Raised Hotbar

by immolatio

Raised Hotbar moves the Minecraft hotbar higher on the screen, with a slider in the mods menu that sets the height in pixels.

ForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.12.2

What it does

A slider in the mods menu config sets how far the hotbar is raised, measured in pixels. Players who want the hotbar at a specific height can pick it there, and the change applies to the in-game hotbar display.

The mod is aimed at players who want the interface to resemble the Legacy Console Edition or Bedrock layout, and at players who need the hotbar away from the bottom edge for accessibility reasons. Raised Hotbar runs on client and server, so both sides need it. It is published for Forge only, for 1.12.2, with 1.0.0 as the latest file, and it is released under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.

Key features

  1. Hotbar height slider

    A slider in the mods menu config raises the hotbar by a chosen number of pixels.

  2. Symmetrical raise option

    A further option raises the hotbar symmetrically, keeping both sides level with the adjusted height.

  3. Shift option in game

    One option lets the player shift the hotbar height during play rather than only in the config file.

  4. Raised item name text

    A second option raises the item name text that appears when hovering over a hotbar slot, so it stays clear of the moved bar.

  5. Wider item selection ring

    An option widens the item selection ring, making the highlighted slot easier to read.
