Inventory swapping

by bikerboys

Inventory Swapping lets a player move items between the hotbar and the main inventory with a single key press, filling empty slots as it goes.

FabricForgeClient-side onlyMIT License1.20 – 1.21.4

What it does

Pressing a key moves the selected hotbar slot into the main inventory, and a second key moves the entire hotbar at once. The mod is aimed at players who want a tidier hotbar without dragging items out by hand. It runs on the client alone, so servers need nothing installed. Builds are published for Fabric and Forge across 12 release versions, 1.20 – 1.21.4, and the code is under the MIT License, though the project is not open source.

Key features

  1. Single-slot swap

    One key sends the currently selected hotbar slot to the main inventory, leaving the rest of the hotbar in place.

  2. Whole-hotbar swap

    A separate key moves every hotbar slot into the inventory in one step, clearing the bar quickly.

  3. Fill empty slots

    Items move into empty slots on the other side, so the hotbar stays organized without manual drag and drop.
