RadialHotbarMOVE
by Souanpt
RadialHotbarMOVE replaces the linear Minecraft hotbar with a circular selection wheel that opens on a key press and cycles items by mouse movement.
What it does
Holding the wheel key brings up a ring of item slots around the cursor. Moving the mouse up or down moves the selection around the ring, so items change without clicking. Releasing the key closes the wheel and keeps the chosen item in hand. The design is modeled on quick-access item wheels in Animal Crossing and Grand Theft Auto V.
The wheel appears with a background blur and a fade-in, not an abrupt pop-up. The vanilla hotbar is hidden by default and can be shown again in the settings, for players who prefer the classic bar. Two visual themes are included, a minimalist set of floating circles and a segmented ring with high-contrast selection paths, and the selection and normal colors can be changed.
The mod is client-side only, so only the player's game needs it and servers run without it. It is built for Fabric, with seven release versions covered and 1.1.3 as the latest file, for 1.21.11. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Radial item wheel
Items are arranged in a circle, and the selection follows the mouse direction instead of a row of numbered slots.
Hands-free cycling
Moving the mouse up and down steps through items, so switching needs no clicks and no number keys.
Auto-hide hotbar
The vanilla hotbar stays hidden by default and can be toggled in the settings for players who want it visible.
Two visual themes
A minimalist floating-circle style and a segmented ring style are available, each with its own selection look.
Custom colors
The normal and selected item colors can be changed, with a default palette of cream and sunlight yellow.
