QuickSlots
by euphorria_a
QuickSlots lets a hotbar slot fire a right-click action on a custom keybind, then return the player to the original slot after a set delay.
What it does
Each hotbar item can be bound to its own key. When that key is pressed, the item is used as if it had been right-clicked, so a bow shoots, food is eaten and a block is placed without the player switching slots by hand. The delay before the original slot is selected again can be set anywhere from 0 to 1 second, and the whole mod can be toggled on or off in the settings.
Right-click simulation can also be applied to empty slots, which is useful when a keybind should act on a block or entity without holding an item. The mod is client-side only, so servers do not need it and players join without installing anything. It requires Cloth Config API, Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin, and is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, which places the code in the public domain, so it is not open source in the license sense. Files exist for Fabric across 13 release versions, 1.20 – 1.21.5, with 1.0.0-mc1.21 for 1.21.5 as the latest.

Use cases
Bow and food shortcuts
A key can shoot a bow or eat food from the hotbar, keeping combat and survival actions one press away.
Block placement
A keybind can place a block from its slot, which helps when building repeatedly from the same position.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who want hotbar items to act on a dedicated key rather than a slot change. Because the mod runs on the client alone, it suits single-player worlds and any multiplayer server, which does not need to install it.
How it compares
KeybindConfigs is client-side only and open source under the MIT License, with files for 1.21 – 1.21.4 on Fabric. SwitchUtils is client-side only, released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license and not open source, with files for 1.20.1 only. Instant Shield is server-side only and open source under the MIT License, covering 1.20 – 26.2 on Fabric, so it is not a substitute for a client input tool.
