HotbarAPI Compatibility
by Sygikal
HotbarAPI Compatibility is a Fabric patch set that lets HotbarAPI work alongside Appleskin, Tough Nails and Artifacts, and it requires HotbarAPI to run.
What it does
Players who run HotbarAPI next to Appleskin, Tough Nails or Artifacts can see those mods' indicators and hotbar entries together. The patches sit between HotbarAPI and each supported mod, so the other mods keep their own behavior while the hotbar handles their output. Each supported mod needs its own patch, and this package supplies them for the versions it covers.
HotbarAPI is a required dependency, so it must be installed alongside this package. The package is published for Fabric only, across two release versions, 1.20.1 and 1.21.6, with 1.1.0-1.21.6 for 1.21.6 as the latest file. The client needs it, while the server may add it for extra features and does not require it. Released under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
