Move Actionbar
by Darbz
Move Actionbar lets players reposition and rotate the action bar text that appears above the hotbar, so it can sit anywhere on the screen.
What it does
The action bar is the line of text Minecraft shows above the hotbar. The mod lets a player drag that line to another spot, with a Drag Action Bar label used as the handle, and rotate it in 15 degree steps or with free rotation. Positions and angles are stored and restored on the next launch, and a single reset button returns everything to the default placement.
Multiline messages are drawn cleanly across several centered lines when a message contains line breaks, which suits titles that span more than one row. The settings screen saves changes as they are made, and a Done button closes it. The mod is built for Fabric and runs on the client alone, so no server installation is needed. Files cover 1.21.9, 1.21.10 and 1.21.11, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest build, released under CC0 1.0 Universal and not open source.

Multiline rendering

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who want the action bar in a different place or angle on the client. Servers do not need the mod, so it can be added to a single-player or multiplayer client without any server changes.
How it compares
Editable Actionbar is open source under the Apache License 2.0, runs on Fabric for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 and is client-side only. Client Side Action Bar is also client-side only and under the MIT License, but it is published for 1.21.11 alone. Action bar background is client-side only, released under CC0 1.0 Universal like Move Actionbar, and is limited to 1.21.5.
