SmartBar

by AgentBobrStepa

SmartBar lets players search and move hotbar items from an overlay, so a stack buried in the inventory can be brought to the hotbar without scrolling.

What it does

Pressing the search key opens a fast-access overlay over the hotbar. Players type part of an item name and the list narrows to matching items, with filtering that handles localized names. Selecting a result swaps the item into the hotbar slot, and the search can also reorder items already on the bar.

The mod runs on the client alone, so players install it and servers need nothing. It requires Fabric API and is published for Fabric across the game versions 1.20 – 1.21.11, under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Overlay item search

    A search box over the hotbar finds items in the inventory by name and shows them as they are typed.

  2. Localized filtering

    Matching works with localized item names, so searches typed in the language of the game still return results.

  3. Swap and organize

    A chosen item can be swapped into a hotbar slot or moved to organize the bar, without opening the inventory screen.
