HotterBar
by TPO
HotterBar extends the hotbar into a single row of 36 slots on the HUD, so players scroll through the full inventory without opening it.
What it does
Opening the inventory to swap tools or blocks pauses play and adds menu steps. HotterBar places the full inventory into a right-side HUD strip that scrolls like one long hotbar, letting a player reach any stack while walking, mining or building. The inventory screen itself stays exactly the same, so item positions and sorting are unchanged.
The mod runs client-side only: the client needs it, and a server can run without it while players still use it. Files are published for Fabric only, and the current build, 0.1.0, targets 26.2 alone. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
36-slot scrolling bar
The hotbar extends to 36 slots on the right side of the screen, scrolled as one continuous row.
Inventory stays unchanged
Items keep their places in the normal inventory screen, so nothing moves when the extra bar is in use.
Fewer menu pauses
Reaching a stack no longer requires opening the inventory, which cuts the pauses during mining, building and exploring.
Keyboard and scroll access
Stacks are reached with the scroll wheel or the hotbar keys, so the same input covers the whole strip.

Use cases
Building with many block types
Builders keeping several block types in reach can switch between them without opening the inventory.
Long mining trips
Miners carrying tools, food and torches can reach each one while staying on the move.
Who it’s for: Players who carry many items during survival, building and exploration, and who want quicker access without the inventory screen.
