Hotbar Swap Mod
by LubRex_BG
With Hotbar Swap Mod, a player can exchange hotbar items in place while the inventory stays closed.
What it does
The mod moves items between hotbar slots directly, without opening the inventory screen. A scroll-down action on the mouse wheel swaps the item in slot 9 with the hotbar, and a scroll-up action swaps slot 1 with the previous one. The author describes its use in content creation and PvP, where quicker swaps are the goal.
Key features
Swap without the inventory
Hotbar items change places directly, so the inventory screen does not have to open for each swap.
Mouse wheel controls
Scrolling down swaps slot 9 with the hotbar, and scrolling up swaps slot 1 with the previous slot.
Content creation and PvP
The author built the swaps for recording videos and for fast item changes during PvP fights.
