Extra Hotbar

Fabric client mod that adds dual-hotbar swapping utilities and compact HUD info overlays.

Features

  • Dual hotbar swap system:

    • Swaps between your visible hotbar and a configurable secondary inventory row.
    • Supports full-row swap and single-slot swap logic.
  • Hold and tap swap behavior:

    • Tap or hold the swap key for different actions (configurable).
  • Per-slot double-tap swap:

    • Double-tap number keys 1-9 to swap only that slot.
  • Slot lock support:

    • Lock specific hotbar slots to prevent them from being swapped.
  • Active bar indicator:

    • Shows whether primary or secondary bar is currently active.
  • Panel cycle mode:

    • Cycle HUD info display through: Off -> Armor -> Food -> Both.
  • Armor panel info:

    • Shows equipped armor pieces and remaining durability.
  • Food panel info:

    • Lists edible items currently in inventory with hunger and saturation.
  • Persistent client config:

    • Settings are saved and reloaded from JSON config.

Controls (Default Keybinds)

  • R: Swap hotbars.
  • H: Cycle HUD panels (Off -> Armor -> Food -> Both).
  • K: Toggle lock on the currently selected hotbar slot.
  • 1-9 double-tap: Swap a single corresponding hotbar slot.

You can rebind these in Minecraft controls.
