No Item Swap Animation
by MrCrabTAB
No Item Swap Animation removes the slide that plays each time a player switches hotbar slots, so the held item appears at full height at once.
What it does
When a player changes hotbar slot, vanilla slides the new item up from the bottom of the screen. This Fabric mod turns that slide off, so the item is drawn instantly at full height. It affects only the on-screen rendering of the swap. The mod is a client mod: servers run without it, and only players who want the change install it. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Files target 1.21.10 alone, and the latest file is 1.0.0, published 2025-12-27. MrCrabTAB's PVP Animations requires it.
