Swift Wheel
by adwadg
Swift Wheel is a Forge client-side utility that opens a dynamic item wheel for quick access to inventory items, without scrolling the hotbar.
What it does
Holding the default hotkey opens a radial item wheel. While it is open, standard mouse actions are paused. Releasing the hotkey over a category confirms the selection, so a player can reach a chosen item in a few movements instead of cycling through the hotbar.
Right-clicking a category switches the wheel to Item List Mode, which shows every available item in that category. Middle-clicking an item in that mode reveals its detailed information. The mod is built around inventory handling in survival and creative play alike.
The mod is Forge-only and runs on the client alone, so servers and other players do not need it. Files exist for 1.20.1, 1.20.2 and 1.20.4, with 1.0.0 for 1.20.4 as the latest release. The code is released under the MIT License, but the project is not open source.
Key features
Radial item wheel
A hotkey-activated wheel lets players pick items from organized categories without scrolling the hotbar.
Category selection
Left-clicking a category and releasing the hotkey confirms the choice, keeping the whole action on one input.
Item List Mode
Right-clicking a category lists every available item in it, so the wheel can cover more items than it shows at once.
Item details
Middle-clicking an item in Item List Mode shows its detailed information without leaving the wheel.

Use cases
Fast swapping in combat
A player who needs a tool or weapon mid-fight can call it up from the wheel instead of switching hotbar slots.
Browsing a large inventory
Item List Mode lets a player look through a full category, such as building blocks or tools, and read details before choosing.
Who it’s for: Players on Forge who want faster inventory access on the client. Because only the client runs it, players can use it on any server without asking the server owner to install anything.
How it compares
Divvy is a client-side Forge and Fabric utility for 1.12.2 – 1.21.11 under All rights reserved, so its license and version range differ from Swift Wheel's. BetterUX covers Fabric and Forge for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, runs on the client or server as optional, and is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only. JCraft Attack Wheel (JCraft Addon) is client-side and works on Fabric and Forge, but only for 1.20.1, under All rights reserved.
