Smart Shift

by dreyms

Holding Shift while using a furnace, chest or crop with Smart Shift changes how items move, so players can collect and plant faster.

What it does

Smart Shift is a small quality-of-life utility that adds behavior to the Shift key. Holding Shift while interacting with a furnace lets the player take out smelted items in one step. Holding Shift while clicking a container moves items straight between the hand and the container. Holding Shift and right-clicking with seeds plants crops across a 3x3 area.

The mod runs on the client and on the server, so both sides need it. It is published for Fabric and Forge across 17 release versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.11, and is released under the MIT License. The code is not open source.

Key features

  1. Quick furnace collection

    Holding Shift while interacting with a furnace takes out the smelted items at once.

  2. Direct item transfer

    Holding Shift over a container moves items directly between the hand and the container.

  3. Area planting

    Holding Shift and right-clicking with seeds plants crops in a 3x3 area.
