tacticalwheel
by Zzai
Tacticalwheel replaces the traditional hotbar with a customizable radial wheel HUD for quick slot selection, built for Fabric on 1.21.11.
What it does
Nine quick slots appear in a radial wheel that a player opens and selects from with smooth mouse movement. Main hand and off-hand each get their own wheel, and each slot shows the item icon and name when hovered, so the layout can be read without looking at a bar along the bottom of the screen.
Food gets dedicated handling. Items in the full inventory can be reached from the wheel, and a single key press selects auto-eat, which swaps food into the off-hand and restores the original item afterward. The health display includes a dynamic maximum and absorption hearts.
Installation needs Fabric on 1.21.11 only, since the latest file is 1.0.0 for 1.21.11, published on 2026-03-10. The environment is client-side only, so servers run without it, and the code is licensed as All rights reserved, with public source code available.
Key features
Nine-slot radial wheel
A nine-slot wheel handles quick selection, so items are picked by direction rather than by scrolling a hotbar.
Separate main hand and off-hand wheels
Each hand has its own wheel, so the two sides can carry different sets of quick items without sharing slots.
Item icons and names on hover
Hovering a slot shows its item icon and name, making each entry identifiable at a glance.
Auto-eat with one key
A single key press selects auto-eat, which moves food into the off-hand and returns the original item once eating finishes.
Health bar with absorption hearts
The health display scales its maximum dynamically and includes absorption hearts alongside regular health.
