Hotbar Presets
by Redstonekey
Hotbar Presets lets players save their hotbar layouts as named presets, load them later and bind hotkeys to each one through a small in-game menu.
What it does
Players open the menu with the O key by default and can create, rename, delete and apply hotbar presets from one screen. A preset stores the contents of the nine hotbar slots, so a player can switch between a building loadout, a mining loadout and a combat loadout without rearranging items by hand. Presets are saved locally on the player's own installation.
The mod is a small Fabric client mod, and it was previously published as InvSorter. Only the client needs it, so servers run without it and players can use it in single-player or on any server they join. Files are published for Fabric alone, with builds covering 1.17 – 26.1.2 and 1.0 for 26.1.2 as the latest file. Fabric API is required, and the mod is released under the Apache License 2.0 as open source.
Key features
Named hotbar presets
Each preset is saved under a name the player chooses, and any preset can be loaded at any time from the menu.
Hotkey triggers
A preset can be assigned a hotkey so it loads with a single key press, without opening the menu.
Local saving
Presets are written to disk on the player's machine, so they stay available between game sessions.
Minimal interface
The GUI is a simple screen for creating, managing and applying presets, with no extra panels or overlays.

Use cases
Switching tool sets
A player who builds in one area and mines in another can load the matching hotbar in a single action.
Creative and survival loadouts
Presets can keep a creative building kit and a survival kit apart, so each mode starts with the right items in reach.
Who it’s for: Players who switch between several item sets during play and want to recall them without moving items by hand. Because it runs only on the client, it can be used in single-player worlds and on servers that do not install it.
