as 6, 7, 2, instead of moving one slot at a time.
Multiple binds
Several keys can each carry their own slot sequence, so different tasks can use different cycles at the same time.
Menu on Right Shift
A configuration menu opens with a click of Right Shift, where sequences are assigned and edited without leaving the game.
Automatic saving
The configuration is written to disk without a manual save step, so the binds are present again the next time the game starts.
Compatibility

Who it’s for: Players of Minecraft 1.21.8 who use Fabric and want to change the hotbar selection with a repeating key sequence. Players on multiplayer servers should first confirm the server allows client-side mods.
