HotBaaaar
by USS-Shenzhou
HotBaaaar changes how the hotbar scrolls, with step sizes that depend on the keys held and on the window's GUI scale.
What it does
The hotbar widens automatically to suit the screen width and the current GUI scale, so the slot count adapts to the window. Holding Shift while scrolling makes each step larger, and the size of that step depends on how many slots the bar currently has. Holding Ctrl while scrolling jumps in 9-slot steps. The mod is published for Fabric and NeoForge, for 1.20.4 – 26.1.1, and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. Client and server both need it.

Shift-scroll steps
Holding Shift while scrolling moves through the hotbar in larger steps, sized to the current bar amount.
Ctrl-scroll nine-slot jumps
Holding Ctrl while scrolling advances the selection in 9-slot steps.
