Hovering Hotbar

Hovering Hotbar brings the elevated hotbar style from Bedrock Edition and Legacy Console Edition to Java Edition. 🎮

By moving the hotbar away from the bottom edge of the screen, it appears to float in place, creating a cleaner and more modern HUD layout. This also allows the full selection highlight to be rendered instead of being partially cut off by the screen border. ✨

The hotbar offset is fully configurable, letting you position it exactly where you want it. To complete the console-inspired look, the experience level display can also be moved above the experience bar. ⚙️
