Hotbar Chaos
by Atomics
Hotbar Chaos is a Fabric minigame that scrambles the hotbar on the client, so a player's items move to random slots.
What it does
Pressing R opens the inventory and shuffles the hotbar slots over nine ticks, then closes it again. Pressing K restores the original controls. The mod is client-side only, so a server does not need it and players can join without installing it. Its one build targets 1.21.11 and is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Randomized hotbar
Pressing R moves the items in the hotbar into random slots, making the player's layout unpredictable.
Inventory shuffle
The shuffle runs while the inventory is open and finishes over nine ticks before the screen closes.
Restore controls
Pressing K again puts the original hotbar controls back in place.
