ReInventory Hotswap (continuation of Inventory Hotswap)
by Discorde
Where Inventory Hotswap left off, ReInventory Hotswap picks up the work and lets a player exchange one inventory slot, a whole hotbar or a view spanning the hotbar with one keystroke.
What it does
The mod swaps the contents of a hotbar slot with an inventory slot, or swaps whole hotbars at once, which makes it quicker to reach a stored tool or block mid-fight or mid-build. Three display modes draw the swap view above the hotbar, so the player can see what each slot holds before committing. A few smaller options round out the set.
Installation needs Unnamed Common Library (UCL), which is required on both loaders. The mod is entirely configurable through a config file that is reloaded automatically when it changes, so settings take effect without restarting the game.
Files exist for Fabric and NeoForge on 1.21.1 and 1.21.2, with 0.1.3 for 1.21.2 as the latest build on both loaders. It is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license and is not open source.
Key features
Single slot swap
A single hotbar slot can be exchanged with any inventory slot without moving other items.
Whole hotbar swap
An entire hotbar row can be exchanged with another row in one action, keeping a prepared loadout ready to use.
Three display modes
Swap previews render above the hotbar in one of three styles, chosen according to the player's preference.
Auto-reloaded config
Every option lives in a config file that is reloaded automatically when edited, so changes apply in the running game.
