segmented
by csutora
Segmented lets a player split the hotbar into three segments, so later slots can be reached without moving the hand from the keyboard.
What it does
Instead of pressing keys 1-9 to pick a slot, the player first picks a segment with keys 1-3 and then a slot inside it with keys 1-3 again. The hotbar selector can be replaced with a custom 3D selector, and custom textures for the segment and slot selector are supported. Auto HUD changes its display to reveal the segment change clearly.
The mod is client-side only, so it changes nothing on the server, and it targets Fabric alone. Its required dependencies are Cloth Config API and Fabric API, and Mod Menu is optional for opening its configuration. Cloth Config supplies the settings screen, which lets the player adjust the mod's runtime behavior. Builds cover 1.19.2 – 1.20.1, with 0.3.0-1.20.1 as the latest file for 1.20.1, released under the MIT License and open source.
Key features
Three-segment hotbar
The hotbar is divided into three segments, so the nine slots are reached in two keypresses.
Custom 3D selector
A 3D hotbar selector can replace the default, and its textures can be customized for segments and slots.
Auto HUD display
The HUD shows the active segment, so the change is visible while the player navigates.
Runtime configuration
An optional settings screen lets the player change how the mod behaves while the game runs.

Use cases

Who it’s for: Players who want to reach the later hotbar slots quickly, and resource pack authors who want to restyle the hotbar selector.
How it compares
Slot Swap is an open source Fabric mod that is client-side only and published for 1.19 – 1.20.1 under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only. Scroll2Key is also open source and client-side only on Fabric, released under CC0 1.0 Universal, with files for 1.20.1 – 26.2. Segmented is open source under the MIT License and covers 1.19.2 – 1.20.1, so the two sets of versions overlap only on 1.20.1.

What the author says
A mod that splits your hotbar into 3 segments, and removes the need to move your hand multiple miles every time you want to hotkey to later slots. The way it works is instead of using keys 1-9 to select a slot, you first select a segment using 1-3, and then select a slot in that segment using 1-3 again. This makes it…
