HapticHotbar
by EthanRDoesMC
Using a Mac trackpad, HapticHotbar sends a small haptic pulse each time the selected hotbar slot changes, to make scrolling feel less clunky.
What it does
The mod plays haptic feedback on Force Touch trackpads on Mac when the selected hotbar slot is switched. It is meant for trackpad users who want the feel of a tactile input method closer to a physical scroll wheel. Players using a regular mouse with a Magic Trackpad may see the haptics fire as expected, since the trackpad keeps producing them. A known issue exists in detecting trackpad input, and the mod runs on the client alone. Fabric API is required.
