scroll-keybind
by Anom-uxxx
Scroll Keybind lets players bind the mouse wheel to separate keys that switch hotbar slots, so scrolling no longer moves the hotbar by default.
What it does
Each scroll direction can be assigned its own key in Minecraft's Controls menu, where a player can set Scroll Up and Scroll Down to a number from 1 to 9 and scrolling then selects that hotbar slot. Plain scrolling between hotbar slots is disabled while the bindings are active, and a configuration file controls the setup. Normal scrolling keeps working in inventory screens and menus.
The mod runs on the client alone, so the server does not need it and players join without installing anything. It is built for Fabric and requires Fabric API. Files exist for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest build, published on 2026-04-19. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Scroll direction bindings
Scroll Up and Scroll Down each take a key from the Controls menu, so the wheel can switch slots by number.
Smart scrolling
Wheel input in inventory screens and menus behaves as before, so the binding only changes the hotbar.
Controls menu setup
Entries appear under Options, Controls, Key Binds, and are found by searching for Scroll Up or Scroll Down.
Configuration file
A config file holds the scroll settings, so the setup can be adjusted without changing the in-game menu.
