KitSync
by if7hightier3
KitSync keeps the hotbar in a saved arrangement, so items return to their preferred slots each time the inventory is opened.
What it does
Players arrange the hotbar as they want it and save that layout under a name. Several named layouts can be kept at once, for example one for PvP minigames and another for survival, and switching between them is quick. When the inventory is opened, the selected layout is applied again and matching items are moved back to their preferred slots, so the hotbar does not stay disordered after looting chests or buying items.
The mod is a lightweight Fabric utility that runs on the client only, so the server does not need it and players join without installing anything on the server side. It is built around a simple command-based interface, and a newly chosen layout takes effect at once, with no game restart. The mod works with the Fabric Loader and is released under All rights reserved.
The latest Fabric file, 1.0.0, is built for 26.1.2 and was published on 2026-07-05. The mod was first published on 2026-07-04 and last updated the following day.

How it compares
Hotbar Config is a Fabric mod for 1.21.11 with a client-side only environment, released under the MIT License and not open source. HotbarBumpers is open source under the MIT License and targets 26.2 – 26.3, a range that does not include the files of KitSync. Gearo Hotbar is also open source under the MIT License, is client-side only and covers the same game versions as KitSync, so the two can be compared directly.
