Radial Hotbar
by wmakar986w
Radial Hotbar replaces the flat hotbar with a circular window that opens on demand, so items can be picked from a ring instead of a row.
What it does
Holding a key opens a circular window in place of the usual hotbar. The centre of the ring shows the items currently held in the main and off hands. Middle-clicking a slot in the ring selects that item for the main hand, left-clicking selects it for the off hand, and right-clicking is available for a second action. Left-clicking an item location in the ring removes its free slot from the hotbar. Radial Hotbar requires Forge and is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. It is client required and server optional, so the player needs it installed and the server may add it.
Key features
Circular item window
An on-demand ring of hotbar items opens over the screen and closes once a choice is made.
Mouse-button selection
Middle-click sets the main-hand item, left-click sets the off-hand item, and right-click is bound to a further action.
Hand display in the centre
The centre of the ring shows the items currently held in both hands.
