Slot Swapper
by Kadzuta
Slot Swapper lets players move the active hotbar slot with keyboard keys when the mouse wheel is unavailable or unreliable.
What it does
Two keys can be bound to move the selected hotbar cell one step left or right, and the bindings can be set in the controls menu. Holding a key scrolls through the hotbar quickly in the chosen direction, which also helps with navigating the whole inventory. The mod is Forge-only and runs for Minecraft 1.20.1, installed on the client alone.
Key features
Single-press stepping
Each press of a bound key moves the active slot one position left or right, giving precise selection.
Hold to scroll
A held bound key keeps the hotbar moving in the chosen direction, scrolling quickly through the slots.
Configurable keys
Two keys can be bound in the controls menu to move the selection in either direction.
