KSwitch
by Snownee
KSwitch lets a player cycle through different items held in the same slot, from the hotbar or the inventory, with a short press or a long press.
What it does
Players bind a key, by default Mouse Button 4, to open an item-switching HUD. Pressing it brings up the list of items that can take the slot, and the player moves to the previous or next entry to swap them in. Convertible items in the inventory can be converted from one form to another in the same way, and a single item in the hand can be converted without touching the rest of the stack.
The tool works on both the hotbar and the main inventory, so a switch can be made without opening a container. Container screens opened through Fabric are supported, and the instructions for the latest version are included with the mod. Alongside the switching itself, the author describes the mod as a set of neat builders for common hand actions.
Its files target 1.20 – 26.1.2, with the most recent Fabric build for 26.1.2. It runs on the client and on the server, so both need it, and it is released under All rights reserved, which means it is not open source. It requires Fabric Screen Layers and Kiwi.

A short press moves to the next or previous item, while a long press uses a different action.
Hand conversion
A single item held in the hand can be converted to another form without affecting the stack.
Hotbar and inventory

How it compares
Better Slots is a client-side only, open source option under the MIT License for 1.20.1 – 26.3 on the same four loaders, so only players need to install it. No Creative In Survival is released under All rights reserved, is not open source, and is server required with the client optional for 1.21 – 26.2. Vertical Scroll runs on Fabric and NeoForge alone, is client-side only, and is open source under the MIT License for 1.21 – 26.3.
