Slice - Radial hotbar
by Ansi
With Slice installed, a player can open a radial menu from a key press and pick items around a ring instead of scrolling the hotbar.
What it does
Slice replaces the usual hotbar scroll with a customizable radial menu. The ring can be set by radius, item size, rotation angle and inner and outer deadzones, and each slot can show its number, its sprite or both. Menu behavior can be changed as well: the menu can be held open or toggled, items can be selected by click or by release, and hotbar scrolling can be turned on or off. Custom texture packs are supported, and the settings file is reloaded through the mod's reload command.
Slice runs on the client only, so a server does not need it and players can join without installing it. It requires Fabric API, Mod Menu is optional for its settings screen, and Cloth Config API is bundled inside the mod. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with builds covering 1.8.9 – 26.1.2 and the latest release at 1.0.2 for 26.1.2. The code is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0, so the mod is not open source.
