Gear Swapper
by McJty
Gear Swapper lets a player save up to four sets of hotbar and armor and switch between them with a single block.
What it does
A Gear Swapper block stores hotbar and armor layouts that a player defines in its configuration screen. Each of the four configurations can cover different slots: some slots are assigned to a set, others are cleared, and the remaining slots are left alone. Switching to a configuration moves the stored items into place, so a player can change between mining gear, gardening tools and combat kit without rearranging the inventory by hand.
When gear is removed from the hotbar or armor slots, the mod first tries to put it back into the player's main inventory. If that is full, it tries the adjacent inventory, and if neither has room the items are dropped into the world, so nothing is lost. Bauble inventory slots are supported as well. The mod runs on client and server, so a server and every player need it, and it depends on McJtyLib. Builds exist for 1.7.10 – 1.12.2, and the latest Forge file is 1.12-1.7.0 for 1.12.2, published on 2023-01-26. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Four gear configurations
Up to four hotbar and armor sets can be defined, and each one is switched to through the block.
Per-slot configuration
Individual slots can be assigned to a set, cleared, or left untouched, so a set does not have to fill the whole inventory.
Priority icons
Three icons in the configuration screen set where removed gear is stored first: the inventory, the adjacent inventory, or the armor slots.
Bauble support
Gear placed in Bauble inventory slots is handled along with the hotbar and armor.
