Infinite Saved Hotbars
by IdealMatrix
Infinite Saved Hotbars removes the row limit on the Creative Saved Hotbars tab, so the saved hotbar space keeps growing as items are placed.
What it does
Infinite Saved Hotbars adds extra rows to the saved hotbars tab without a fixed cap. When an item is placed into the last row, a new row appears below it, so storage is endless for practical purposes. The change is limited to the Creative saved hotbars screen, so survival play and the rest of the interface stay as they are.
Item clicking inside a slot is extended in two ways: clicking a slot while holding an item places it there, and holding Ctrl overrides the default click behavior, including clicking an empty slot while holding Ctrl. The saved data is stored in the .minecraft/hotbar folder in a file named extended.nbt, which keeps the extra rows separate from the vanilla hotbar files.
The mod runs only on the client, so players install it alone and servers do not need it. It is published for Fabric alone, with a single version range of 1.21 – 26.3, and the latest file, 1.3.0, targets 26.3. The code is open source under the MIT License, and source code and an issue tracker are linked from the project.
