Scroll Control
Scroll Control changes how the mouse wheel moves through the hotbar, with settings for direction, wrap-around and disabling scrolling altogether.
What it does
Scroll Control handles mouse wheel input over the hotbar and tooltip navigation on the client. Each scroll step moves the selection one slot left or right, and players can switch scrolling off, reverse its direction, or stop the selection from wrapping between slot 1 and slot 9. The options are changed in an in-game configuration screen, so no file editing is needed.
The mod is built on Fabric for Minecraft 1.21.11 and needs Cloth Config API for its settings screen and Fabric API for the loader. It is licensed under the MIT License but is not open source. The Fabric file 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 was published on 2026-02-11, and the first release followed on 2026-02-10. Scroll Control runs on the client alone, so servers do not need it.
Key features

Overflow prevention

How it compares
Scroll Control is client-side only and is released under the MIT License, but it is not open source. Disable Hotbar Scrolling is also client-side and open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, with files for 1.8.9 – 26.3. DisableHotbarWrap is client-side only, under All rights reserved, and covers 1.21.1 – 26.3, so it does not offer the reverse or disable options that Scroll Control adds.
