Smart Pearl
by crqzycat
Smart Pearl lets players throw an ender pearl with one hotkey, from wherever it sits in the hotbar or inventory, without moving the selected item.
What it does
When the hotkey is pressed, the mod scans the hotbar for pearls and runs the throw sequence in the background. It swaps a pearl into the active slot, throws it, then switches back to the previous item within a few milliseconds, so the held item is not lost. The throw key can be set to a single press, and the default refill timer is 0.3 seconds.
An auto-refill system fills hotbar stacks from the main inventory when the player closes the inventory screen, so pearls and other stacks are restocked without manual sorting. The total pearl count is shown beside the hotbar in a scaled-down counter, next to a live cooldown timer that shows how many seconds remain before the next pearl is ready.
The Fabric build targets Minecraft 1.21.11 only, and it needs Fabric Loader and Fabric API. It is client-side only, so only the player needs it, and servers do not. The mod is not open source; its code is All rights reserved, and public links exist for the source code.
