Physics Swapping replaces the boring vanilla item movement with dynamic, physics-based jumps. Every time you move an item between slots, it bounces, rotates, and behaves differently — no two swaps look the same.

Features

  • Bouncy physics — items jump with gravity and bounce decay.
  • Randomized parameters — each swap has unique height, bounce count, angle, and duration.
  • Smooth rotation — items tilt left and right during the jump.
  • Fully configurable — tweak everything in the config menu.
  • Client-side only — works on any server.

How It Works

When you move an item in your inventory (Shift+click or drag), it doesn't just teleport to the new slot — it bounces in place right where it lands. Each bounce is unique, with random height, angle, and number of bounces.
